Getting Started with the NI EVS-1464RT
The NI EVS-1464RT is a real-time, fanless embedded vision system designed for rugged industrial
applications. The NI EVS-1464RT features a dual core processor, a solid-state drive, and a variety of
industrial communication connectors. The NI EVS-1464RT includes IEEE 1394b
Vision camera interfaces, and reconfigurable I/O (RIO).
This document describes how to install the NI EVS-1464RT hardware, configure a development
computer, configure an IP address, and acquire an initial image.
Refer to the NI EVS-1464 Series User Manual for device and I/O specifications, mounting requirements,
and answers to common questions about network, firewall, hardware, software, and power issues. To
access the NI EVS-1464 Series User Manual, select Start»All Programs»National Instruments»

What You Need to Get Started
The following components are included in the NI EVS-1464RT kit:
NI EVS-1464RT
DVI splitter cable
Three-position power connector
NI Vision Acquisition Software DVD
Required
Hardware
In addition to the items included in the NI EVS-1464RT kit, the following components are necessary to
set up and configure the NI EVS-1464RT.
One of the following power supply options:
Caution
Use the NI EVS-1464RT only with a 24 VDC, UL listed, limited power source (LPS)
supply. The power supply will bear the UL listed mark, LPS. The power supply must also meet any
safety and compliance requirements for the country of use.
PS-5 Power Supply, 24 VDC, 5 A, Universal Power Input (part number 778805-90)
Any 24 VDC ±10%, 70 W or greater power supply
Development computer running Windows Vista/XP/2000
One or two CAT 5 10/100Base-TX or CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cables. One Ethernet
cable is required to connect the device directly to the development computer. A second Ethernet
cable is required to connect the device to the development computer through a network.
Note
A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve maximum 1,000 Mbps
(Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet cables adhere to higher electrical
standards required for Gigabit Ethernet communication. CAT 5 cables are not guaranteed to meet the
necessary electrical requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps in some

    Unpack and Verify Components Remove the NI EVS-1464RT from the package and inspect the system for any sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the system appears damaged in any way. Do not use a damaged system.
  • Page 6: Connecting A Camera

    Connect the 3-position power connector to the power supply connector on the NI EVS-1464RT. Plug the power supply cord into an outlet. The power LED will illuminate and the NI EVS-1464RT will boot when the power supply is properly connected.
  • Page 7 If necessary, connect the power cord to the power supply. Plug the power supply cord into an outlet. The orange ISO LED on the NI EVS-1464RT front panel will illuminate when the computer is on and an isolated power supply is properly connected.
  • Page 8: Installing Ni Vision Acquisition Software

    Installing NI Vision Acquisition Software The latest version of NI Vision Acquisition software is included with the NI EVS-1464RT. NI Vision Acquisition Software includes driver software and MAX—the National Instruments configuration utility—which you can use to configure the NI EVS-1464RT.
  • Page 9 If you want to deploy the NI EVS-1464RT on a different subnet, first connect and configure the NI EVS-1464RT on the same subnet as the host computer. If you want to assign a static IP address for a different subnet, do so while the NI EVS-1464RT is connected to the development computer. After installing software on the NI EVS-1464RT physically move the NI EVS-1464RT to the correct subnet.
  • Page 10 You must connect the NI EVS-1464RT to the network before the NI EVS-1464RT boots. The NI EVS-1464RT does not have an on or off switch, and boots when power is supplied to it. The NI EVS-1464RT is now connected to the development computer through a network.
