Establish connection between labview and Lantronix XPort Pro

[kiandr]

Hi:

I am pretty new in this field. I just got into grad program, and I have been asked to establish a TCP/IP connection between Lantronix XPort Pro and labview 8.5. The goal is to get data from the server (Lantronix XPort Pro) and put them into labview and modify them, then I need to send modified data back into   server.

The server has registered into local network wirelessly, it has IP 192.168.5.117 in port 26.

I would really appreciate your help and comments.

cheers!

Kian.

Which field are you "new" to? Programming in general? Programming in LabVIEW? TCP/IP?

Have you taken a look at the TCP/IP examples that ship with LabVIEW? There are simple Data Client/Data Server examples that show transfer of data over TCP/IP. You will likely need to do something very similar. Does the XPort Pro have a TCP/IP listener running? Do you have a communication protocol defined?

Also, if you are new the LabVIEW, have you gone through any of the tutorials? To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

First of all, thanks for respond!

I am new user of Labview. That was what I meant. My background is Electric Engineering, I have worked a lot, with multisim. ( a NI product) in order to process signals and designing  circuits. I have done networking and traffic management and routing,too. But this time, connecting them together is  some kind of challenge for me!

Unfortunately, The Xport, has no TCP/IP listener running. when I turn it on, it begins sending data. 

I have been given,  the 26 port on the with device IP itself. Is that what you mean? 

I was wondering how to make the connection established. Is there any module, bridges the Labview application with the server (XPort)?

Your links are very helpful.

Thanks again!
