Troubleshooting Galileo 616 Connections
Compass communicates with Galileo 616 units using TCP/IP ports 15001 and 15002. If you
have enabled a firewall or other access-restriction software on your workstation, or are connected
to the network using a router or switch, you may need to configure their security settings to
permit use of these ports. In addition, permitting access to port 8000 on the Galileo 616 units
will allow web access to the Galileo log files.
Compass auto-detection of connected Galileo 616 units is restricted to the primary Ethernet
port. If connections are made through alternate ports, connections must be configured manually.
The workstation operating system may also need to be manually configured to enable the
alternate Ethernet port.
If connecting directly to a Galileo 616 unit, your workstation may require the use of a crossover
Ethernet cable.
