Appendix A: Troubleshooting and Contact Info
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 display. 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.
When troubleshooting the following problems, make sure that the xDirect is powered up. Confirm
that you are using a good network connection.
