3.2.2.1 Out Of The Box Connection
This section describes how to establish a connection with the DI Driver System user interface via SCM. NI ships the
DI Driver System with an IP address of
192.168.1.100
and a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The Windows PC used
to interface with the system must have a similar IP address and Subnet mask, but the IP address must be different in
the last address number. The directions below illustrate how to make the initial network connection to the system and
open the system user interface.
1. The customer must provide a Windows 7 (or later) PC with an Ethernet LAN port.
2. Install SCM for LabVIEW 2013 to the PC.
3. Check the Windows Firewall settings or 3rd party firewall settings to allow SCM to communicate with the external
system.
4. Power up the DI Driver System controller . The DI Driver and PFI Driver modules do not need to be powered if
simply attempting to establish a connection to the user interface. Wait about 1 minute for both the USER1 and
USER FPGA LEDs to start blinking.
5. Using a CAT5E Ethernet cable, connect the Windows PC LAN port directly to the Ethernet port of the cRIO-9076
or Ethernet port 1 of the cRIO-9022 controller. If the green and amber LEDs directly under the controller Ethernet
port are not active, then there is no physical Ethernet connection to the PC. Please diagnose the Ethernet cable
connection problem.
6. Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Network and Sharing Center . From the Network and Sharing
Center select Change adapter settings from the left menu.
7. A list of network connections available on the PC will open. Right click the
Local Area Connection
port to select
Properties .
