Check the Ethernet cable connections on the CMS/MMS/EMSA-9068, host computer,
and router.
•
If you have network firewalls or other security software enabled, try temporarily turning
them off. You might also need to add an exception for NI InsightCM Application by
completing the following steps:
1. Navigate to the standard Microsoft Windows Control Panel utility for managing
firewall settings.

.
3. Click
Allow another program
.
4. Select
NI InsightCM

Add
.
5. Click
OK
and close the firewall settings.
•
Ensure that the ports are open to communication on the host computer. If you are using an
intelligent switch on the network, ensure that the switch is not disabling these ports. Refer
to the
NI InsightCM Readme
for more information about host
computer ports.
•
If you have multiple network cards on the host computer, ensure that you use the
Windows Control Panel to disable all other network adapters, such as wireless adapters.
Turning off the wireless antenna is insufficient.
Resetting the Network Configuration of the Controller

NI InsightCM Application kit, if available.
2. Remove the USB drive when the USER1 LED returns to blinking steadily.
3. Insert the USB drive into a USB port on a computer.
4. Browse the file structure of the drive to the

followed by the
device hostname, such as
