connect to 9791 WSN gateway on different domain

RE: 9791 WSN gateway

I want to collect data from a WSN without having a computer  in the very remote field location.  For 1 measurement per minute, we don't need the power and cost of a RIO, or even a laptop at the remote location.

I want to use a 9791 gateway (with some 3202 WSN devices)  in a remote field location, directly connected to the internet via a satellite link.  I want to run a LabVIEW program on a computer back at the home office location.  I plan to collect remote data locally on a LabVIEW VI without having a computer in the remote location.

Since the 9791 won't be on my same network domain back at the home office, how do i get MAX to find the 9791 ?

I have only used the 9791 on a local network, where MAX auto-detect is, well, automatic.

Hi William,

Do you have any information about the remote network you plan to set up? Depending how you have it configured, you could create a new remote system in MAX and direct it to the location where your data is being sent.

Hi Tim,

I'm still just exploring the possibilities, we haven't settled on the remote network hardware yet.  One possibility is a satellite uplink to the internet, another is a cell phone data connection of some kind. 

How do i create the new remote system in MAX, is it as simple as giving it an IP address ?

Will MAX be able to detect the NI hardware connected to the IP address ?
