Troubleshooting

Connectivity issues

  • Check the Subnet Configuration Ensure that your device’s IP address is within the same subnet as your network connection. A basic understanding of subnetting is necessary for establishing a connection.

    • Check for IP Address collisions

    • Avoid using the overlapping subnets on multiple network interfaces

  • Connecting to Multiple Devices Using an Ethernet switch is the easiest way to connect multiple devices. This setup allows you to manage all devices through a single network connection from your computer. While it is possible to use multiple network adapters, an Ethernet switch simplifies the process, particularly for those less experienced with networking.

  • Check your firewall

    Firewall rules can filter out incoming data from devices and prevent outgoing device discovery requests from SonarView.

  • Check your router/switch settings

    Network switches often use Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to map the routes within a network, and if a device has a self-assigned IP address, it can make that device undiscoverable.

  • Microsoft Windows:

    • Make sure the network is configured as 'Private'. Sometimes Device Discovery is unable to receive the necessary packets when a network is set up as 'Public' in Windows.

Wireless network / internet disconnects after connecting to Ethernet

  • Some laptops will attempt to reduce power consumption by disabling wireless network interfaces when a connection is made on a wired interface. Sometimes this is handled in the BIOS, sometimes it is a setting on the network interface, and sometimes it is an OS setting. Because each manufacturer and OS handles this differently, there is not a universal solution.

    • HP and Dell both have BIOS settings for this.

    • For other Windows machines, try .

    • Check your network interface's properties for power related settings

General System Troubleshooting

  • SonarView requires WebGL 2. Ensure that your computer can support WebGL 2.
