3.2.3.3 Manually Resetting The
Controller Network Interface To DHCP
This section assumes that all attempts have failed to establish connection with the DI Driver System user interface,
and the system controller IP address is unknown.
Before resetting the controller network settings to DHCP mode, consider the
following:
1. Reboot the System Controller
Press and release the reset button on the front of the cRIO-9082 controller. Wait about 1 minute for both the
USER1 and USER FPGA LEDs to start blinking. The typical time to start blinking is about 25 seconds. A
connection cannot be established with the user interface via SCM until both User LEDs are blinking. If both
LEDs are not blinking, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
2. Use Search for SCM Target... to Discover the IP Address
If the IP address of the controller is discovered via the Search for SCM Target... dialog, but the Download
Files checkbox does not appear in the dialog, then take note of the discovered IP address. The Windows PC
used to interface with the system must have a similar IP address and Subnet mask as the system controller,
but the IP address must be different in the last address number. The Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
Refer to the Out Of The Box Connection section to see how to change the IP address of the Windows PC.
3. Use SCM Real-Time Target Backup Feature to Discover the IP Address
From the SCM console, select File, then Real-Time Backup and Restore to open the Real-Time System
Backup
dialog. Select the
Backup Real-Time System
button to open the Backup Target dialog.
Select the Browse button to open the Select RT System dialog.
