We've certainly encountered downstream LDM-s disconnecting in order to switch the transmission mode of a connection between PRIMARY and ALTERNATE. In your case, however, it appears that your downstream LDM process either terminates or fails to re-establish the connection. Is there any chance I could log onto the system in question as the LDM user? Failing that, is there anything in your LDM log file that would indicate what the problem might be? > Thanks, > > Michael > > > > Michael K Johnson - N0VX > > National Weather Service > > Central Region Headquarters > > > > address@hidden Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: WUB-515971 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
