Troubleshooting Checklist
The following checklist may help you diagnose your problem:
• Verify that you are using the correct types of cables on the correc
t connectors
and that all cables are connected securely.
Note: Most customer problems reported to Comtrol Technical Support are
eventually traced to cabling or network problems.
• Isolate the DeviceMaster from the network by connecting the device directly to
a NIC in a host system.
• Verify that the Ethernet hub and any other network devices between the
system and the DeviceMaster are powered up and operating.
• Reset the power on the DeviceMaster and watch the PWR or Status light
activity.
