S6 Hardware Utility scan returns random results

[Frankieswi]

I run 3 networks, LOR Regular on com7, AUX A on com4, and AUX B on com5.

LOR Regular had 9 LOR 1600x controllers, all at firmware 1.15.....unit ID's 01-09.  Same config for years.

AUX A and Aux B are for Pixie8's running the LOR packaged pixel trees. Aux A is Unit ID's 21-28 and firmware 1.01, and Aux B is 31-38 with firmware 1.07.

if I scan for 01-38 ONLY on LOR REG, it get ID's 01-09, as expected

if I scan for 01-38 ONLY on Aux A, I get ID's 21-28, as expected

if I scan for 01-38 ONLY on Aux B, I get ID's 31-38, as expected

if I scan for 01-38 ONLY on the AUX networks, I get ID's 21-28 and 31-38, as expected.

If I scan for 01-38 on LOR Reg AND either AUX A or AUX B, i get the expected results.

When I try to scan all three networks, I get mixed results...sometimes 1-3 1600x's drop off.... sometimes one of the Pixies drop off.... it varies, but i have yet to get all 3 nets with all units.

Any clue?

I checked unit ID's on all controllers.

I checked all ethernet cables.

I am running S6.3.6 Pro.

I've been running this config for 3 years now.  It never happened on the S5 HU or earlier versions of S6.

Is It a firmware issue?

This has been happening at times for at least a decade - nothing new with S6.

Interesting.  I haven’t had this happen before….
