Detect IP and test device on Ethernet

[V.Life]

Hello.

I need to test Ethernet peripheral of a custom board through Labview.

To try  if it's possible, before of develop the test in Labview, with a specific command sent through RS232 port by TeraTerm I started the functioning of Ethernet on the board and through OpenDHCPServer software I can see the IP of the board.

Now, in my Labview project I can use the same command to enable the connection, but how can I test it? First I should get the IP address of the board through Labview and then "ping" it with a command? How can I do it?

Thank you

Regards

If the IP address doesn't change, I would store it as a configuration parameter. Then you can always adjust it if necessary, but you don't need complex code to determine it.

For a ping command with LabVIEW, see this:
