Troubleshooting IP Connectivity from a Remote
Location

If problems occur connecting to your company’s MAX Communication
Server from a remote location, they may be due to a failure to connect to
your ISP or due to firewalls at your office preventing direct access to the
MAX Communication Server.

As a test, you can choose Run from the Windows Start menu, then enter

Ping <IP address> [ENTER]

where

is the MAX Communication Server system you

want to connect to. An example of the IP address format is
123.234.231.143

If you do not get a response, contact your LAN administrator for support.

Also, check to verify that the necessary ports are open.

The version of Max-
Agent on your desktop is
out of date.

The installed version of
MaxAgent does not match
the version of MAX Com-
munication Server on the
system server.

Upgrade MaxAgent to match the
current running version of MAX
Communication Server.
