The ping function, the ICMP echo request, is disabled by default in the Windows 10 installation of ibaM-DAQ. If you need the ping function and your company's security policy allows it, you can enable it as follows.

1. Open Windows Defender Firewall (e.g. via settings and searching for "firewall").

   
   

   

   
   

2. Select the advanced settings.

   
   

   

   
   

3. First select the inbound rules and select from the list of inbound rules according to these two rules:

   • ICMP Allow incoming V4 echo request

   • ICMP Allow incoming V6 echo request

   
   

   

   
   

4. Select both rules and activate them together via the "Enable rule" menu item.

5. Afterwards, both rules are marked as enabled in the list via the green checkmark and ibaM-DAQ can now be found in the network via a ping command or the ICMP echo request.
