Why Does USRP2 Appear Instead of USRP RIO in the
NI-USRP Configuration Utility?
An incorrect IP address on the computer may cause this error. Check the IP address and run
the NI-USRP Configuration Utility again.
An old FPGA or firmware image on the device may also cause this error. Upgrade the FPGA
and firmware using the NI-USRP Configuration Utility.
Why Don't NI-USRP Examples Appear in the
NI Example Finder?
NI-USRP does not install examples into the NI Example Finder.

Direct Connections to the USRP RIO
The USRP RIO is an RF instrument that is sensitive to ESD and transients. Ensure you take
the following precautions when making direct connections to the USRP RIO to avoid
damaging the device.
Caution
Apply external signals only while the USRP RIO is powered on.
Applying external signals while the device is powered off may cause damage.
•
Ensure you are properly grounded when manipulating cables or antennas connected to the
USRP RIO TX 1 RX 1, RX 1, or RX 2 connector.
•
If you are using nonisolated devices, such as a nonisolated RF antenna, ensure the devices
are maintained in a static-free environment.
•
If you are using an active device, such as a preamplifier or switch routed to the USRP
RIO TX 1 RX 1, RX 1, or RX 2 connector, ensure that the device cannot generate signal
transients greater than the RF and DC specifications of the USRP RIO TX 1 RX 1, RX 1,
or RX 2 connector.
