Network Connection Configuration to the ATCA-3671
An Ethernet connection to the host computer is required to use the ATCA-3671 hardware.
The ATCA-3671 is shipped with the following fixed network configuration:
•
IP address: 192.168.0.75
•
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
•
Gateway address: 192.168.0.1
This document assumes that the ATCA-3671 uses the default network configuration above,
and that the host computer has been configured with an adapter able to communicate on the
same network. For more information on how to change the network configuration of either the
ATCA-3671 or the host computer, visit

Finding Example VIs
The NI ATCA FPGA Modules examples provide a starting point for programming the
ATCA-3671 with LabVIEW. Complete the following steps to browse or search installed
example VIs and online example VIs.
1.
Within LabVIEW, select
Help
»
Find Examples
to launch the NI Example Finder.
2.
Select the
Browse
tab to locate examples by task at
Hardware Input and Output
»
ATCA
.
Note
If you add LLB or VI files to the
labview\examples
directory, you
can select
Help
»
Find Examples
to browse them by directory structure. To
browse examples by functionality or search by keywords, you can prepare
example VIs to appear in the NI Example Finder. You must add example VIs to
the NI Example Finder as top-level VIs.
Verifying the Device Connection (Optional)
Run a VI to confirm the device is correctly connected to the host computer.
1.
Open the
ATCA-3671 Getting Started DRAM.lvproj
example project by
navigating to the Start menu at

DRAM - Getting Started
.
2.
Open the Getting Started - External Memory (Host) VI in the project.
3.
Configure the
RIO Device
input for the FPGA you want to use.
4.
Run the VI.
If the device is working properly, the data written to memory is the data read on the
indicators with no errors.
