How to access/control an RT controller in a remote place

I've been using an RT controller (PXI-8108) directly connected to my PC via an Ethernet cable. Now it would be convenient if I can place the PXI in some distant place and monitor/control it without physically being there. The PXI is currently set up with a static IPv4 address. I use Windows Explorer to open the ftp server and manipulate data files on the PXI. To open the front panel of the main VI running on the PXI, I run a small VI containing an Invoke Method called Remote Panel: Open Connection to Server where the IP address, server port and the VI's name are input, on my PC connected to the PXI.
What I want to figure out is:
Would it be possible to retain the same full funtionality when I connect my PC and the PXI through the company network? If so, how can I make the connection work? I'd like to get some tips on network settings.
Also, what about, say, placing the PXI in a far-away foreign country and monitoring it at home? Is it viable?
Any tips/share of experience will be appreciated.

Hi there,
You can do this across any network, as long as you have access on that network.  I would recommend setting a static IP address for your Real-Time controller, as the poster above indicated.  It would probably be a good idea for you to set this up with your IT administrator, as he/she may have dedicated IP addresses for you.
Other things to watch out for, especially in a company office, are firewalls and anti-virus software on your computer, which may inhibit the ability to communicate with the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Talk to your IT department to make sure that you can be granted access to the network.  This also applies to foreign networks; it is possible to connect to your controller on any other network, but you will have to work with your IT department in order to obtain access remotely.  For example, you may need to set up VPN.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • How Can I Control a Windows PC from Apple Remote Desktop Please?

    Hello Everybody
    Please excuse my bad English.
    I would like to ask you, how could be possibile setup windows pc (XP or 7) to be controlled by a Mac with Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.2
    I think I have to use VNC, but how can i SETUP to connect XP or 7 to my Mac Apple Remote Desktop in the same LAN?
    Thanks a lot
    Giovanni

    You can use ARD to remote control a windows machines, ARD is built on VNC
    You'll have to install a VNC server on the windows machine you want to access
    You won't be able to use most of the ARD features as they are specific to mac
    You'll be be able to see and control the desktop and that's about it
    You can also find VNC /Remote Desktop apps in the iOS store that will allow remote desktop connection from iPad /iPhone,
    There is a mac version of Microsoft remote desktop in the Mac App Store

  • How do I control itunes volume with my Apple Remote?

    Hey,
    I have been using the Apple remote for a while now, but recently i have got a airplay device, for which the volume from the mac can be controlled only by the itunes volume slider and not the mac volume.
    can someone please guide as to how i can change the itunes volume with the remote?

    I don't know how to do it with the actual silver Apple Remote. However with the Remote app on you phone then the volume control is at the bottom just like normal. When you use the Airplay symbol to send the content to the airplay device say Apple TV you can use the volume slider to control the volume.

  • How to pass control from main controller to sub controller?

    Hi Experts,
    I have created one controller named "available.do" by which I am calling a view "available.htm". On that view I am showing one Button which says Check Availability. On clicking of this button it shows another view "list.htm". But it is showing new view and old view on same page.
    Second I want to add one button on second view "list.htm" which should perform some function. I don't know how I can achieve this functionality?
    Someone has suggested me that for this I have to create sub controller...but i don't know much about it as I am new in BSP.
    Kindly tell me and paste code so that I can solve my both problems.

    Hi,
    I guess you might have below coding in DO_INIT method,
    me->view_main = 'main.htm'.   "Where VIEW_MAIN is the attribute in you main controller of type STRING.
    you should have below coding in DO_REQUEST of main controller.
    DATA: main TYPE REF TO if_bsp_page.
      me->dispatch_input( ).
    *Create main view.
      main = create_view( view_name = me->view_main ).
    *Set desgin attribute.
      main->set_attribute( name = 'design' value = application->design ).
    *Call main page views.
      call_view( main ).
    *Activate  Sub -controller.
      controller_set_active( controller_id = 'sub_cntrl' active = lc_active ). 
      l_cntl_inst ?= get_controller( controller_id = lv_cntl_id ).  "DATA: l_cntl_inst TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_controller.
    *Call sub-controller.
      call_controller( l_cntl_inst ).
    Please check with this.

