These messages usually mean that Core is having trouble connecting to OCM (OPSWAT Central Management). It may be caused by:
- Network timeout or proxy issues
- Port 9000/tcp being blocked
- Restrictions in your firewall or proxy
Solution
Please check the following:
- Proxy or Network Settings Make sure your network allows Core to connect to the OCM server. If you're using a proxy, verify that it allows traffic to the OCM address on port 9000/tcp.
- Firewall Rules Ensure port 9000/tcp is open between Core and OCM. This is required for downloading updates and descriptors.
- More Info on Ports For a full list of ports used by OCM, see the documentation here: Recommended System Requirements - OPSWAT Central Management v7 - Legacy.
