18.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
Some EC20S faults and anomalies can be diagnosed from:
- the visual signaling provided by the front panel LEDs (see 11.1),
- the ALARMS signaling provided by the alarm signals (see 11.2),
- status information available on the web interface (see 11),
- the events log available on the “Events Logging” web page (see 13.10),
- status information available from the SNMP interface (see 14).
- A “network overload” message can occur (meaning network load could impact the timing
sequences). This will appear only 5 minutes on the status web page and then it will be
acquitted and saved in the log file). I case of network issue, it indicates if NTP or NMEA
distribution may have been impacted.
