If the IP address of the host PC matches an entry that allows access you can target the cFP 20xx without providing a password even if the module configuration is locked If the host IP address does not match any entry or matches an entry that denies access you must provide the correct password to target the cFP 20xx cFP 20xx and cFP BP x User Manual 4 4 ni com Chapter 4 LabVIEW RT Programming When you try to target the RT Engine on a cFP 20xx from a host PC through the RT Development System the RT Engine compares the host PC s IP address to the entries in the RT Target Access List to determine if the host PC is permitted access You define the RT Target Access List entries to indicate whether or not a host PC is permitted or denied access If an entry in the list matches the host PC address the RT Engine either allows or denies access based on what you define for the entry If a subsequent entry also matches the host PC address that permission is used in place of the previous permission For example in the RT Target Access dialog box shown a test site comandb test site com are permitted access even though the list indicates by the wildcard that all addresses ending in test site com are denied access A checkmark next to a list entry denotes that access is permitted while an x denotes that access is denied If no entry matches the host PC address access is denied unless you supply a password Table 4 1 shows examples of RT Tar
