Phidgets Forums

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has ever run into the issue of not being able to disable a Phidget server. I have gone into the web application and disabled it there but when I try to host a Phidget server on my computer and try to get my SBC4 connected to the server, it doesn't want to connect to it. When we run the following command on the SBC4 terminal: phidget22admin -s
to get a list of all Phidget Servers on the network we get an output of 2 Phidget servers being run by the SBC4 as seen in the image attached. The server being hosted by the computer was turned off. I believe this issue is not allowing the SBC4 to connect to the Phidget server being hosted by my computer.

Thanks

Hi,

Those lines listed by phidget22admin are not for the phidget network server running on the SBC, but an entry for the SBC itself - this service is published by the SBC and used to show it in the list of network Phidgets in the control panel on windows (whether the network server is running or not).

A program running on the SBC should have no trouble connecting to a server on your PC. Make sure to include the proper network code to add the server or enable discovery (code sample generator is good for this), and make sure you have configured any firewall on your PC to allow the connection.
