This chapter provides guidelines for connecting the NI CVS-1459RT to a network.
Connecting Multiple NI CVS-1459RT Devices
An Ethernet connection between the development computer and the NI CVS-1459RT allows
you to assign an IP address, configure the NI CVS-1459RT, download inspection tasks, and
remotely monitor an ongoing inspection.
You can connect multiple NI CVS-1459RT devices to the same network, as shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1.
Multiple NI CVS-1459RT Devices Connected to the Same Network
To connect multiple NI CVS-1459RT devices to the same network, each device must have a
unique IP address. By default, the configuration utility running on the development computer
displays each NI CVS-1459RT that exists on the subnet. To add entries for NI CVS-1459RT
devices that exist on other subnets, you must know the IP address assigned to each device. This
feature allows remote configuration, programming, and monitoring of any NI CVS-1459RT not
protected by a firewall or user password.
