Why Can't I Detect My Device in LabVIEW Communications
System Design Suite?
Complete one or more of the following options to detect your device in LabVIEW
Communications System Design Suite:
•
Ensure that the device is powered on and has a valid IP address.
•
Refer to the
NI-USRP Readme
to verify that your version of the NI-USRP instrument
driver supports the USRP-2974.
•
Visit
bxpsse
to access the
Provisioning a Real-Time
Controller or USRP Stand-Alone Device for LabVIEW Communications
tutorial.
What is the IP Address of My Device?
The device acquires an IP address when connected to the network for the first time. You can
discover this IP address by using Linux commands while connected to the device.
1.
Connect the USRP-2974 to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
2.
Enter your login credentials.
3.
Use the Linux command
ifconfig
to view the IP address for the following Ethernet
ports:
Table 1. Ethernet Port Addressing
Ethernet Port
Addressing
Port Description
eth0
1G ETH RJ45
eth1
Internal 10G ETH
eth2
External SFP+ 1G/10G ETH 0
Note
The external SFP+ 1G/10G ETH 1 port does
not have access to the system on module (SoM).
Tip
You can limit the results by adding the Ethernet port after the Linux
command
ifconfig
. For example, the Linux command
ifconfig eth0
provides the IP address for the 1G ETH RJ45 port.
How Do I Change My IP Address Using My Computer?
1.
Open or create a project including the USRP-2974 as described in
.
Note
If the device cannot be connected in SystemDesigner due to an incorrect
or unknown IP address, set up a temporary IP address for the device as
described in
How Do I Change My IP Address without Using My Computer?
2.
Select
Network Adapters
on the target in SystemDesigner.
3.
Select
Configure Network Settings
on the Configuration pane.
4.
Select the network adapter that you want to change the settings for using the addresses
defined in the following table.
