NI sbRIO-9601/9602/9602XT User Guide
Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the
sbRIO device is corrupted. Even if the switch is not in the ON position, if
there is no software installed on the device, the device automatically boots
into safe mode. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON position to
reformat the drive on the device. Refer to the
Measurement & Automation
Explorer Help
for more about installing software and reformatting the
drive.
CONSOLE OUT Switch
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the serial port to read
the IP address and firmware version of the NI sbRIO device. Use a
null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the device to a computer.
Push the CONSOLE OUT 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
Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If
CONSOLE OUT is enabled, LabVIEW RT cannot communicate with the
serial port.
IP RESET Switch
Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the NI sbRIO
device to reset the IP address to
0.0.0.0
. If the device is on your local
subnet and the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the device appears
in MAX with IP address
0.0.0.0
. You can configure a new IP address for
the device in MAX. Refer to the
Resetting the Network Configuration of the
section for more information about resetting the IP
address.
NO APP Switch
Push the NO APP switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW RT
startup application from running at startup. If you want to permanently
disable a LabVIEW RT application from running at startup, you must
disable it in LabVIEW. To run an application at startup, push the NO APP
switch to the OFF position, create an application using the LabVIEW
Application Builder, and configure the application in LabVIEW to launch
at startup. For more information about automatically launching VIs at
