System Management entity is not operational

[Genesiss]

Hi,

- NI AT-FBUS Interfacecard

- Windows XP

- NI-Fieldbus 3.1

Installation of the hardware and the software o.k. so far. No Interruptconflict.

I have connect my Fieldbusdevice to my system. When I Expand All with the NI-FBUS Dialog Utility 3.1 I get the following Error:

Error: System Management entity is not operational.

Does anybody has an Idear what does that mean and how I can solve (fix) this problem?

Thank you very much,

Genesiss

Does your system have any existing FF interface module before you connect to AT-FBUS?

If so, there might be some conflicts between AT-FBUS and the interface module.  In that case, please close NI-FBUS Communications Manager, and run the Interface Configuration Uitility, check the settings of your interface port,  specially check the Device Address (Fixed) and Device Type; the suggested values could be "0x1A" and "Basic Device". Then click "OK" and close the Interface Configuration Utility, and try to connect to your system and run NI-FBUS Communications Manager again, see whether it helps.
