USB3 to G Ethernet support in R2022a?

Tried to use USB 3.0 to G Ethernet adaptor to connect to X310 USRP.

From window to ping - the radio no problem.

But from matlab Addon window, no device can be detected. But X310 MAC address can be pulled in.

Obviously it is Matlab software issue. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks!

Hi John,

I understand that you are able to successfully ping the USRP X310 from your Windows machine but cannot detect the device using MATLAB's USRP add on.

Here are a few potentials checks that you may follow:

1. Verify that the appropriate driver for USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter is installed in your Windows machine.
2. Check if your Windows firewall or any security software is not blocking MATLAB from accessing the USRP device.
3. You can use the 'ping' command in MATLAB to test connectivity to the USRP device.

system('ping <USRP_IP_address>')
%Replace <USRP_IP_address> with IP address of your USRP X310 device.

4. MATLAB configuration:

• Open MATLAB to manually do the USRP Setup. Please refer to the following documentation for the same:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/usrpradio/ug/manual-usrp-radio-support-package-hardware-setup.html

• In the USRP Setup dialog, verify that the "Hostname or IP Address" field is set to the IP address of your USRP X310 device. Check the "Device Serial Number" to ensure it is correctly set to the serial number of your USRP device.

Thank you,
