Boot the NI PXI embedded controller into the real-time operating
system. Refer to the LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches
the LabVIEW RT Setup Menu
controller for booting into LabVIEW RT.
The PXI controller will automatically boot into LabVIEW RT Safe
Mode when no software is installed. LabVIEW RT Safe Mode loads
with the basic real-time operating system and will automatically
attempt to connect to the network using DHCP. If DHCP is not
available, it will then connect to the network with a link-local
IP address.
Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on another
computer in the same subnet and expand the Remote Systems branch.
MAX lists the PXI controller as the model name of the controller
followed by the MAC address (for example,
NI-PXI-8115 00802f108562).
Click on the appropriate PXI controller entry to access the Network
Settings tab in the right pane view.
