You may require access to Roos Instrument's Guru located in Santa Clara at "guru.roos.com". This connection facilitates RITS reporting, hardware upgrade support, test plan development, and other software upgrade and support issues. Typically, the production floor does not have direct outgoing connections to the internet, so some network configuration changes are required. Normally these ports are only necessary from a developer's workstation or Cassini system while they are actively working with RI a support issue. Users can push diagnostic data or configurations to RI or pull software updates to their local machine for evaluation. When the problem is solved, the updates can be pushed to the Guru server and automatically update all connected clients. Software updates occur when the Application is launched or configuration reloaded.

Troubleshooting
Verify that the system has a valid IP address, netmask and default route. The IP address should either be DHCP or a static assigned address (like 192.168.22.36), netmask (255.255.255.0) and default route (192.168.22.1). Confirm that the IP address is valid on your network. To see the current IP address from the System Controller, use command "ifconfig lan0" ("ipconfig -a" from a Guru Server).
Verify that the DNS resolves the hostname. ("nslookup guru.roos.com")
Verify that the system can ping the guru server. Open a command window, enter "ping guru.roos.com" to test the connection. (note: some firewalls also block outbound ICMP packets, so this may not work)
