Troubleshooting the Initial Connection
Getting the analyzer to work with your network often requires detailed
knowledge of your local network software. This section attempts to help
you with some common problems. Contact your network administrator

The analyzer LAN interface does not need or include any proprietary

utilities and drivers.
Either a hardware problem or a software problem can prevent the
analyzer's remote file server from communicating over the LAN. The
following common problems may be encountered:
