B: Troubleshooting
This Appendix discusses how to diagnose and fix errors quickly yourself without having to
contact a dealer or Lantronix. It will help to connect a terminal to the serial port while
diagnosing an error to view any summary messages that are displayed.
When troubleshooting, always ensure that the physical connections (power cable, network
cable, and serial cable) are secure. If you have trouble with wireless networking, it may help
to connect the MPS to a wired Ethernet network to verify that it is working properly and to
check the wireless settings.
Note: Some unexplained errors may be caused by duplicate IP addresses on
the network. Make sure that your MPS IP address is unique.
