Remote System Monitoring
The PXIe-1086DC chassis provides an Ethernet port on the front panel of the chassis. You can
use this Ethernet port to monitor the chassis operating parameters remotely over a network.
The Ethernet port on the chassis supports communication speeds of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.
Contact your network administrator to determine whether your network supports DHCP. If
your network uses DHCP, the network configuration is performed automatically. Refer to
To use the remote monitoring interface, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your
PXIe-1086DC chassis. Connect the other end of the cable to your Ethernet network.
Note
The Ethernet controller can perform automatic crossover, thus eliminating the
need for crossover cables.
Through the remote monitoring Ethernet interface of the chassis, you can access a web page
with information about the current chassis operating parameters. You can access this page in
most browsers. Enter the IP address or hostname currently assigned to the chassis into the
browser’s address bar.
