Hi,


Reply from the device vendor:


> New firmware Ver1.20 (2022/1) fixed LAN communication failure.
> When the LAN communication is performed, the unique number (serial

> If there is only one CA5351 on the line, you will not notice it, but if you

The bug is that the MAC address becomes the initial value.




Best regards.

Some updates:


I checked the MAC addresses of the 3 devices,

they are different in network setting menu and

they are different seen by another computer.


I asked device vendor the problem,

well, they would send me the new firmware to update the device.


Best regards.

A recent experience - might be related or not:

We have seen similarly weird behavior when (due to a firmware bug) multiple devices of the same type were using the same MAC address. IP addresses were statically configured and correct.
The switch (that the devices were connected to) was updating its arp tables every ~10sec, and we saw StreamDevice connections timing out then reconnecting to a different device.
Of course, any tests with a single device were always working just fine.

Cheers,
~Ralph
