Troubleshooting the cRIO-9039
The cRIO-9039 is Not Communicating with the Network
Ensure that the USB connections between the cRIO-9039 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-9039 USB device port to a host
computer. The USB driver creates a virtual network interface card and assigns an IP address to the cRIO-9039 in the format of 172.22.11.x.
2. In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
12 | ni.com | NI cRIO-9039 Getting Started Guide
Page 13
3. Select the Network Settings tab to configure the IP and other network settings.
4. (Optional) Use the RJ-45 Ethernet port 1 to reconnect the cRIO-9039 to the host computer. The cRIO-9039 attempts to initiate a DHCP network connection at powerup.
Note If the cRIO-9039 cannot obtain an IP address, it connects to the
network with a link-local IP address with the form 169.254.x.x. The host computer communicates with the cRIO-9039 over a standard Ethernet connection.
Ensure that you have the correct version of NI-RIO Device Drivers installed on the host computer. Visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code swsupport for the minimum supported versions of LabVIEW and NI-RIO Device Drivers.
Tip If you have recently upgraded LabVIEW, you must reinstall NI-RIO
Device Drivers.
Ensure that the NI USBLAN adapter is recognized in the Device Manager. On Windows 7, select Start»Control Panel»Device Manager»Network adapters»National Instruments»USBLAN adapter. If the USBLAN adapter is not recognized, you must reinstall NI-RIO Device Drivers.
Temporarily disable any network firewalls or other security software.
Verify the System IP Configuration
1. Put the cRIO-9039 in safe mode and enable the RS-232 serial port by holding the RESET button down for 5 seconds.
The STATUS LED starts blinking three times every few seconds.
2. Use the RS-232 serial port terminal to read the IP address, or connect a monitor to the mini DisplayPort to view the IP address.
Note Refer to the user manual on ni.com/manuals for more information about
serial port configuration.
3. Set a new DHCP connection by holding the RESET button down for 5 seconds. The STATUS LED repeats the same behavior from Step 1.
If the cRIO-9039 fails to set a new DHCP address, it assigns itself a link-local IP address. If the DHCP connection is successful and appropriate for your application, skip to Step 6.
4. In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
5. Select the Network Settings tab to configure the IP and other network settings.
6. Reboot the cRIO-9039 by pressing the RESET button.
Configure the Windows Firewall
Add an exception for MAX to your network firewall or other security software by completing the following steps:
1. On Windows 7, select Start»Control Panel»System and Security»Windows
Firewall»Allow a program through Windows Firewall.
2. Click Allow another program.
3. Select Measurement & Automation.
