Learn about some possible solutions to try if you are experiencing
problems that occur when a local console on a network (LAN) fails to connect
to a server.
Try these possible solutions:
Verify the network is working.
Verify that you provide the correct password to allow the server to access
your service device information during the configuration wizard. Also, verify
that you are providing the correct service tools user ID and password.
If you are using Ethernet for your network, you can use a crossover cable
to directly connect the PC to the adapter temporarily. This isolates the PC
and server from any potential problems on your network that might interfere
with correct operations.
Note: A crossover cable is a standard network cable
that has the transmit and receive signal wires reversed. This
essentially allows each end to act as if a hub, switch, or router is between
them.
