The ISC-178x may not be powered. Verify that there is power to the device and that both
the ISC-178x and the development computer are properly connected to the network. The
Power LED should be lit green, the Status LED should be lit orange or green, and the
100/1G LED should flash green when refreshing the list of devices in MAX.
•
Ensure you are connecting to the ISC-178x from a Windows development computer with
NI-IMAQdx installed.
•
The ISC-178x may have been configured on another network and then moved to the
current network. Reconfigure the ISC-178x for the current network.
Note
Connect a monitor and keyboard to the ISC-178x and press <Enter> to
view the current configuration settings of the device.

address to another device. Either remove or reconfigure the other device, or reconfigure
the ISC-178x to use a different IP address.
