xPC Target

Hardware for Network Communication

You must install the following hardware before you install the xPC Target software and configure it for network communication:

• Network adapter card -- When using xPC Target with TCP/IP, you must have a network adapter card correctly installed on both the host PC and the target PC. Connect the host and target computers with an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to your local area network (LAN).

• Also, you can directly connect your computers together. Use a cross-over UTP cable with RJ45 connectors.

• I/O boards -- If you use I/O boards on your target PC, you need to correctly install the boards.
