The UCM/ETH02 module seemed to have been faulty. I returned the unit to the local distributor who tested the main board, UCM and daughter card. This revealed a faulty daughter card (ETH02). ETH02 now replaced with an ETH03.
Ran the vocab update successfully. All seems back to normal - at a cost of course (replacement of ETH02).
I would however like to highlight that when we initially implemented the ETH02 I higlighted the fact that the vertical component situated right next to the ethernet housing/plug was getting extremely hot (which in my opinion is a basic design flaw). This to me is not normal but I was told that it is known to operate at high temps - something I dont agree with at all. I accepted the fact that this unit would reach end of life much sooner than expected.
The interesting thing is that the ETH03 is a redesigned board to which it seems this problem was resolved. Now the question is - howcome was this not addressed by the manufacturer in terms of a recall. The cost of the ETH03 isnt that high but it is the principle that matters.
Your comments to this would be much appreciated.
Regards
Ronnie
