Move the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the NI 9792 is corrupted. Even if
the switch is not in the ON position, if there is no software installed on the NI 9792, the NI 9792
automatically boots into safe mode. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON position to reformat
the drive on the NI 9792. Refer to the
Measurement & Automation Explorer Help
for more information
about installing software on the NI 9792 and reformatting the drive on the NI 9792.
CONSOLE OUT Switch
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the CONSOLE OUT switch to read the IP address and
firmware version of the NI 9792. Use a null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the NI 9792 to a
computer. Move the switch to the ON position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal program is
configured to the following settings:
•
9,600 bits per second
•
Eight data bits
•
No parity
•
One stop bit
•
No flow control
The serial-port terminal program displays the IP address and firmware version of the NI 9792, and alerts
you when you connect an unsupported USB device to the NI 9792. Keep this switch in the OFF position
during normal operation.
IP RESET Switch
Move the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the NI 9792 to reset the IP address and other
TCP/IP settings of the NI 9792 to the factory defaults. Refer to the
Resetting the Network Configuration
section for more information about resetting the IP address.
NO APP Switch
Move the NO APP switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW startup application from running
on the NI 9792 when the NI 9792 powers on. If you want to permanently disable the application from
running when the NI 9792 powers on, you must disable it in LabVIEW. To run an application when the
NI 9792 powers on, move the NO APP switch to the OFF position, create an application using the
LabVIEW Application Builder, and configure the application in LabVIEW to launch when the NI 9792
powers on. If you already have an application configured to launch when the NI 9792 powers on and
you move the NO APP switch from ON to OFF, the startup application is automatically enabled. For
more information about automatically launching VIs when the NI 9792 powers on and disabling VIs
from launching when the NI 9792 powers on, refer to the
LabVIEW Help
.
USER1 Switch
You can define the USER1 switch for your application. To define the purpose of this switch in your
embedded application, use the RT Read Switch VI in your LabVIEW RT embedded VI. For more
information about the RT Read Switch VI, refer to the
LabVIEW Help
.
Reset Button
The NI 9792 is equipped with a RESET button as shown in Figure 11. Pressing the RESET button resets
the NI 9792 in the same manner as cycling power.
