ISM-7412E controlled over ethernet to laptop

Just purchased an ISM-7412E stepper and hoping to control it via Labview with softmotion module. I downloaded the config software and did a self test and it responds.

 

I tried running some example VIs that communicate with the stepper. Problem is they don't see the stepper and select resource is blank. Went into NI-MAX and searched for it, can't find it. Tried manually adding as a TCP/IP VISA and it says no response. Maybe I'm missing a driver? I'm definitely missing something. Thanks for any help.

 

EDIT: I ran a port scan utility against the stepper IP address and the only port open was 502 so I connected to that port in NI MAX and it got a reponse. It still doesn't show up as a resource when running Labview VI though....

I had a Modbus device on port 502 I had to add manually to NI-Max using this type of string "TCPIP0::192.168.111.222::502::SOCKET". There was also a "*" I added to VISA access security setup. After that it showed up as a VISA resource.
