Running a Diagnostics Test:

1.

The diagnostics test will perform several checks on the current status of your MWEB W40

setup. It is a very useful tool that will enable you to troubleshoot your setup yourself. 

2.

Click  on the  “Diagnostics  Test”  icon  on  the  utility  main  menu  (refer  to  the  “Using  the 

Management Utility” section). The following screen will be displayed:

3.

Click the “Run Diagnostics” button to start the test. The items will be tested one by one. 

Should one of the checks fail, a help screen will appear that will assist you in rectifying the 
problem.

4.

All checks are critical to your Internet connectivity and will cause the diagnostics test to halt 

in order for you to rectify the problem. An exception to this is the Wireless check, as you might 
have opted to disable the wireless feature.

5.

Some checks will display useful information on successful completion of the Diagnostics 

test.
