Locking System Configuration
After you configure the remote system, you can lock the system configuration with a password to prevent others on your network from changing the configuration, if your device supports locking.
 |
Note Only Network Settings, System Settings, the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard, and some VISA/PXI settings are protected with the Lock setting. |
In addition, a host computer on the network cannot target the LabVIEW Real-Time Module to the remote system without a password unless the host is in the RT Target: Access list in LabVIEW. To access this list from within LabVIEW 8.0 or later, right-click a project window and select Properties. In LabVIEW 7.x or earlier, select the Tools»RT Target Options menu item.
If you check Password-protect Resets in MAX and click Apply before you lock your remote system, your users will be prompted for a password when trying to reboot the remote system from the network.
Complete the following steps to lock the system configuration:
- Select your remote system in the configuration tree and click Lock in the toolbar. The Locking System Configuration dialog box appears.
- Enter and confirm a password.
- Click OK to lock the system configuration. Your system is locked if the Lock button appears pressed.
You must click Lock in MAX and enter the correct password to unlock the system configuration.
