Trouble Shooting
================

1) When the utility is running under network mode, connection and messages might be lost
   due to heavy network traffic or unstable network system. If you see this problem, try 
   to use the REFRESH button under right click on one of the tree icons. If some of the 
   information still not updated, try re-connect to the Message Server or re-login to the
   Message Agent. (Note: When the utility is running, some of the property pages will refresh 
   itself in every 3 minutes.)

2) When logging out and then logging in as a different user, user rights might take 2-5 seconds
   to get updated. 


(If you have a specific problem of using the PAM utility, please contact the Technical Support
Department of Promise Technology.)
