SRI Troubleshooting Tips Q: Some of my students receive error messages while they take the test. What does it mean when my students receive the following error codes: !50, !53, c 41, or L 4? A: These errors normally occur due to interruptions in the network connection or increased network traffic. If your students receive these error messages, they should simply try to do their work again. If these error messages persist, please contact your network administrator to investigate any potential network problems.

SRI Troubleshooting Tips Q: In Enterprise Edition, why does my student receive a message that they are already logged in on another computer when they are not? A: If the student application is abnormally terminated, the student’s server login may have to time out before they can log back in. Please be sure that students are not exiting the program by force-quitting or using ctrl-alt-del. This error message will normally disappear after a few minutes.

Troubleshooting for SRC! Q: Why does SAM time out when I’m trying to save a quiz that I’ve created in the Teacher Made Quiz tool? A: This happens because as each question and answer set is created in the Teacher Made Quiz tool, data is being cached, or hidden, before it is saved to the database. Therefore, SAM may time out if no data has been written to the server in the past 20 minutes. It is recommended that you save data as you work by clicking the Save button after entering each question and answer set. his will maintain a connection to the server.
