This will cause SCM to search the network for a National Instruments RT controller, such as the cRIO-9066.
If the DI Driver System controller is discovered, take note of the discovered IP address. The Windows PC
used to interface with the system must have a similar IP address and Subnet mask as the system controller,
but the IP address must be different in the last address number. The Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
Refer to the Out Of The Box Connection
The Real-Time Backup and Restore dialog may be exited by selecting the Exit button.
4. Check the System Controller Ethernet Cable Connection
If the green and amber LEDs directly under the controller Ethernet port are not active or blinking, then there
is no physical connection to a network router or PC, or there is no power to the controller. Please diagnose
the Ethernet cable connection or controller power problem.
If none of the above suggestions resolve the system connection problem, follow the
instructions below to reset the system controller network interface settings to DHCP.
cRIO-9066 Controller
To manually reset the network settings of the cRIO-9066 controller included with DI Driver Systems, follow the steps
below:
1. Power up the cRIO-9066 controller.
2. Press and hold the reset button for greater than 5 seconds. Release the reset button. This will cause the
controller to reboot into safe mode and the DI Driver System software will not load. This is indicated by the amber
Status LED blinking 3 times.
