Obtaining the computer information for the real-time system

The process of obtaining the computer information varies depending on the real-time system.

The software products by IPG Automotive can be used in combination with different hardware platforms. You can start your real-time system with just a few clicks.

You will need the name and MAC address of the real-time system. 

Please refer to the settings of the Realtime System Setup for this information.

More detailed information on the setup of your HIL system with the Realtime System Setup is provided in the CarMaker installation guide.

You will need the MAC address of the real-time system.
If your real-time system is not connected to a screen, determine the MAC address as follows:

  • Open the command prompt and connect to the real-time system (the IP address is identical for all rtpc): >>telnet 192.168.40.14
  • Log in using the user name “labcar”. A password is not required: >>labcar
  • Obtain the MAC address eth0 using the command
    >>sudo ifconfig

You will need the MAC address of your real-time system.

  • First, start the software “NI MAX” (Measurement & Automation Explorer)
  • Select the real-time system from the list of remote systems

The system needs to be switched on in order to appear on the list.

  • Switch to the detail view in the tab “Network Settings” 

Refer to “Primary Network Adapter” for the entry “MAC ID”.

  • Please send us the “eth0” address

You will need the MAC address of your real-time system.
