When a Socket goes offline, the primary concern is restoring service as quickly as possible. Cato’s Sockets are software-based and the majority of issues with the Sockets are software issues. Correcting the software issue is the quickest route to restoring service. As such, Cato’s first step to resolving the problem and restoring service is to reinstall the software and reset the Socket. These articles explain how to reset the Sockets:
Note: You can connect to a brand new Socket by plugging a PC to the Socket’s LAN2 interface on an X1500 Socket or on the MGMT interface of an X1700. Then open an Internet browser and go to https://169.254.100.1.
If flashing the Socket doesn't restore service, it may be necessary to replace the Socket. Please go to https://support.catonetworks.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to file a new Support request.
When filing the request, please select the Cato Socket request type.
In general, please complete the Cato Socket form as completely as possible. The more details provided in the initial request, the quicker and more accurately Cato can respond to the issue.
