Problem Solving
This chapter contains tables describing possible problems with the
controller hardware/software installation, configuration, connec-
tion to the network access device, and network interconnection
(communication with a target node). The tables suggest causes and
solutions for each symptom.
The diagnostic tables are grouped in the following categories:
•
Controller, Driver Configuration, and Installation Faults —
Refer to Table 3–1 if you experience problems during instal-
lation and no FDDI connection has been made.
•
Network Connection Faults — Refer to Table 3–2 if you ex-
perience problems when the controller is first connected to a
network access device.
•
Network Interconnect Faults — Refer to Table 3–3 if you
cannot communicate with a target node.
Refer to Section 3.2, Diagnosing Problems with a Previously Op-
erational Controller, if you suspect this node/link is causing a com-
munication failure in a network that was previously functional.
