14 The DIRECWAY System Control Center
The Connectivity Test
Link
The Connectivity Test link is used to test the DW6000’s connectivity to the
NOC. You may lose connectivity to a particular server on the Internet server due
to the Internet or the satellite network being heavily loaded, or due to that server
being down. If possible, check connectivity to some other server on the Internet
to ensure it is not a server-specific problem.
Use the Connectivity Test when performing the troubleshooting procedures
described in Chapter 5 – DW6000 Troubleshooting, on page 25.
