using GPIB-ENET/100 across firewall

using GPIB-ENET/100 across firewall

‎08-08-2005 10:01 AM

We would like to control a GPIB device across a firewall/subnet using NI-488.2 for Solaris. What ports need to be opened to allow control of the ENET/100? I see from the user's guide that EthernetConfig will not work across subnets. Presumable this means I need to configure it locally, and hopefully then it will be accessible from another network. What other advice can you give for doing this? Thanks.

You're correct, the UDP Broadcasts that are used in the EthernetConfig utility will not span subnets.  However, the TCP packets used in normal operation are routable.  Make sure that the software can send packets to the following TCP ports for the ENET/100: 5000, 5003, 5005, 5010, 5015 (all decimal).
