3.One or more SDS were found, but one or more failed to respond to a ping.
SDS instruments were found on the network, but one or more did not respond to a ping. For each instrument that does not successfully respond to the ping, the user will be informed that there was a problem testing the communications and the software will give the IP address of the SDS instrument(s) that failed to respond as well as the IP address of the SDS instrument(s) that did respond successfully to the ping (figure 2.49). The most common cause is different subnets between the SDS and the computer (figure 2.50). The user may need to change the IP address of the SDS through menu option 26, Set IP Address. Click the “Close” button to close the form.

If the user is attempting to communicate with the SDS directly using a laptop that also has a wireless network on it, the wireless network could interfere with some of the SDS Reporter functions. The UDP error could happen if the user tried to ping a datalogger while a wireless network was enabled (figure 2.50a). Any wireless network should be disabled before running the SDS Reporter software.
