I can not tell from the pictures, make sure that you use a SHIELDED Ethernet cable, no longer than 30 meters,  between the amp and controller as per the published documents. Use a standard  UTP cable from the controller to your router or switch.

Thanks for your feedback . The Ethernet cable is a standard UTC cable with a length of 50 cm. I will shorten the antenna cable when the definitieve position is determend

Sorry I am not sure what "UTC" means in this context.  I imagine "U" might mean "unshielded" and if so, I would switch over to a shielded cable.
