Network Troubleshooting
The Device Does Not Connect to the Host Ethernet Interface
The host Ethernet interface must be a gigabit Ethernet interface to connect to the NI USRP
device. Ensure the connection between the host network interface card and the device cable
connection is valid and both the device and computer are powered on. A lit green LED in the
upper left corner of the gigabit Ethernet connection port on the device front panel indicates a
gigabit Ethernet connection.
The Device Does Not Respond to a Ping (ICMP Echo Request)
The device should reply to an internet control message protocol (ICMP) echo request. Open a
Windows command prompt and enter
ping
192.168.10.2
, where
192.168.10.2
is the
IP address for your NI USRP device, to ping the device. If you do not receive a response,
verify that the host network interface card is set to a static IP address corresponding to the
same subnet as the IP address of the corresponding device. Also verify that the device IP
address is set properly.

The NI-USRP Configuration Utility Does Not Return a Listing for
My Device
If the NI-USRP Configuration Utility does not return a listing for your device, search for a
specific IP address.
1.
Navigate to
<Program Files>\National Instruments\NI-USRP\
.
2.
<Shift>-right-click the
utilities
folder, and select
Open command window here
from the shortcut menu to open a Windows command prompt.
3.
Enter
uhd_find_devices --args=addr=
192.168.10.2
in the command prompt,
where
192.168.10.2
is the IP address for your NI USRP device.
4.
Press <Enter>.
If the
uhd_find_devices
command does not return the listing for your device, the
firewall may be blocking replies to UDP broadcast packets. Windows installs and enables
a firewall by default. To allow UDP communication with a device, disable any firewall
software associated with the network interface for the device.
