Answer
The simulation function utilizes the standard TCP/IP communication provided by Microsoft Corporation.
A communication capability of software of another maker may have been affecting the standard TCP/IP communication
thus preventing the simulation function from working.
As a remedy, update the software of another maker to the latest version or just uninstall it.
The pieces of software having such an effect, which we have discovered so far, are listed below.
For more details, refer to the technical bulletin "FA-A-0076".
