Hi all,
I have a few basic questions that I would like to ask regarding xPC target setup. Please pardon my stupidity but I am new to xPC target and I have limited knowledge about computer setup.
Before that, let me explain what I have now. I have two desktop computers with on-board network card and a second network card (Intel PRO/100 S). In the host PC, the on-board network card is used to access matlab from the university network. The second network card is used to communicate with the target PC. (Intel card of host pc connected to INTEL CARD OF TARGET PC)
My questions are:
1) I want to use cross-over cable for the host-target communication. Is this cross-over cable is the same cable that we use to connect to our LAN network? (I read somewhere that we need UTP cross-over cable with RJ45 to make direct connection between the host and the target computer).
2) I read that we can use the command !IPCONFIG to get the ip address of the host PC and then assign the target computer ip address to be 1 above the host PC ip address in the XPCEXPLR GUI. Is this command giving me the HOST COMPUTER IP address of the second network card?
Thank you so much for your help.
