Network
•
Ensure that the USB connections between the cRIO-9037 and the host computer and the
Ethernet connections between the host computer and the router are secure.
•
Configure the IP and other network settings by completing the following steps.
1.
Use a USB A-to-B cable to connect the cRIO-9037 USB device port to a host
computer. The USB driver creates a virtual network interface card and assigns an IP
address to the cRIO-9037 in the format of 172.22.11.
