we have a few of these sensors and they operate very well.
Very occasionally the SNMP communication fails i have found this to be due to the public password being changed (all by itself). I think this is as a result of some other program messig with the passwords.
Environment is all microsoft servers??
has anybody else experienced this problem (it has only occured twice in over a year so it is not critical in any way but it would be nice to sort it out)

Could you be more detailed, when the password change occured? Was it after read or write operation, or after another operation with sensor?
Offline
i only ever do reads.
I have been told it may be linked to SNMP discovery packets being sent by other services on the network?
Offline
I think, it is unlikely. I'll try to simulate this situation.

I have found the solution
It is some discovery type software for a type of RS485 to ethernet convertor being used on our network.
Every time this software is used is seems to reset sensors using the 1.4.4.00 firmware the sensors i have with 1.4.4.06 have never reset (but that could just be luck).
