Network Issue - Flashing Green Light Setup Status: 'IP is Out of Range' OR 'IP is Outside The Subnet Mask'

|
- Step 1: Inform installer to double check the IP details and make sure all inputs are correct.
- Step 2: Mostly likely is caused by wrong Server Address. Take note of the company as well, see if they are using own server or ours.

Network Issue - Flashing Green Light Setup Status: Proxy is Not Reachable
|
- Rule: Proxy is set but not able to access to our Server Network Issue.
- Analytics Server not reachable will also cause this issue.
|
- Step 1: Start by checking if Analytics Server is reachable whenever this status appears.
- Step 2: Reboot the setup wizard and centroid.
- Currently, there is no way for us to differentiate between Proxy issue and Server issue. To do that, it requires a server that has 100% uptime and is accessible even in client server.

Cable Issue - Constant Yellow Light Setup Status: Eth0 is Not Enabled
|
- Rule: Failed to obtain information on ethernet cable connected to centroid.
- Constant yellow light is most likely related to cable issues. Normally due to faulty cable/cable not crimped correctly/connection between ports not plugged firmly.
- Must be resolved before the installers leave the site. We can't do anything remotely if it is a cable issue.
|
- Step 1: Double check the cable, ask the installer to re-crimp the cable.
- Step 2: swap with another cable if the issue still persist.
- Step 3: If the installers have a cable tester (RJ45 tester https://prnt.sc/1v8d1s0) with them, ask them to use it to check if the cable is faulty.
- Step 4: Ask the installer to connect the same cable to a working centroid.
- Step 5: If it is yellow light, change centroid.
- Step 6: If it is not yellow light, change cable. Installer can use any cables other than the one provided by us.
