Issue
I/NET Seven is unable to connect to a Xenta 527 on Windows 7 Pro based computer. I/NET Configuration can not see any online NPR devices but a direct serial connection connects normally to the 527.
Environment
- I/NET Seven rev 2.4X and above
- Windows 7 Pro (32-bit)
- Xenta 527
Cause
Even though the Windows firewall was turned off, some ports were blocked by default. I/NET communicates on Port 50069.
Resolution
- Go into Windows Firewall through Control Panel
- Select Advanced Security
-
Select Inbound Rules
There may be multiple instances of I/NET Seven I/O Server entries for \Inet seven\inetiosrv.exe.
Likely four instances, two public UDP and TCP and two for Private UDP and TCP.
Public and Private profiles need to set for "Allow." - Double click any I/NET Seven I/O Server instances that are not enabled, then change the Action to "Allow the Connection"
- Select OK or Apply
