Hello there,
I am new to this forum and I have made an account in hopes of resolving problems that I am experiencing.

I have a problem with my new TI nspire CX calculator. I can't seem to get it detected on the TI Nspire Student software that was given to me on the CD. That didn't work, so I installed the newest version of the software 3.1. Still no fix.

I am using Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate as the operating system.

This is what I see in the connected handhelds window:


After a couple of clicking on the connected handhelds window I got this sort of message:


Then I ran the diagnostics tool that came with the software. This is what my results were:


Right at the beginning of the diagnostics test I got this message:



The calculator is detected in the device manager. It charges the calculator and the calculator itself is working. Here is a picture of the device manager:


In the attachment I have the diagnostics file from the diagnose tool.

Do you have any idea what could be going on? I am thinking this is a software issue but I am not sure. I hope there is a way to fix this. I like the calculator so far and I have read about the connections with the student software and all the features.

Thanks in advance

Alexander Tham

Sorry, I was going to post yesterday, but I didn't want to raise your hopes. I personally don't know how to fix this, but I am here. It does seem more like an issue on the computer end, though, as opposed to the calc or the cord. It could just be conflicting drivers, but then again, I don't even know what that means nor do I understand the finer points of computer hardware, programming, and technology :P

Sorry :/

So it is not the calculator. But this problem happens on both my laptop and PC.

And the message port 5093 failed to open. What does that mean? I am thinking that this might be the problem

It is most likely a computer issue. Looks like port 5093 has to do with internet protocols.

Do you have a firewall running by chance? I would open the port in your network settings and that should solve your problem.

I don't have an Nspire so I'm not sure exactly what your running into. I'll keep digging around.

I've no clue how exactly, but after playing around with stuff on my computer I got to this:
Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools

After that, I clicked on "Windows Firewall" and saw stuff about ports. I didn't try it, but I am pretty sure you can disable certain ports and whatnot from there.

Do you have a router? A lot of times you can open a port right through that.
Otherwise I think you can do it on your computer in the control panel.
Are you using Windows? (what OS if you are)
I think where ThunderBolt directed you is the correct place.
Once there you can give a name (something to help you remember the port)
Enter the port number
Select udp port I think

I did that, in control panel of Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate and also in the router. It doesn't seem to work.

No problem

Still it shows port 5093 isn't open. I have heard that I have to configure something in the BIOS to make the port work. Any one know anything about this?

hmm...after doing some digging it looks like we are on the right track but it still wont grab huh.

Here is some stuff I found out about the Student Software and the port 5093
Check under the Concurrent Server section:
https://tieducation.subscribenet.com/control/txni/general_content?partnerContentId=help.faq

I would read some of that, might have some helpful stuff for you

I sent the calculator to an IT specialist. He will have a look at it during the weekend. I will post the results here after.
