B - Troubleshooting
This Appendix discusses how to diagnose and Þx 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 will be displayed.
NOTE: When troubleshooting, always ensure that the physical
connections (power cable, network cable, and serial cable) are
secure.
NOTE: Some unexplained errors may be caused by duplicate IP
addresses on the network. Make sure that your MSS IP address
is unique.
