Running Mac OS 10.14.5 Mojave and Nexis Client Manager 19.6.0.7. Unable to connect to the server, although I am able to ping it using Terminal. Am able to connect from another MacPro with the same settings under High Sierra (10.13).
This Mojave system is Apple's "Trashcan" Mac. Would any of this prevent the connection?
It sounds like the NEXIS client driver didn't load. See this post: http://community.avid.com/forums/p/197295/883404.aspx#883404

Thanks for the reply. The linked article says to click on Security > General to allow. I'm assuming this is talking about the installer? The installer had completed. The errors appear in the Nexis logs.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no benefits.
If this is the first time you've installed the NEXIS client you'll receive the request to allow the extension. I believe you have 20 mins to accept, after that the OS will block it. Selecting accept must be done on the actual system, it won't work with remote desktop.
User-Approved Kernel Extension Loading
Run the NEXIS client uninstaller, restart and install it again.
Some other suggestions is to add the IP and/or DNS of the system director into the remote hosts even if you're on the same subnet. I've added a random IP address at times to get the client to see other system directors.

I had this problem today and discovered that Mac OS 10.14.5 does not connect when using Nexis Client Manager 2019.6.
I then checked the Nexis 2019.6 ReadMe and found this on page 15: 'As of macOS 10.14.5, Apple has instituted a new notarization requirement that makes it incompatible with some Avid NEXIS client versions.' It's followed by a table showing which versions of Client Manager will or won't work.
I then installed Nexis Client Manager 2019.4.0 and it does indeed work with macOS10.14.5.
