If this issue occurs, please try the following solutions:

* Make sure your desktop and smartphone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
* On iOS, check if local network access is allowed for the PRISM Mobile app.
* Ensure that your Windows username and installation path do not contain special characters or excessively long folder names.

If you don't have the above cases, you need to check your PRISM Lens firewall settings as described below.
