Trouble-shooting and hints:

 

1.       If you are running on a LAN make sure that the Capscan Pool Manager is running correctly.  To do this you can use the PoolMan Admin application that is installed along with the Capscan Pool Manager.

 

2.       If you are using a firewall make sure that it is not blocking this example or the Capscan Pool Manager.  By default the Capscan Client/Server uses port 27920 for sending and receiving data.

 

3.       Try installing and running the Matchcode DC application to test that the Capscan Pool Manger is working correctly.  The installation for Matchcode DC can be found on the CD under:

 

Api\mcd_cs\win32\client\dc.
