No Meridian endpoint uses a GB connection. They are all 100-lan or whatever it's called. Only Cores would go GB, not sure which do exactly.

But I'm still slightly puzzled how this test would really help. Too complicated in itself to rule things out without ruling new things in...

Why don't you start again and explain exactly what your kit is and what your problem is.
