Refer to the RT Getting Started Guide available on your host computer for more
information about setting up your RT target.

LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches

Note You must reboot the controller for any changes to take place.
Note By default, the target will automatically attempt to connect to the network using
DHCP. If the target is unable to initiate a DHCP connection, the target connects to the
network with a link-local IP address or

Use the LabVIEW RT configuration switches to configure LabVIEW RT
if it is installed on the controller. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, these
switches should remain in the OFF position. The controller reads these
switches only after a system reset.
The NI PXI-8104 controller includes the following LabVIEW RT
configuration switches:
• Switch 1—Boot LabVIEW RT: Set this switch to ON to boot
LabVIEW RT.
• Switch 2—Boot Safe Mode: Set this switch to ON to boot LabVIEW
RT into safe mode to reconfigure TCP/IP settings and to download or
update software from a host computer. This switch overrides the
behavior of Switch 1. Booting the controller into safe mode does not
start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After changing the settings
or software, reboot the controller with this switch OFF to resume
normal operation.
• Switch 3—Disable Startup VI: Set this switch to ON to prevent VIs
from automatically running at startup if the controller becomes
inaccessible because of a startup VI.
Switch 4—Reset IP Address: Set this switch to ON to reset the
•
IP address and other TCP/IP settings to their factory defaults. Use this
switch if moving the controller to a different subnet or if the current
TCP/IP settings are valid.
Figure 2-5 shows the location of the LabVIEW RT configuration switches.
The switches are shown in the OFF position.
