Ports used by Compact Fieldpoint 2120?

I have a Compact Fieldpoint 2120 behind a Linksys WRT54G router.  What ports do I need to forward for MAX and Labview to see the router?

I have 20-21, 80, and 44525 forwarded to the Fieldpoint for both TCP and UDP.  The ports listed HERE don't look applicable.

Hi Gizmaa,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  From the information you have provided here, it looks like you are unable to see your router and Fieldpoint in MAX.  If this is the case, you should not be seeing your router in MAX, but I can suggest some things to look into to hopefully see your cFP-2120. 

From the article that you linked, the port that is listed within the Lookout/Logos Communication document is what is used for communication between the cFP device and the host PC.  If you are enabling access to ports for NI hardware and software this might be something to consider.  Aanother suggestion when not being able to locate your device in MAX, is to ensure that your anti-virus software or firewall configuration is not blocking the connection.  I would ensure that this is not the case by temporarily disabling these programs and attempting to locate your hardware.  If this is the case, you can then add the National Instruments software you are using as exceptions to both the anti-virus software and firewall.

I hope this helps!  Let me know if there is anything else I can help with or clarify.  Have a great day!
