APPENDIX D Troubleshooting SBC Express Please refer to this list if you are having problems using SBC Express or if you receive an error message. If after troubleshooting, you are still having problems, then you should contact the numbers listed in Appendix A. Step Problem Minimum Resources SBC Express verifies minimum requirements on several resources including hard drive space, RAM, operating system level, and processor speed and family.
Ping Test The Ping Test is usually accomplished within the Configure TCP/IP step, where SBC Express pings the default gateway. An explicit IP address can also be used. Failure during this test can occur from invalid network settings, the Ethernet cable not being plugged in, the DSL modem not being in synch, or if the specified IP address does not allow a ping. Make sure your Ethernet cable is plugged in and powercycle your DSL modem. Use the “Retry” button to try the test again.
