Connection MongoDB

Hi Everyone, I need help connecting a MongoDB.

For this I first tried to create an ODBC connection via an admin account. In ODBC via System-DSN (when creating the connection) first the page freezes and when closing it I get the error: "[MongoDB][ODBC 1.4(a) Driver] Lost connection to MySQL server at reading initial communication packet, system error 0".
When I try to create a connection via User-DSN and then connect in PowerBI I get the following error: "Lost connection to MySQL server at waiting for initial communication packet, system error 10060".

Can somebody help solving these connection issue or has similiar problems?

I followed the steps on those pages:

MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver — MongoDB Connector for BI

Create a System DSN — MongoDB Connector for BI
