Thanks for Your help.
I'll let you know how it goes on.

Hello to all, here comes an Update:
after the Ethernet port failure i configured my SBS1er to communicate via USB (worked fine, til last week).
The USB LED form the SBS started Flashing, and my WinPC was connecting and disconnecting the USB to SBS port.
It came to my attention that my Radio-controlled Wall Clock and also my direct decoding NIXI Clock have been out of syn.
Other Radio-controlled Clocks in my house are working fine (i use the DCF-77 Station on 77.5Khz).
So i suspected some RF Interference caused by one of my Equipments.
I digged up an old AM Radio (on LW) and walked around my Equipments.
Cumming closer to the SBS1er the noise increased dramatically.
I disconnected the Power supply from the SBS and the Interference disappeared.
I measured the output-voltage from the Power-supply, whiteout Load = 12.2V
So lets measure more realistic connecting Resistors to Simulate real work conditions:
Load 50mA with 240 Ohm = 11.6 V
Load 100mA with 120 Ohm = 9.1 V
Load 193mA with 62 Ohm = 7.2 V
Then i used my Lab Power-supply to feed the SBS and that SBS operated normal.
What if the Ethernet port was also failing due the bad Power supply ?
I connected the SBS via Lan to my Router, removed the USB Connection and Reseted the SBS.
From the Browser (using my Initial SBS IP-Address) i could directly connect to the Lantronix module.
Reconfiguring Basestation to use LAN connection and everything was back to Normal.

Interesting is that there was no difference in the brightness of the SBS LEDs.
The faulty AC/DC Adapter AVM04047 12V 1.2A was made in Maroco for AVM (the Manufacturer of the Fritz Routers).

Once more, thank you very very much Anmer for your support and time.

Best regards
Hardy

Thanks for the update report.  Very intersting and not something I've seen before.

I guess the SBS-1er power supply wasn't the official Kinetic version?

on the contrary,
this was the original Power supply delivered by my German Supplier for Kinetic Avionics products  (THICOM Bremen in 2011).
I guess as an replacement for the original to fit the German Power sockets.

I suspect that some
electrolyt capacitors (after about 7 years of no stop operation) have dried out and thus caused this faulty image.
In my experience, such power supplies fail completely.



Anmer

Thanks.

The good news is you found the cause and now we know about another potential problem.
