2.

 

Confirm software settings 

3.

 

Contact TigerStop Customer Support 

Confirm Hardware Connections 

The first step in troubleshooting almost any type of technical failure is to check the physical 
connections.  Turn the power off, then trace the path of communication from one end to the other and 
ensure that everything is securely in place.  This is usually accomplished by unplugging, then re-plugging, 
each end of each cable. In this case, the critical cables to check are: 

 

Serial cable connecting the TigerStop controller to the adapter box. 

 

Ethernet cable connecting the adapter box to the network. 

 

Power cable for the adapter box. 

Confirm Software Settings 

Review setup procedure in the topic Run Ethernet Device Installer to view the software settings and 
correct them if necessary.
