9. Troubleshooting

9.1 Calling Black Box

If you determine that your LAN Solution Network
Tester is malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter or
repair the unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
Contact Black Box at 724-746-5500.

Before you do, make a record of the history of the
problem. We will be able to provide more efficient and
accurate assistance if you have a complete description,
including:

• the nature and duration of the problem.

• when the problem occurs.

• the components involved in the problem.

• any particular application that, when used,

appears to create the problem or make it worse.
