WiBox® 2100E Device Server User Guide 83
12: Troubleshooting
This chapter discusses how you can diagnose and fix errors quickly without having to contact a
dealer or Lantronix. It helps to connect a terminal to the serial port while diagnosing an error to
view summary messages that may be displayed. When troubleshooting, always ensure that the
physical connections (power cable, network cable, and serial cable) are secure.
Note: Some unexplained errors might be caused by duplicate IP addresses on the
network. Make sure that your unit's IP address is unique.
