that compatible SFPs and fiber type is being used for
connectivity.
Use the loopback mode to test the connections, see The
Diagnostics Tab
on page 59.

Traffic Flow

Symptom

Explanation and Possible Solutions

Traffic is not being passed

Verify that the Host and Network port transceivers (1
Gig and 10 Gig Ethernet Datacryptors only) and the
cables are properly seated.
Use the Ping Peer unit on the Ethernet encryption tab to
confirm connectivity.
Use the loopback mode to test the connections, see The
Diagnostics Tab

Fan/Heat Monitor Alarm

Symptom

Explanation and Possible Solutions

Fan/Heat Monitor Alarm

Consult the Environment tab on the Properties dialog
for readings of the fan speeds and unit temperature.
Compare these readings to those recorded during
normal operation to determine the nature of the
problem.
Verify that nothing has become inserted in the fan or
ventilation holes which could restrict the fan operation
or airflow. In a normal working environment i.e. setup
in accordance with the

rack mounting instructions

the

unit is able to function correctly with a fan or fans
disabled.
If the condition persists then it could indicate that the
temperature is above the level required for reliable
operation and the unit should be returned to Thales for
investigation/Repair.
