Troubleshooting the Access Point

This section provides you with information on getting help with your
installation and some general problems and solutions.

Getting Help

With Your

Installation

The access point provides some configuration error messages that may
help you troubleshoot your installation. Or, you can call Allied Telesyn
Technical Support.

Using the Configuration Error Messages

When you select Save/Discard Changes, the access point checks for
potential problems with the network configuration and security
settings. If you see error message hyperlinks under the Possible
Configuration Errors heading, you can select the hyperlink to go to the
screen where you can fix the configuration.

Calling Allied Telesyn Technical Support

The access points are designed to be easy to install and configure;
however, you may need to call Allied Telesyn Technical Support if you
have problems. Before calling, be sure you can answer the following

‰ What error message did you see?

‰ Can you reproduce the problem?

‰ What versions of access point firmware are you using? For help,
