  Cheryl RhodesAug 25, 2025
  If your Bosch Network Hardware has no connection and isn't transmitting images, several factors could be at play. Begin by verifying all configuration parameters and ensuring all cables, plugs, contacts, and connections are properly installed. Check the IP addresses using a terminal program and assess data transmission within the LAN using the ping command. Also, consider that the maximum number of connections might have been reached; in this case, wait for a free connection and try the transmitter again.