  • How to access ServletContext object of a webapp on remote server?

    Hi!
    I have a webapp, runs on tomcat, loads information from local db server, keeps them in servlet context, and publish these datas to web via jsp pages.
    I make run the same webapp on different location, different webserver and db server with different datas.
    Is it possible to link both ServletContext to each other, or access one from the another?
    What is the right solution, if I want to access all stored Objects of these independent webapplications, summarize and show them in one browser page, in one jsp?
    sorry for my poor english
    and thanks for any help,
    kind regards,
    henpanta

    It is not possible to access another servletcontext glueless using HTTP or any transfer protocol. Would be a potential security hole too. If you want to let communicate 2 webapps on different servers with each other, consider webservices.

  • AS3: How to access and control embedded sounds in an external swf?

    I rarely use sounds in AS3/Flash. I am using Flash Pro CS6, but I can't seem to figure out how to access, control (play, stop, etc) sounds embedded in an external SWF loaded into the main SWF.
    It's easy to control them when embedded on the main swf. However, on an externally loaded SWR, I get all kinds of errors. For this app, I really need to embed them in the external SWF.
    I read several solutions, but none seem to work.
    I embed the sound an mp3 file called soundSegment1.mp3 using Flash CS6 import tool and then open the actionscript properties panel on flash to select the class name: SoundSegment1. Then I edit the class code and create a file called SoundSegment1.as and it's saved right next to my document class main.as in the same directory. The code of the SoundSegment1 class looks like this:
    package  {
        import flash.media.*;
        public class SoundSegment1 extends Sound
            public function SoundSegment1 ()
                // no code in here
            public function playSound()
                var soundSegment1:Sound = new SoundSegment1();
                var channel:SoundChannel = soundSegment1.play();
    Then, in my main.as, I have done several attempts to play this sound such as:
    var fileLocation:URLRequest = new URLRequest(SWFToLoad); loader.load(fileLocation); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressListener); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initListener); 
    function initListener(e:Event):void // I also placed this code on the completeListener and it didn't work {      loader.content.soundSegment1.playSound(); // doesn't work.  }
    I get:
    Line XXX 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method playSound through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
    or, I also read that I should be able to do something like this anywhere in the Main.as file:
    var theClass:Class = Class(loader.content.getDefinitionByName("SoundSegment1")); var theSound:theClass = new theClass(); theSound.play()  //doesn't work either.
    I also tried on the completeListener:
    var TheClass:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("SoundSegment1") as Class; var theSound:TheClass = new TheClass();
    theSound.play()  //doesn't work either.
    I get:
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable SoundSegment1 is not defined. at flash.system::ApplicationDomain/getDefinition()
    I am stuck and I really need to get this to work. I would be genuinely grateful for your help.
    Thank you in advance for any help provided. I really need to get it to work, because I can't simply embed them in the main SWF or load them individually externally one by one.
    Thanks again!

    THANK YOU!
    I think your code may be over my head though. I think you are using an anonymous function which is not something I am familiar with (but I want to learn about if it's useful).
    I also don't know where the classS came from. I see that it's a parameter sent along with the event, but I don't really see where that came from.
    Someone at: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?305098-Playing-a-embedded-sound-in-an-external- swf&p=2658098#post2658098
    Is showing what seems to be an easier solution, but my problem there is I can't access the source file of the "child" swf....  ayayay.....
    I am going to tinker with your solution and see if it gets me anywhere. Thanks so much for your help again.

  • Can't access control center on iPhone while keyboard is displayed

    Anybody have a tip on how to access control center on iPhone while the keyboard is displayed?  Seems impossible cause when I swipe up from the bottom to access control center, it types instead. 

