Windows documentation for information about configuring IP settings. Systems shipped with
Windows pre-installed also have a compatible version of the NI-RIO software pre-installed.
When you power on the controller for the first time, it boots into safe mode if there is no
software installed on it. Complete the following steps to configure IP settings and install
software.
1.
Power on the system with the DISABLE RT DIP switch in the OFF position.
2.
Launch MAX on the host computer and expand
Remote Systems
in the MAX
configuration tree. MAX lists the cRIO controller as the model name of the controller
followed by the MAC address, for example,
NI-cRIO-908100802f108562
.
The controller automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If the
controller is unable to obtain an IP address, it connects to the network with a link-local IP
address with the form
169.254.x.x
.
3.
Enter a name for the Real-Time target in the Name field in the System Settings tab.
4.
Select the controller under Remote Systems to see the Network Settings tab in the middle
pane of MAX.
5.
Select settings for the Real-Time target in the IP Settings section, then click Apply.
