Setting Access Permissions for Remote FPGA Targets (FPGA Module)
If you cannot verify communication with a remote system in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) or if you receive an error message when attempting to add the remote FPGA target to the Project Explorer window in LabVIEW, you might need to set access permissions for the remote system. FPGA target functionality varies depending on the specific target. Refer to the specific FPGA target hardware documentation for information about remote access options available for the target.
Complete the following steps to allow computers to access the remote FPGA target.
- Make sure the remote FPGA target appears in MAX. If you cannot locate the remote system and FPGA target in MAX, refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help by selecting Help»MAX Help in MAX for information about recognizing remote systems in MAX.
- If the NI-VISA Server is running on an RT target, select the RT target under the Remote Systems category in MAX. If the NI-VISA Server is running on a Windows computer, open MAX on that computer.
- For RT targets, open the VISA Options page by clicking the Remote Systems»Remote System Name»Software»NI-VISA x.x category, where Remote System Name is the name or IP address of the remote system and x.x is the version of NI-VISA you have installed, then click the VISA Options tab. For Windows computers, open the VISA Options page by selecting Tools»NI-VISA»VISA Options.
- On the VISA Options page, select VISA Server»Security to view the Remote Access List.
- Click the Add button and enter the name or IP address of the computer to add a computer to the Remote Access List. You can use the * wildcard to specify a group of computers or all computers on the network. In general, use the * wildcard to set up general allowances or denials and follow those entries with more specific entries.
- Select a Permission option to either allow access to the remote system or deny access to the remote system.
- Click the Save button to set the access permissions.
