3. If clicking on a "Bad comms" warning button does not fix the problem, the SiTech software will need to be stopped and restarted. It is vital that all the SiTech GUIs are closed, and that they are reopened in the correct order, so follow [[#Starting SiTech software| this procedure.]]
4. The most common issue is '''loss of dome comms'''. There is a watchdog on the dome that causes it to close after five minutes of bad comms - the The symptom will be that the dome won't move to a new target, or that it has closed without warning (the telescope will not park, mirror covers will not close: that suggests those actions suggest an LCU shutdown). A red warning button will appear labelled "Bad Dome Comms" in the Dome GUI - clicking it should solve the problem. If that fixes the problemit does, go to the browser TCS Advanced tab, and in the central panel click "TAKE CONTROL", then turn dome "Tracking" ONand OPEN if the dome had closed without good reason in the middle of observing. If comms are not restoredthis way, then press Shutdown on the browser TCS and follow the full instructions on [[#Starting SiTech software| starting SiTech software]] to restart. Then reload the browser TCS and run the telescope startup procedure.
