Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.
Always restart your network in this sequence:
1. Turn off and unplug the modem, turn off the router, shut off the SC101T, and
shut down the computers.
2. Plug in and turn on the cable or DSL modem. Wait about 2 minutes.
3. Turn on the router. Wait about 1 minute.
4. Turn on the SC101T.
5. Turn on the computers.
Check the status lights to verify correct operation.
When powered on, the SC101T power light will be on. When connected to an
operational Ethernet network, the Ethernet status light will be lit. The label on the
SC101T back panel identifies these status lights.
Update the firmware of an existing SC101 you may have before
adding a SC101T to your network.
Be sure to use the new version 2.x Storage Central Manager software to update the
firmware of an existing SC101 before you add a SC101T to your network.
