To ensure your SystemLink setup is scalable and fault-tolerant, connect to a remote file share using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.
- Launch NI SystemLink Server Configuration.
- Under NI SystemLink Service Manager, select the service you want to connect to the remote file share.
- Under Configuration, specify the output path for the file share you want to connect to.
-
Choose whether to run the service as a network service or as a custom user.
If the server machine has write access to the file share, choose Network Service. If only a specific user has access, choose Other account. Contact your IT administrator to determine which option fits your use case.
- Click Apply.
- Repeat these steps for any other SystemLink service that needs access to the remote file share.
