XNET CAN stops upon errors. (PXI-8512 using RT VeriStand)

Question

Hello, I am using the PXI-8512/2 in an electrically noisy environment so I often get errors on the CAN bus. I notice that often the 8512 stops communicating as a result. In my dual port 8512/2, LED #4 which normally blinks ends up turning off. However, I do have other devices listening on the same bus; they report errors but continue to stay alive. Is there anyway I can have the 8512 continue working in the presence of errors? I'm using the XNET custom device for VeriStand 2009 and don't see any error handling options. In fact, I don't get any notification of errors at all. I just notice that my incoming CAN signals stop and my outgoing ones have no effect. Thanks.

Howdy All,
This is a duplicat post. Since the question has to do with the NI XNET Custom Device for VeriStand we will answer on the other thread, please do not reply to this thread.
