Make sure your radio hardware is configured for host-radio communication by following the steps in Guided Host-Radio Hardware Setup.

Create a radio object for your radio hardware.

dev = sdrdev('E3xx')
dev = 
  SDRDevE3xx with properties:

     IPAddress: '192.168.3.2'
    DeviceName: 'E3xx'

Use this object to get radio hardware information.
