The entire content of my Line005.log file is as follows:

> An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

It means, that the device closes the connection.
May be the specified Read Community (password) is incorrect. Could you check it?

Also check firewall settings.

Duh!!!

I had assumed that as the SNMP portion (comm channel) of Rapid Scada was installed by default, that the “answering“-side (the Windows SNMP service itself)was already similarly both installed and configured.

…and we all know what is generally said about assuming :>)

Thanks once again Mikhail. Your reply immediately lead me in the right direction to solve this Communicator Module SNMP Channel Error issue.

It turns out that I

DID NOT

even have the SNMP services installed and running on the Windows 10 Professional host machine which is actually running the Rapid Scada platform.

I therefore installed this Windows Feature and then created the required public Community Name and READ_ONLY rights>READ_ONLY rights.

..then after restarting the Communicator Module/Service, all was “well again under the sun”.

…greatly appreciate your help.

I am glad that it works now 🙂
