MAX connection to cRIO over the Internet

[viScience]

Is it possible to use some sort of virtual IP mechanism to allow a remote cRIO to appear as a local IP addressable device and be recognized in MAX?

Hello sachsm,

A virtual IP address (VIP or VIPA) is an IP address that is not connected to a specific computer or network interface card (NIC) on a PC. We do not make any software that creates a Virtual IP, but if you can create one using third party software such that those IP addresses can be seen on the network on the same subnet as the PC, they should be viewable in MAX.

If you know the device's IP address, you can easily just add the device in MAX.  Right click on "Remote Systems", and click, "Create New", then click "Remote Device (not on the local subnet)".  You can then add its IP address, and WHAMMO - the device shows up in MAX.
