Note

If you choose not to use the optional network switch, use one CAT 5E

Ethernet cable to connect the Ettus USRP X410 to the PXI Controller. This

hardware setup requires additional configuration in software. Either set a

DHCP server on the PXI controller or set a static IP address on the Ettus

USRP X410.

Powering on the Device

1. Connect the power supply to the Ettus USRP X410.
2. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet. Press the power button on the front

of your device.

3. Power on the host PC and network switch.

Installing the Software

To program your device with UHD, install UHD on your host computer.

Navigate to the installation guide that applies to your operating system.
