TroubleshootingGalileo 616 Connections
Compass communicates with Galileo 616 units using TCP/IP ports 15001 and 15002. If you
haveenabled a firewall or other access-restriction software on your workstation, or are connected
to the network using a routeror 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 restrictedto the primary Ether net
port.If connections are made through alternate ports, connections must be configured manually.
The workstation operating system may also need to be manually configuredto enable the
alternate Ethernet port.
Ifconnecting directly to a Galileo 616 unit, your workstation may require the use of a crossover
Ethernet cable.
