Bitporter Connection Errors
General Connection Errors:
Below is a listing of possible error messages that can occur during pod setup or pod operation:
“Attempting to auto-detect Bitporter pods (USB pods and Ethernet pods on
this subnet)... found 0 pods.”
The auto‐detection capability of acx_stapl_player is only able to find Ethernet pods which are
on the host PC’s local subnet, and USB pods which are available (not presently in use). During
the operation of acx_stapl_player, if no pods are specified with the ‐p option, and no pods are
connected locally (plugged into the USB ports of the host PC, or on the same Ethernet subnet
as the host PC), or if all USB‐connected pods are busy, the following error message sequence is
displayed:

********************************************
Attempting to auto-detect Bitporter pods (USB pods and Ethernet pods on
this subnet)...
...found 0 pods.
INFO: No pods found during auto-detection phase. (Auto-detection can only
find Ethernet-connected pods on the local subnet, and USB-connected pods
which are not currently in use.)
INFO: Please verify that your Bitporter cables are plugged in properly. If
you are using Ethernet, please ensure that the power supply is plugged in to
the Bitporter pod. If you are using a USB connection, do not connect the
power supply to the Bitporter pod. For more information, please see the
Chapter "Connecting the Bitporter Pod" in the ACE Programming Guide (UG004).
Ensure that the Bitporter Pod is properly connected and is not busy with another process.
“PROGRAM ERROR: Bitporter driver library not found - unable to program
device.”
If during the operation of acx_stapl_player, the following error message sequence is displayed:
PROGRAM ERROR: Bitporter driver library not found - unable to program
device.
PROGRAM ERROR: Exiting with error code: -10
First verify that the host machine is running a supported operating system, and if on a 64‐bit
Linux, ensure the 32‐bit compatibility libraries are installed.
If the host system is running a supported operating system, ensure the libjnetserver.so
file is in the same directory as the acx_stapl_player executable.
