After flash, this brand new unit was showing all connections and then visibly became what is shown below - many of the connections dropped off for no apparent reason.

Turning unit off then on brought the connections back (but in the past they will again suddenly disappear again 1 or 2 days later).

The ports are showing the same number?

Also, is there any way to get counts of connections? To show all of the connections for a chassis on a single screen or to output the topology or even a box to a text file? It's difficult to map a configuration when you have to do screen shots to see what the complete connected system paths looks like.

-------------------

All the 5000's and 5100's were turned off and back on after the flash. From the 1st floor data center we could only see 51 of 108 systems. Turning the unit (5000) the 5100 was connected to off and on again (for a second time) the list then showed 108. Switching to systems on the 1st floor (there is a total of 3 AMX5000s on 1st floor and 2 on 3rd floor) was no problem. Switching to systems on 3rd floor, screen would go black and even pressing the PrtScrn button would not visibly bring menu back... but typing as thought the menu was up and switching to a machine on 1st floor would bring screen back. Same thing happened in reverse on 3rd floor. Showing only 5x systems on 3rd floor until 5000 was switched off and back on again, then 108. When switching to systems on 1st floor, either black screen or horrible video of menu (kind of purple video) and skewed (unusable) video of selected system.

All flashes were downloaded from Avocent site 4/18/05 before flash.
