General Mach Discussion / Re: New member, some mach 3 setup questions and UC100 intermittent connection issue

Update: I bought a Warp9 Tech Design Ethernet Smooth Stepper. Connection was a breeze due to their awesome installation and setup wizard!! What a nice change from just getting a part in a box and having to figure it all out on your own.
Once I got it up and running, I ran into a hiccup in the first 15-20 inches of manual travel. I got an "ESS ran out of data" error message, along with a link to the warp9 site where the solution for the problem is. I reinstalled the driver for my ethernet port, and increased mach 3 priority to "high" and began a 3 hour facing operating on our new one piece HPDE vacuum manifold spoil board we are making. The CNC completed the entire operating successfully without any errors!! That is the first time we have had on operation that long run without a controller sync error of some sort. Hopefully it will continue to work well. Thanks for the support and suggestions, I'm sure I will be here fairly often with more.
