Description

Having trouble discovering your networked real-time target through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)? Networked device discovery is a complicated procedure that can be affected by several variables including (but not limited to):

• Software Compatibility - Is your target (hardware) compatible with the software on your computer?
• Firewall Configuration - Is your Windows or third-party firewall blocking the network ports used for discovery?
• Cabling / Port Usage - Are you using an incorrect type of cable or the incorrect network port on your target?
• IP Addressing - Is the IP address used by your target in conflict with the IP addressing scheme of your computer?
• Subnetting - Is the target located on the same subnet as your computer?

This wizard will intelligently guide you through a set of troubleshooting steps specifically designed for your target.
