Troubleshooting Some advice on errors that may occur on the system is given below:

There Is No Port Information For My Device

The Properties dialog box for the device you selected does not show a tree on the left-hand side, so it is not possible to view the properties of individual ports on that device.

The most likely reason for this is that 3Com Network Director does not support the device. For devices that are not supported by 3Com Network Director, neither unit or port information can be extracted, so no properties can be viewed for either a unit or a port on that device. Ensure that 3Com Network Director supports the device.
