TCP/IP to PPP

[JackTK]

I am running LabView 12 and Windows 7(64). My task is to implement communication to a device. The communication is TCP/IP but needs to go through a PPP port. The point to point port is set up with Windows 7. My question is how do I connect to this port with TCP/IP?

If you setup the PPP connection in Windows itself it should be transparent to the TCP/IP stack under Windows. If that is not the case something in your PPP setup seems wrong.

In which way do you setup the PPP connection in Windows? What tools do you use? Do you use the built in Remote Access Service (RAS) functionality in Windows or some other third party solution? If it is not Windows RAS, does it support transparent integration into Winsock (the Windows network socket library)? If it doesn't integrate into Winsock you have only two options:

1) Use Windows RAS or a similar tool instead that supports Winsock integration.

2) Find the API for your system and create a VI Library to access it through either .Net or a DLL with the Call Library Node.
