Selecting USB-ethernet or Ethernet Port

Hello,
I am running a Labview .vi suite on a laptop which has
1. Ethernet port connected to instrumentation via a DSL router 
2. USB-ethernet converter connected to our work network (for accessing internet and sending data).
For reasons regarding our work network I cannot simply connect the work network to the DSL router so require a second port on the laptop.
The labview program communicates with the instrumentation via the ethernet port of the laptop. The labview .vi then spurts out data which needs to be broadcast via the USB-ethernet connection of the laptop to our work ethernet network.
So the communication of ethernet port to instrumentation is isolated from the network.
The problem I am having is that when the .vi runs it cannot connect to the instrumentation via the ethernet port because the USB-ethernet port is connected. When I remove the USB-ethernet port it can connect to the instrumentation via the ethernet port but data cannot be broadcast on the network via the USB-ethernet port.
Is there any way selecting the ethernet port in the .vi as it is impractical to keep removing and replacing the USB-ethernet port at just the right time.
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
The first step is to get both ethernet devices recognised correctly, at the same time, in NI MAX. Once you can identify them seperately in MAX you should be able to call them from LabVIEW.
Try adding your USB ethernet device as a seperate device in MAX and see if this helps.
Best Regards,
Chris

  • USB Adapter to Ethernet disconnect

    I have Macbook Air and i use USB adapter to Ethernet and always get disconnected when sleep can anyone help me with that

    Have you considered something like an Apple Airport Express unit? As this has an in-built USB printer sharing port you can then have your printer connected to it which then connects to Ethernet. It'll also give you wireless if you don't already have it.

  • Gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports

    Hi,
         we are using Cisco WLAN controller 5508 which have 8 Gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports. Can any one tell me how to check the model number of the gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports.
    Regards,
    Noman

    Noman,
    I’m still a little confused, sorry. Are you looking for the model of the installed SFP transceiver module or the part number of the SFP port bank itself?
    Are you looking for this:
    Or this:
    If you want to know the transceiver module, you can look at the show port summary command. It will tell you what type of transceiver you have in there, although it won't list the exact make/model but you can figure it out. 1000BaseTX = GLC-T. 1000BaseSX = GLC-SX-MM. 1000BaseLX = GLC-LH-SM.
    If you want to know the part number for the SFP bus, ports or chips themselves, then I'm at a loss for you. I guess you can take the controller apart and do a visual inspection to see if you find anything useful. Are you trying to DIY repair a dead controller or something?

  • 10G Ethernet and FCoE ports - Whats the diff?

    Hi All,
    I know what FCoE is and all that stuff. My only confusion is when we say that Nexus 5K ports can be configured either as 10G Ethernet or FCoE ports, what that actually means? All Cisco video data sheets say this.
    I know Nexus 5K supports FCoE as a switch. But, why would they say the ports can be configured as FCoE? If a physical port supports Ethernet, then it must also support FCoE frames, right? After all, FCoE frames are Ethernet frames carring is just another payload type (FC, EthType = 8906). So, for Ethernet, FCOE frames are just like any other traffic. What is special about a port being said as FCOE enabled port?
    My own answer to is this. If the port is FCOE capable, it will look into the incoming frames and if Ethtype is 8906, it will forward to the FC part of the N5K. If any other EthType, forward it the LAN side of the N5K. Is this corret?
    Also, if an Ethernet Switch is DCB capable, that is, CEE, do we call this as FCoE Switch? This switch is not going to open the Ethernet frames.
    Looks like these definitions are not clear...
    Would appreciate any help in clarifying this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Mohan

    Hello Mohan,
    In the Nexus switch when you bind a virtual FC port to a physical port, the switch knows that port will now process FCoE frames.
    For the Nexus switch is pretty simple to identify a FCoE frame from another frame, just looking the Ethertype as you said.
    When a frame comes in the switch port, the asic checks the ethertype of the frame, if a 0x8914 (FIP) or 0x8906 (DATA) ethertype match, then this frame will be processed by the SAN built in switch.
    The DCB is the correct term, using by IEEE. The CEE as far I know is a IBM terminology that supposed have te same features of DCB. To be correct look for DCB capability and you will know that device can support FCoE.
    Lastly, be aware, just because the box is "DCB capable", it not means have FCoE implemented. The DCB is just a requirement to you run FCoE in your product.

  • Solving Prolific PL-2303 USB to Serial Comm Port installation issues

    Hello everybody,
    More and more machines are comming without Parallel and serials ports, they are comming with USB external ports only.
    Some have the RS-232 and Parallel headers in the motherboard, and that should last for about a year I think.
    At any rate, the issue I was facing is the following:
    (a) Installing Prolific PL-2303 USB to Serial Comm Port on Windows XP Pro SP3 works OK and system runs fine. there are some capacity issues regarding the buffer size, but that is another post.
    (b) Installing on WEPOS 1.1 SP3 on some motherboards (Older ones) that have at least the Parallel headers and a serial port, the device also works as with (a)
    (c) Installing on WEPOS 1.1 SP3 with a machine with only external USB's (no parallel / serial port or headers). The installation process runs OK. but when the device
    is plugged I get the following error message:
    "An error ocurred during the installation of the device"
    "A service Installation section in this INF is invalid"
    (d) Installing on POSReady 2009. I get the same as with (c)
    This is how I solved, after many frustrating reboots with the same message about the INF section and multiple Prolific drivers tried.  I started digging windows:
    (1) Find the setupapi.log and read it, if the OS is a fresh install it will not be too long.
    (2) Read this:
    #-166 Device install function: DIF_SELECTBESTCOMPATDRV.
    #I063 Selected driver installs from section [ComPort] in "c:\windows\inf\oem15.inf".
    #I320 Class GUID of device remains: {4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.

    [2010/02/13 23:32:24 2004.2]
    (3) So it was the serenum.sys file that Windows needed to find in the ..\system32\drivers folder. I got the serenum.sys from one of the temporary folders created by the installation process.
    (3a) So, I think that windows installs this sys file if it recognizes the motherboard has at least one parallel or serial port.
    (4) So good luck when installing your serial device to your POS solution. I will open another thread if I have problems with the buffer size of the device.
    Humberto Sequeira

    Hello Terry,
    Indeed, they were not intended as POS system, the EEE Top machines are candy to the eye, but for my taste they do not work in POS environment (I give them 1 year before they pop). Regarding the other, well competition is tought, so you have to get creative in order to keep costs down, and this one can be used as a waiter stations, that do not need heavy serial comunications.
    Anyways, the POSReady does not install these system files if the installation does not detect a serial or parallel port (which make sense, as why would it install drivers for a device that is not detected). I posted this for others to be aware of this when they select the hardware that will be offered to their customers, as good old "on mother-board" serial and parallel ports cannot be beaten by their USB imitations (IRQ and memory addressing processing are needed for end devices to function properly).
    Have a great weekend,
    Humberto

  • Share USB Disks over Ethernet WAN port

    What exactly does this option enable? The manual is a little less than clear. If I enable it, how would I access the drive remotely? I have dyndns set up, and the AEBS get's the Internet routable IP.
    But what method would I use? HTTP? FTP? What?
    I saw one post where it made it sound like this would actually keep dyndns updated with any IP changes, but that seems unlikely with how it is worded and documented.
    thanks,
    Sean

    According to a couple of reviews, sharing over wan is CIFS for Windows and AFP for Mac. I can access the drive remotely using AFP, but not CIFS. I go into "map network drive" and enter the server as follows:
    \\domain.dyndns.org\hdname
    That works when the machine is on the local network, but if I turn on the VPN, which makes it look like the machine is remote, it fails.
    I have the drive shared via wan ethernet enabled, and bonjour turned on.
    any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • USB Disk via USB Hub or Ethernet NAS Connection More Reliable?

    This is a rather techical question that calls for an opinion.
    I want to centralize backups for my daughter, wife and myself.  I'm going to add the latest model Airport Extreme Base Station as both an internet access point (from my cable modem) and as a wireless router to hard drive storage.  I know there are cheaper (and probably faster) wireless routers; however, I've used various models of airport base stations over the years with my cable modem and they have all worked flawlessly and never need rebooting.
    My two choices:  1) Connect a 4-port, powered USB hub to the usb connection on the Airport Extreme and use a pair of 3GB hard drives--one for primary backup and the second for the backup of the backup.  2) Use a QNAP TS110 or TS112 NAS device and connect it to the Base Station via gigabit ethernet.  Then, an external USB drive would be connected to the QNAP NAS device.  I've encountered QNAP NAS products in my work life and have been incredibly impressed with them--reliable, very low power requirements, reasonably easy setup via Web browser.
    Choice 1 will be about $125 less expensive than Choice 2.  I'll have to use the Linux Ext3 or 4 partition map for both drives under Choice 2 but the external USB volume can be formatted in Mac HFS+.  Choice 2 will be theoretically faster because of the gigabit ethernet connection (probably irrelevant because of the slow wireless n throughput) but the QNAP device can be set to do automated backups to the USB drive that would be connected to it.  That's nice. 
    My question:  Based on what I've read over the years about connecting USB disks to an Airport Extreme base station, I have the opinion that an ethernet connection to an NAS device may be more reliable (ie, the client computers don't drop the connection to the hard drive as often).  Maybe I'm wrong about that.  I would like an opinion.
    Also, I know how slow the real throughput will be as a result of clients connecting via wireless n.  In real life, with decent quality connections, I'll be looking at 10MB to 12MB per second max.  The first backups will take days; however, subsequent incremental backups will be much faster.  I don't plan to use Time Machine, but rather to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups to read/write sparse disk image bundles (CCC won't do regular backups to networked drives).  I tried Time Machine a while back but would rather have access to actual files as as a complete disk image that would be bootable when written back to a drive.  Call me old-fashioned, but that's me.  I also have two other bootable backups on 2.5" external drives--one that stays with me and another is always at my work place.  Also, I'm not interested in a Time Capsule because I don't think their reliability is all that great (bad design with too much heat buildup).
    Thanks for any insights you can offer.

