10. Troubleshooting
This chapter describes what to do if you have an issue with your HSM, or your Security
World Software.
10.1. Checking operational status
Use the following methods to check the operational status of the module.
10.1.1. Enquiry utility
Run the enquiry utility to check that your module is working correctly. The enquiry utility
is in the bin subdirectory of the nCipher directory. This is usually:
•
C:\Program Files\nCipher\nfast for Windows
•
/opt/nfast for Linux
If the module is working correctly, the enquiry utility returns the message:
