DXi9200 system is not visible on the Ethernet network.

Try to ping the DXi9200 system IP address from a host on the same network. If the ping reports round trip times, the DXi9200 system is active. If not, check the cables, switches, or hubs for damaged components. If everything checks out, contact Quantum Customer Support.

DXi9200 remote management pages are not visible.

IF you cannot connect to the DXi9200 remote management pages, verify that the following network settings for the DXi9200 are correct:

An Ethernet cable is removed during normal operation.

The system will discontinue use of the associated Ethernet port. A Service ticket will be issued. The possibility of errors exist; data corruption will not occur.

Reconnect the cable as soon as possible. It is not necessary to power the system off. Depending on the state of the system when the Ethernet cable was removed, replication, system management, or ingest may need to be restarted.
