National Instruments is offering a way to integrate external DLLs and Shared Libraries into LabVIEW.
The Hilscher CIFX driver for Windows contains such an external DLL by default, necessary for Windows applications to getting access to the CIFX hardware and the running
software. And this DLL can be integrated into LabVIEW making the generic CIFX-API available under NI LabVIEW.
A manual comming provided with the CIFX-API describes the functions and the handling, which must be implemented in the LabVIEW application.
The CIFX-API DLL (cifX32DLL.dll) itself is available in 32Bit and 64Bit version, installed during the installation of the CIFX driver for Windows
and depending of on the version of the Windows operating system, the ciX32Dll.dll will be installed in different directories:

Additional Information:
How a DLL or Shared Libray Library is integrated in LabVIEW is described by National Instruments and not a part of the Hilscher driver.
Please consult the National Instruments Support on how to do this.

To have acces access to all the functions of the TCPConnector.dll you may have to add the same functions manually via "Call Library Function". Choose the needed function and add the proper parameters by hand. The following screenshots shows show an example for netXConSetConfig.
