Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
The following troubleshooting scenarios provide high-level guidance on how to solve a range
of potential problems with the SyncServer.
n A bullet is a proposed solution. The user should try each solution in turn until the problem
is solved.
n A numbered step is a procedure. The user should complete the procedure to solve the
problem.
For additional help, contact Microsemi Customer Assistance (on page 5).
Passwords
You've tried logging in and the password doesn't work.
n
Passwords are case sensitive. Check that that Caps Lock isn't on.
n
Use the Recover Password feature, if it is available and configured.
n Have another user log in and change your password settings.
n If all else fails, restore the factory default configuration using the hardware jumper. See
Restoring the Factory Default Configuration (on page 167).

AlarmsandNotification
You're not receiving alarm notifications by email or snmp.
n Check that the alarm notification settings are enabled, as shown in the Factory Default
Settings for Alarms (on page 89) topic.
n
To receive SNMP traps, verify that the NETWORK - SNMP and NETWORK - SNMP Traps
pages are configured correctly.
n
To receive email notification, verify that the SERVICES - Email page is configured correctly.
n Verify that LAN1 is configured with a valid DNS server address.
NTPClients
The NTP clients can't reach or synchronize with the SyncServer. On the SyncServer:
n
The Network LED on the front panel should be green. Otherwise, check the physical net-
work port connections. Also see Status LEDs (on page 15).
n
Check the configuration of the network ports on the NETWORK - Ethernet page, described
in Configuring the Network Ports (on page 149).
n
If the Sync LED on the front panel is red, the SyncServer is unsynchronized and NTP cli-
ents won't synchronize to it. Configure the SyncServer with a valid reference input and/or
NTP server/peer associations. Also see Using GPS (on page 140), Using the Other
Input References (on page 150), and Adding Server Associations (on page 150).
