Configuring NI 29xx Devices
Setting Up the Network (Ethernet Only)
The device communicates with a host computer over gigabit Ethernet. Set up the network to
enable communication with the device.
Note
The IP addresses for the host computer and each connected NI USRP device
must be unique.

Configure the Host Ethernet Interface with a Static IP Address
The default IP address for the NI 29xx is
192.168.10.2
. You must configure the host
Ethernet interface with a static IP address on the same subnet as the connected device to
enable communication, as shown in the following table.
Table 2. Static IP Addresses
Component
Address
Host Ethernet interface static IP address
192.168.10.1
Host Ethernet interface subnet mask
255.255.255.0
Default NI USRP device IP address
192.168.10.2
Note
NI-USRP uses user datagram protocol (UDP) broadcast packets to locate the
device. On some systems, the firewall blocks UDP broadcast packets.
NI recommends that you change or disable the firewall settings to allow
communication with the device.
Tip
Make sure the host computer uses a static IP address. You may need to modify
the network settings for the local area connection using the Control Panel on the host
computer. Specify the static IP address in the
Properties
page for Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).

Changing the IP Address
To change the NI 29xx device IP address, you must know the current address of the device,
and you must configure the network.
