Check you power connections. Put some dielectric grease on the power connector cable.
If not a connection issue try resetting defaults and see if it recognizes the motor and live.
Also sounds like it could losing network connection. The Ultrex and Mega Live are network devices. I would try both the suggestions then start looking at the cables/connections to the Ethernet Switch. Since there are more than 2 network devices, they will all be connected to a switch, wherever it is located. The devices may still be powered on but you will get that message if they lose connection to the network.
Have a Blessed Day,
Mike

I had a similar issue with my trolling motor loosing network connection; I found it was a loose connection for the ethernet power with a blade style connector on the house fuse panel of my boat. I ended up separating my electronics and putting them on a separate BlueSeas fuse block using ring connectors connected to a dedicated Lithium battery. Haven't had an issue with disconnecting of the network since.
