Troubleshooting
This chapter provides information on isolating and resolving problems with
FORMULA 8200 operation.
Ethernet networks tend to be fairly simple, but they can still have problems
that take time to resolve. The most common problems are associated with the
actual network cabling.
If you have problems with a newly established network (initial setup), the
trouble is most likely related to cabling or addressing. If the network has been
operational for an extended period and is now beginning to have problems, the
trouble is probably related to recent additions or changes to the network, or
configuration settings on your switch.
