Issue Details

I have a real-time target set up which I need to enable the Remote Panel Server, set the HTTP port number, and enable remote front panels without LabVIEW Development System installed PC connected to the real-time target network.

How to enable the below remote panel server setting without using LabVIEW Development System?
Remote Panel Server setting

Solution

This can be achieved by editing the configuration file in real-time target.
Open the lvrt.conf configuration file in the below directory using WebDAV.

/etc/natinst/share/lvrt.conf

To use WebDAV with real-time target, please see the Related Links section.

To enable the remote panel server, add the below configuration in the text file and save it.

WebServer.Enabled=True

To set HTTP port and enable remote panel, you will have to open niwebserver.conf configuration file.
This configuration file is located in below directory.

/etc/natinst/share/niwebserver.conf

Add Listen 8000 to set the HTTP port number to 8000.
Add LoadModule LVRFP lvrfpmodule line to the configuration file and save it to enable remote front panels.
