Determine own IP address

aries

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the IP address assigned to a master from within Netlinx? I want to have the code determine the IP of the master, picked up via DHCP, and then do some configuration depending on what the IP is.

Look up GET_IP_ADDRESS() in the help file and you will find what you're looking for.

Here is an example how to get the address of the NI.

DEFINE_DEVICE

dvMaster     = 0:1:0
dvTP         = 10001:1:0

DEFINE_FUNCTION PrintIP() {

   IP_ADDRESS_STRUCT IPInfo

   GET_IP_ADDRESS(dvMaster,IPInfo)
   
   SEND_STRING 0,"'My IP Address is: ',IPInfo.IPADDRESS"

}

DEFINE_EVENT

BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,1] {

   PUSH: {PrintIP()}

}

After I push button 1:

Line     23 (15:30:25)::  My IP Address is: 192.168.1.10
