Issue Details

I have connected my CMS device to the Network, when I test the connection from InsightCM web page, I receive the following error:

The device at XX.XX.XX.XX failed to connect to NI InsightCM Server at XX.XX.XX.XX on port 6343

To correct the server IP address and port, go to Options -> Server Settings -> Transceiver. If the address and port number are correct, ask a network administrator to ensure TCP communication between these addresses on port 6343 is allowed.

Error found in InsightCM when testing connection

How can I solve this issue?

Solution

The most common cause of this issue is that your firewall is blocking one of these ports:

Port Type Description Details

Not required if enabling connection to the web application via SSL.
482 TCP (inbound) HTTP Web Application Only required if enabling connection to the web application via SSL.
5353 UDP (inbound)     InsightCM Device Communication Used to find devices on the server's subnet. Only affects the functionality of the "Browse" button when adding devices.
5672 TCP (inbound) InsightCM Internal Service Communication Only necessary if using the SDK to communicate with the server form another device.
6343 TCP (inbound) InsightCM Device Web Service Retrieves device information relating to hardware, system health, and connection. Also, sends commands, such as reboot, to the device.
