Potential
Network
Topology
Communication
Problems
Networks
separated
by
physical
routers
will
often
block
UDP
broadcasts
preventing
WinDiscovery
from
locating
devices
on
a
remote
network.
Under
such
circumstances,
WinDiscovery
must
be
operated
from
a
computer
within
the
remote
network.
Or
the
routers
separating
the
networks
must
be
configured
to
pass
bidirectional
UDP
traffic
(including
broadcasts)
on
port
6163
.
Consult
your
network
administrator
for
additional
information.
Personal
or
network
computer
firewall
applications,
or
the
Windows
OS
firewall
may
also
prevent
WinDiscovery
from
operating
correctly.
Configure
the
firewall
to
allow
bidirectional
UDP
traffic
on
port
6163
or
temporarily
disable
the
firewall
while
using
WinDiscovery.
Troubleshooting
Tips
All
GMR
units
are
fully
checked
and
system
tested
at
the
factory
for
proper
operation
before
shipment.
Unless
physical
damage
is
found,
the
unit
is
probably
functional.
The
following
problems
can
probably
be
readily
solved
by
the
customer/user.
Software
Tip:
WinDiscovery
uses
bi
‐
directional
UDP
messaging
on
port
6163
for
both
the
discovery
process
and
to
communicate
configuration.
It
also
sends
status
packets
to
and
from
all
Masterclock
network
devices
on
this
port.
Delivery
of
UDP
messages
(packets)
is
NOT
guaranteed.
Intermittent
problems
with
WinDiscovery?
Try
closing
the
current
session
and
restarting
the
application.
If
this
does
not
resolve
the
issue,
try
some
of
the
trouble
shooting
tips
listed
here.
If
this
fails,
switch
to
an
alternate
method
of
configuration,
such
as
SSH
or
Telnet.
A
”soft”
restart
may
be
performed
once
per
hour
by
the
GMR
to
automatically
if
the
GMR
is
set
to
use
DHCP
and
cannot
find
it.
You
will
recognize
a
soft
restart
when
the
GMR
green
PWR
LED
begins
to
blink
twice
per
second
for
a
short
time.
You
may
even
hear
a
quiet
relay
click.
PROBLEM:
Unable
to
find
(discover)
the
new
GMR
in
WinDiscovery.
POSSIBLE
REASONS/SOLUTIONS:
1.
Verify
that
you
have
supplied
power
to
the
GMR.
2.
Verify
that
all
the
network
cables,
hubs,
etc.
are
in
proper
working
order.
3.
Be
sure
that
no
Ethernet
crossover
cables
are
being
used
where
inappropriate.
4.
After
clicking
the
Discover
button,
wait
until
the
status
indicates
100%
completion.
5.
Verify
that
the
GMR
is
a
Masterclock
brand
device.
WinDiscovery
is
not
designed
to
work
with
products
from
other
vendors.
6.
Verify
that
the
GMR
is
on
the
same
physical
network
as
the
computer
from
which
you
are
running
WinDiscovery.
7.
If
the
computer
is
separated
from
the
GMR
by
a
router
(on
a
remote
network)
or
a
firewall
it
is
likely
that
the
router/firewall
is
blocking
communication
with
the
device.
Run
WinDiscovery
from
a
computer
within
the
remote
network,
or
ask
a
network
system
administrator
to
configure
the
router/firewall
in
question
to
pass
through
(in
both
directions)
UDP
broadcasts
on
port
6163.
If
this
does
not
resolve
the
detection
problems
you
may
additionally
configure
to
pass
through
both
directions
UDP
broadcasts
on
ports
6165
,
6166
,
and
6264
.
