1. Main Symptom List




The main symptom list is the entry point for approaching procedures dealing with a specific network area or component. From the 14 main network failure symptom choices that follow, decide which one most closely relates to the failure symptom you have encountered in your particular network. Click on the symptom to go to the appropriate page. If for some reason you feel that your particular failure symptom is associated with a certain network component, you can at your discretion go directly to the respective page.

While deciding, also note if the failure symptom fits logically into one of the following network areas:
  • All network users
  • A group of network users
  • One network user

In addition, note whether the failure symptom is classified as solid or intermittent.
