Solution B: Disable Unused Interfaces

If you are not using some of the IP interfaces, you may want to disable them.

Disabling interfaces will remove them from the list, thus allowing the desired

interface to have the lowest metric and the asterisk (*). Notice that disabling an

interface may affect other applications using that interface, and should only be done

if you know that the interface does not need to be used for the time that it is

disabled.

To disable an interface:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK. This will open the Network

Connections control panel.

3. Right-click the network adapter that you want to disable, and click Disable.

2. I can't connect to my RMC75E or RMC150E through the Internet or a VPN.

Solution:
If your PC has a firewall, make sure it allows connections to port 44818. If the RMC is

behind a firewall, make sure the firewall forwards port 44818 to the RMC’s IP address.

3. The Link LED is off or is not blinking when you expect activity.

Solution:
See the Ethernet Link topic for troubleshooting procedures for the Link LED.
