Getting Started with the cDAQ Chassis
CONSOLE
OUT
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for LabVIEW Real-Time)
The position of the
CONSOLE OUT switch determines whether console input and output are
redirected to the RS-232 serial port. If the switch is in the ON position,
console input and output are redirected to the RS-232 serial port. If the
switch is in the OFF position, the RS-232 serial port functions normally.
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use console output to read the
POST results, BIOS revision, IP addresses, and software installed on the
cDAQ chassis. Use a null-modem cable to connect the RS-232 serial port
on the chassis to a computer. Push the CONSOLE OUT switch to the ON
position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal program is configured with
the same settings as the RS-232 serial port. The RS-232 serial port in
CONSOLE OUT mode has the following default configuration settings:
• 9,600 bits per second
• Eight data bits
• No parity
• One stop bit
• No flow control
You can use the BIOS setup menu to modify the CONSOLE OUT
configuration settings for the RS-232 serial port.
Keep the CONSOLE OUT switch in the OFF position during normal
operation.
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for Windows)
NI recommends that you keep the
CONSOLE OUT switch in the OFF position at all times.
IP RESET
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for LabVIEW Real-Time)
Push the IP RESET
switch to the ON position and reboot the controller to reset the IP address
and other TCP/IP settings of the controller to the factory defaults. Refer to
the
Using the BIOS Setup Utility to Change Configuration Settings
of Appendix A,
Controller Operating System and Configuration
, for more
information about resetting the IP address. You can also push this switch to
the ON position to unlock a controller that was previously locked in MAX.
(NI cDAQ-9138/9139 for Windows)
NI recommends that you keep the IP
RESET switch in the OFF position at all times.
