Troubleshooting

  1. Have you checked the manual for information
  2. Check the machines in question have the latest version possible installed and are running the same version
  3. If on latest version check for network connectivity, including internet if off site
  4. Are the machines able to see each other? ie. pinging the machines if available, or through Windows Network Connections
  5. Are both machines visible on the gateway?
  6. If the above are all correct, try a reinstallation as the software installs drivers
  7. If all of the above are correct and the software is still not working, please submit a ticket with screenshots and the support tool
