I am using Simulink Real-Time (SLRT) with a Speedgoat target computer. I need to configure the Windows Defender Firewall on my host PC to allow communication with the target. I have followed the steps provided in this link:

The Ethernet interface on my host PC, which is used for the host-target link, is configured as ‘Public’ according to the Windows Network and Sharing Center:

This means that any changes or rules I apply to the Windows Defender Firewall should be specific to ‘Public’ networks in order to take effect on the host-target link. However, due to my organization’s IT policies, the options for ‘Public’ networks are grayed out when I try to allow MATLAB through the Windows Defender Firewall.

Consequently, I can perform a Speedgoat software update successfully, but I am unable to establish an actual connection to the target using MATLAB R2020b or later. I errors such as the following:

Cannot connect to target ‘TargetPC1’: Cannot connect to target.
or

Unable to connect to target computer ‘TargetPC1’: Unable to connect to target computer.I am using Simulink Real-Time (SLRT) with a Speedgoat target computer.
