15 Frequently Asked Questions
If you experience this issue, perform the following to try to connect to the
target PC:
1 Connect the network cable to Ethernet adapter B.
2 In the MATLAB Command Window, type
!arp -d
This command removes the association between the target P C address and
the hardware address of Ethernet adapter A from the cache of the host PC.
This removal allows a new connection (and associat ion ) to be made.
3 Change the Ethernet a dapter card that the Network Boot option uses. You
can do this in one of the following ways:
• Change the target PC BIOS to change the Ethernet adapter to the one
that the Network Boot option is looking for.
• Set the
setxpcenv EthernetIndex property:
– IfthetargetPCisthedefaulttargetPC:
In the MATLAB Co mmand Window, type:
setxpcenv('EthernetIndex','1')
– If the target PC is not the default, issue a series of commands like
the following. These commands assume that the target PC name is
nonDefaultTarget.
allTargets = xpctarget.targets;
myTargetEnv = allTargets.Item('nonDefaultTarget');
set(myTargetEnv, 'EthernetIndex', '1');
Recreate the Network Boot option boot image.
Reboot the target P C.
