Enable function in TCP/IP communication

Hi community,

Good day to you. This is my first time posting here and also my first time working on TCP/IP communication in Simulink. To understand better, I am using the examples 'TargetToTargetTCPServer' on my laptop and 'TargetToTargetTCPClient' on my desktop. I had modified the IP address of my workstations to the addresses in the examples. However, when I try to run the simulation, the output status of the 'TCP configure' block is always zero. I am not sure if this is the problem in establishing TCP/IP communication between the client and server.

I tried searching for a solution for the past 2 days but couldn't find any. It would be really great if someone can help me with the issue.

The mentioned examples for Simulink Real-Time require two real-time target machines from Speedgoat. In other words, you cannot run those TCP/IP examples between your laptop and desktop PC. If you need TCP communication on Windows PC, you should look at the Instrument Control Toolbox.

Thank you for the clarification Mr Diego Kuratli. By any chance do you know of any demo that can help me with understanding and establishing the communication?

In the MATLAB Help you can find an example which shows how to send/receive data over UDP:
