Network Troubleshooting

 

 

Introduction 

 
 
This document is meant to help you understand some of the problems that may 

arise with the implementation of our equipment.  We will do our best to help 

you resolve problems related to our equipment, but please understand that Adtec 

is not in the business of supporting your network.  It is advisable to consult your 

Network Administrator before installing any Network related products. 

 
The First Question to ask yourself when faced with a Network problem:  

Is my 

Problem a Hardware or Configuration Problem? 

 

Sources of Hardware Related Problems 

 
 
Cables are the most common Hardware Problem encountered.  We recommend 

that you use 10BaseT (unshielded, twisted pair, and 4 Conductor Min (Cat 3)) 

cables. We use Straight cables for PC – Hub and Soloist – Hub connection.  The 

Swapped (crossover) cables are used for Hub – Hub, PC – PC, and Soloist - 

Soloist connection.  NOTE:  Some Hubs have a Crossover switch which will 

allow the use of either a straight through or swapped cable.

Caution: 

Another problem related 

to Cabling is the Connectors.  The 
RJ-45 Connectors required for 
CAT-3 or CAT-5 cables need to be 
tightly crimped.  It is suggested that 
only premade cable be used.  Any 
gaps in the crimp will cause 
connection problems.
