Goal
Determine whether the station hardware is unreliable.
Steps
1) Swap network cable or port with a known-good station.
2) If possible, temporarily move the station to a different network drop.
3) Monitor for repeat stalls.
4) If failures follow the hardware → flag device for replacement or reimage.
5) Document:
- Station ID/location
- Hardware model
- Frequency of stalls
Artifacts to Capture
- Station name/role
- Time of stall
- Whether restart always fixes it
- Network type (wired/Wi-Fi)
