Table 59   Troubleshooting the Start-Up of Your G-1000
PROBLEM
CORRECTIVE ACTION
None of the LEDs 
turn on when I plug in 
the power adaptor. 
Make sure you are using the supplied power adaptor and that it is plugged in to an 
appropriate power source. Check that the power source is turned on. 
If the problem persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact 
your local vendor.  
The G-1000 reboots 
automatically 
sometimes.
The supplied power to the G-1000 is too low. Check that the G-1000 is receiving enough 
power.
Make sure the power source is working properly.

PROBLEM
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Cannot access the 
G-1000 from the 
LAN.
If the ETHN LED on the front panel is off, check the Ethernet cable connection 
between your G-1000 and the Ethernet device connected to the ETHERNET port.
Check for faulty Ethernet cables.
Make sure your computer’s Ethernet adapter is installed and working properly.
Check the IP address of the Ethernet device. Verify that the IP address and the subnet 
mask of the G-1000, the Ethernet device and your computer are on the same subnet. 
I cannot ping any 
computer on the 
LAN.
If the ETHN LED on the front panel is off, check the Ethernet cable connections

Check the Ethernet cable connections between the Ethernet device and the LAN 
computers.
Check for faulty Ethernet cables.
Make sure the LAN computer’s Ethernet adapter is installed and working properly.
Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask of the G-1000, the Ethernet device and 
the LAN computers are on the same subnet.