    I meant to say 3TB drives, not 3GB.

  • Mac Mini Server Link aggregation - Thunderbolt or USB 3 gigabit ethernet adaptors

    I am setting up a late 2012 Mac Mini as a file server with Server 2.2. It has a Promise Pegasus R4 RAID and LaCie 4TB drives daisy chained via the Thunderbolt connection. 4 users on MacPro's will connect to the server to access these hard drives via gigabit ethernet.
    I imagine the gigabit ethernet will be the bottleneck, so I'm now looking at link aggregation. Not a problem on the MacPro's but the Mac Mini will require an adaptor to get a second gigabit port. From reading this forum I understand the Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit adaptor will work, but I'm concerned that it will need to be fitted 3rd in line after the R4 and LaCie drives. The 10Gbps bandwidth Thunderbolt has, may cause another bottleneck with all three working off the same port?
    An option would be to use one of the USB 3 ports with this adaptor http://www.ebuyer.com/412005-startec...edium=products
    I believe it work with OSX, but I have no speed information or if OSX link aggregation will work using it.
    Any thoughts on the above would be appreciated and recommendations on a suitable Network Switch with LACP support welcome.

    At present Mountain Lion Server cannot use a LACP bond, in my experience only of course. http://www.small-tree.com/kb_results.asp?ID=59 describes LACP/Bonds do not show up in Server Admin GUI on Mountain Lion
    anyone know how to do it? or the location and the name of the plist file to configure the network interface in ML server?

  • Dynamic bandwidth selection for PPPoE over Ethernet/VLAN

    Hello all, hope you are doing great.

  • Ethernet/Displays/Thunderbolt/Ports

    I want to use my imac as a second screen for my macbook pro but my minidisplay port on the macbook pro is being used up by the thunderboltd external harddrive, so even if i bought a minidisplay--> minidisplay cable i wouldn't be able to use it.......at this point i don't care if the displays are mirrored. Obviously using it as an additional monitor would be awesome, but if at this point i can just get these computers to be mirrored without the use of minidisplay port (again, because the thunder bolt hard drive is connected) that would be satisfactory.
    Basically what i'm trying to do is is run a DAW software off my macbook pro because it is an i7 and the imac i have is an i3. But for obvious reasons i'd rather use the bigger screen of the imac. But i've connected the interface and the midi cables, all of my usb ports are full, therefore the TB drive has to be connected through the TB port..a.k.a the mini display. thanks! 
    If the ethernet option is not possible, any ideas on how to use my TB drive while using my imac as an additional screen, simultaniously?

    You can use a HDMI to DVI adapter if the display resolution is not greater than 1920 x 1200.
    <http://startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/HDMI/>
    or you could use wireless for your network connection.

    If you use 5GHz, it should be nearly as fast as Ethernet.

  • USB HD or Ethernet HD

    I just bought a new AEBSn and want to hook up an external HD that both my G5 (wired) and MBP (wireless) can access, and not necessarily for use with Time Machine. Is this what is called NAS? My other question is whether using an ethernet HD attached to one of the Ethernet ports would be faster than an USB drive attached to the USB port?
    I will be storing data that needs to accessed by both computers, including some large Photoshop files, so the fastest connection to the HD is necessary.
    thanks

    I have both the LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Gigabit version and the AEBS. Even with the LaCie using a gigabit connection it can only sustain 12MB/sec in either direction. The AEBS with the newest firmware can easily do 15-19MB/sec. Because of this I have sold my LaCie EDmini and am just going to use the AEBS. Besides, the LaCie EDmini uses a constant 75 watts whereas the Airport uses less then 25 and your USB drive will only use 10 or so.
