Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting
The key to problem solving is to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by comparing
what the appliance is doing to what it should be doing. The T860 APNA has LEDs and NIC
indicators on the front and rear panels for the indication of power, disk activity, Ethernet
activity, etc. These indicators can assist in isolating the problem to a specific subsystem.

Troubleshooting Bypass Mode (Fail-to-Wire)
The T860 APNA is equipped with a capability known as “bypass mode” or “fail-to-wire.”
This capability is designed to prevent a single point of failure. If there is a serious problem
with the T860 APNA, the bypass pair goes into bypass mode and forwards traffic through
as though the appliance were a wire.
A bypass pair may be configured as either “fail-to-wire” or “fail-to-block.” If a bypass pair is
configured for “fail-to-block,” bypass mode will never be activated, even if power is lost. Bypass
