How Can I Troubleshoot Wireless Network Problems?

If you are having trouble connecting to the VirtualBench device, try the following tips:

  • Disable your computer's firewall to make sure the firewall is not blocking the connection, or configure your firewall to allow the following ports to be used:
    • 5353 UDP for device discovery.
    • 9090 TCP for instrument control.
  • Disable any Virtual Machine network adapters such as VMWare. These adapters can route traffic incorrectly and cause the VirtualBench to not be discovered or used.
  • Verify that the antenna is connected.