    UPDATE
    Saw other threads about Otterbox blocking the area to access the Control center. Sure enough removing it from the case and I can access the CC. But, I also found if you swipe up lightly and quickly the CC can be access with the case on. It takes some practice. But can be done.

  • How do I set up timed access control for a time past midnight

    I would like to set up timed access control for a number of my devices that would stretch past midnight...   An open network from 6AM to 2AM - effectively only blocking access from 2AM tp 6AM in the morning....
    Any notion on how to do this?  the timed factily does not like the setting to enable 6A to 2A, says the times are invalid. 
    Setting up timed access from 6AM to 11:59P, then doing another from 12A to 2A causes a service "hiccup" of 1 Minute.

    Set up each device as follows:
    Everyday........Between.......6:00 AM and 11:59 PM
    Add a second rule for each device that will state....
    Everyday.....Between.......12:00 AM and 2:00 AM
    You might think that there would be a one minute break between 11:59 PM and 12:00 AM, but that will not be the case, at least on every AirPort that I have ever programmed..  Reason.....11:59 is really 11:59:59:59 turning off at 12:00 AM.  But, you have a second rule to allow access at 12:00 AM, so the AirPort will be "on" at the same time the first rule ends, so there will be no break.
    If you really want the second rule to turn the AirPort "off" at 2:00 AM.......then set that time for 1:59 AM. If you set the rule for 2:00 AM, then AirPort will really turn off at 2:01 AM.

  • How to access custom property for attribute and control in .vm file?

    Hi,
    I have created custom properties in OPM for attribute and apply also that properties to attribute.
    But if how to access that value in .vm file?
    I accessed using
    $attribute.getProperty("ScreenProp", "default value")
    but it's not working but same is worked for screen custom property

    $control.getProperties().get("PropertyName") works for custom properties on a control
    If you output $control and $control.getProperties() to the html you can lookup the API for the used classes.
    I can't give an example of the html because it's stripped in this forum

  • How to access the Custom Data type variable given in Expression edit control To and From LabVIEW

    Hello, I would like to know how to access the custom data type variable given in the Espression Edit Control from LabVIEW and vice-versa
    Say, the FileGlobals.Reference_Handle (Custom Data Type Variable) contains the
    VISA I/O session (Which in turn contains VISA_DeviceName: String, Session: Number),
    Channel1: Number and
    Channel2: Number
    I am expecting the user to give FileGlobals.Reference_Handle as the input at the ExpressionEdit Control in the edit screen of the VI Call.
    I would like to know how to get the values of this custom data type to LabVIEW?
    Say, if I have the Cluster in LabVIEW like VISA I/O session (Deive Name and Session Number), Channel1 and Channel2
    how do i need to set this cluster to the Custom Data type variable in TestStand?
    Thanks and Regards
    Prakash 

    Hi,
    TestStand to LabVIEW: i didnt understand what you r trying to achieve. But if you are using references, Use Property nodes and Invoke nodes to achieve what you want in LabVIEW.
     LabVIEW to TestStand: check the image below: You need to click the button next to 'container'. I have used a cluster output in the VI.
    Hope this helps

  • How to add access control to a WebService in Weblogic

    Hello experts,
    I developed a Web Service and I deployed it on Weblogic: it reads a SOAP request and, according to the input, it performs some actions.
    Now we would need to implement an access control on it, we read some information in the documentation we find on google, but none of these was exhaustive: did anyone of you implemented already an access control policy?
    And how did you do?
    Thank you

    Hello Arunkumar,
    my JDev is 11.1.1.5.0.
    I checked the documentation, but it's not clear for me in which of those scenarios we are: we have an Oracle Service Bus that needs to contact an application, but we don't want to grant a direct access to it.
    So the bus is calling the web service that it's triggering the events on the application.
    Everything works fine, but we need now to put at least an access control method, in order to avoid that a simple call from SoapUI may triggers the operations on our Web Service.
