RT Get Target Information (IP)

	target address specifies the IP address or DNS name of the target.
	timeout in ms specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for a target to respond. The default is 4000 milliseconds.
	error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	target information returns detailed information about an RT target. IP settings returns the following information about the network settings configured on the target. IP address is the IP address of the networked device. DNS name is the network DNS name of the target. subnet mask is the bit mask used to identify the subnet in which the target resides on the network. gateway is the network gateway used by the target. DNS server is the domain name server used by the target. MAC address returns the MAC address of the target. serial number returns the serial number of the target. system state returns the system state of the target. Refer to the System States topic in the MAX Remote Systems Help for information about each system state. model name returns the model name of the target. model code returns the model code of the target. Use the model code of an RT target to ensure disk image compatibility when using the RT Apply Target Disk Image VI. password-protected restarts? indicates whether a password is required to restart the target. halt if TCP/IP fails? indicates whether the target is configured to halt if TCP/IP communication fails. locked? indicates whether the target is locked. use DHCP? indicates whether the target is configured to use a DHCP server to obtain network settings automatically.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

RT Get Target Information (MAC)

	MAC address is the MAC address of the networked device. This input must be in hexadecimal format without : delimiters. Use the RT Get Target Information VI to obtain the MAC address of an RT target programmatically.
	timeout in ms specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for a target to respond. The default is 4000 milliseconds.
	error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

Use the model code of an RT target to ensure disk image compatibility when using the RT Apply Target Disk Image VI. password-protected restarts? indicates whether a password is required to restart the target. halt if TCP/IP fails? indicates whether the target is configured to halt if TCP/IP communication fails. locked? indicates whether the target is locked. use DHCP? indicates whether the target is configured to use a DHCP server to obtain network settings automatically.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

RT Get Target Information (All)

	timeout in ms specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for a target to respond. The default is 4000 milliseconds.
	error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	target information returns an array of target information clusters for all the RT targets on the network. Each element of the array includes detailed information about a specific RT target.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

RT Get Target Information Details

Use the RT Get Target Information (IP) instance to specify the IP address or DNS name of a specific RT target. Use the RT Get Target Information (MAC) instance to specify the MAC address of a specific RT target. Use the RT Get Target Information (All) instance to return information about all the RT targets on the local subnet.
