BitAxe not connecting to Datum

Hello,

I set my BixAxe to my server IP and the Datum port 23334 and the bitaxe is not appearing in the Datum Client list. the Bitaxe fails to connect and goes to solo.ckpool.org.
I verified that the bitaxe and my mini pc server are both on the same local network. I can see both devices in my router web settings interface.

Anyone know why I am having this issue?

Thank you
