Setting TCP/IP Access for the VI Server

You can enable server support for TCP/IP by placing a checkmark in the TCP/IP checkbox in the VI Server:Configuration page of the Options dialog box. Use VI Server: TCP/IP Access to configure which IP addresses can access your VIs. Create a TCP/IP Access List that allows and denies access to individual IP addresses. You also can use the TCP/IP Access List property to allow and deny access to IP addresses programmatically.

When a remote LabVIEW application attempts to open a connection to the VI Server, the VI Server compares the IP address to the entries in the TCP/IP Access List to determine whether it should grant access. If an entry in the TCP/IP Access List matches the IP address, the VI Server permits or denies access based on how you set up the entry. If no entry matches the IP address, the VI Server denies access. Refer to the following sections for instructions on how to add new TCP/IP Access List entries, edit existing entries, or remove entries, and for information about the syntax, order, and wildcards in the entries.
