This article outlines issues you might be experiencing that are caused by network errors, root causes of network issues, as well as potential solutions to these problems.

Problem

  • When I try logging in to the CloudFon CX agent console to chat with my visitors, I receive a Network Error message.

    Image Added

  • I am getting an error message saying We are not able to connect to the server when trying to log in to my agent console.

  • When I send a message, there is a delay before it shows on the visitor side. Also, visitor responses are not showing up instantly.

  • When logged into the agent console, I see the message: Internet connection is unstable or unavailable. Please check your Internet connection.

Note

Internet connection is unstable or unavailable. Please check your Internet connection.

Cause

All the above-mentioned errors are related to your network connection or CloudFon’s CX’s servers. Here are the potential causes of these issues:

  • Network error: Network error is caused by network connection-related issues. It occurs when your connection to CloudFon’s CX’s chat server fails.

  • Inactive server: Caused when you have failed to get a response from CloudFon’s CX’s chat server.

  • Latency: This could happen when your connection is slow or unstable.

  • Unexpected error: You might see this error if the network you are connected to is unstable.

Solution

  • Check if your internet connection is working. Check the VPN or proxy network if you are connected to any. If no connection failure is detected, close the Chat Console sign-in page and try logging in again.

  • Try from another network (LAN/WLAN/VPN/Mobile network).

If the above solutions do not work, further troubleshooting is required. Contact us with the following diagnosis.

1. MTR:

You will have to test the connection between you and the CloudFon CX CloudFon- CX server you are trying to connect to. You can download the software program WinMTR which is a Windows application combining the functionality of traceroute and ping utilities in a single network diagnostic tool.
Perform the following steps to collect the data CloudFon CX needs to diagnose the issue:

  1. Click here to download the testing tool.

  2. Enter the domain in Host and then click Start. If your CloudFonCX-CX is deployed on your own server, please enter your domain name instead. For example, if your CloudFonCX-CX server address is http://CX.yourcompany.com, please enter this address in the Host.

  3. Wait about 5 minutes, then click Stop.

  4. Click Copy Text to clipboard and then send back the data to us.

2. HAR data:

  1. Open the Developer tool by pressing F12 if you are on the browser. For desktop, press Shift + Ctrl + I.

  2. Click the Network tab.

  3. Select Preserve log.
    Make sure the circle at the top-left of the Network tab is red.

  4. Refresh the page and reproduce the problem.

  5. After you have successfully reproduced the issue, right-click on any row of the network activity panel and select Save as HAR with Content.

  6. Send the file to us.
