Charlene Melvin CIS 150 5.3 Troubleshooting 12/3/2023 Guided Practice – Troubleshooting You lost power in your house, and many of your items are no longer working. Your cable connecting your house to the pole also came down and needs to be reattached. You will first correct your cable network setup in this practice, so everything works in your house. Task 1 – Identifying the problem Identify the problem with each item. Establish a theory of probable cause, and test the theory to determine the cause. Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution.
Charlene Melvin CIS 150 5.3 Troubleshooting 12/3/2023 Verify full system functionality and, if applicable, implement preventative measures. Document findings, actions, and outcomes. Don’t forget network security! Wireless Wifi – HomeWiFi Identify Problem: Wireless network not working. Theory of Probable Cause: Power outage might have caused the router to lose configuration, or security settings may be disabled. Plan of Action: Reboot the WiFi router, check and reconfigure security settings. Verification: Ensure devices can connect to WiFi, and check network security settings. Preventative Measures: Consider using a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for the router, and enable network security. Findings: Cable modem Not connected to Coaxial, network security disabled Actions: Connected cable modem to Coaxial, enabled network security and set password. Connected all wireless devices. Outcome: All devices connected to internet. HomeWiFi-PC Identify Problem: PC unable to connect to WiFi. Theory of Probable Cause: Possible DNS issues. Plan of Action: Execute ipconfig /renew to refresh DNS settings. Verification: Check if the PC can now connect to WiFi and access the internet.

Charlene Melvin CIS 150 5.3 Troubleshooting 12/3/2023 Preventative Measures: Save WiFi credentials securely on the devices. Action: Reconfigured SSID and password Outcome: Internet connection successful IoTController Identify Problem: IoT devices not responsive or not connected. Theory of Probable Cause: Disrupted communication due to power loss. Plan of Action: Reconfigure or reconnect IoT devices to the network. Verification: Ensure devices respond to commands and operate as expected. Preventative Measures: Ensure stable power sources for IoT devices. Action: Reconfigured internet settings and enabled SSID and password Outcome: Internet connection successful IoT-Smartphone0 Identify Problem: IoT devices not responsive or not connected. Theory of Probable Cause: Disrupted communication due to power loss. Plan of Action: Reconfigure or reconnect IoT devices to the network. Verification: Ensure devices respond to commands and operate as expected. Preventative Measures: Ensure stable power sources for IoT devices. Action: Reconfigured SSID and password Outcome: Internet connection successful IoT-Light Identify Problem: IoT devices not responsive or not connected. Theory of Probable Cause: Disrupted communication due to power loss. Plan of Action: Reconfigure or reconnect IoT devices to the network. Verification: Ensure devices respond to commands and operate as expected. Preventative Measures: Ensure stable power sources for IoT devices. Action: Reconfigured SSID and password Outcome: Internet connection successful to IoT Controller IoT-Fan Identify Problem: IoT devices not responsive or not connected. Theory of Probable Cause: Disrupted communication due to power loss. Plan of Action: Reconfigure or reconnect IoT devices to the network. Verification: Ensure devices respond to commands and operate as expected. Preventative Measures: Ensure stable power sources for IoT devices.
