The NI-9147 is Not Communicating with the Network

Ensure that the USB connections between the NI-9147 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 NI-9147 USB device port to a
host computer. The USB driver creates a virtual network interface card
and assigns an IP address to the NI-9147 in the format of 172.22.11.x.
2. In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
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 NI-9147 to
the host computer. The NI-9147 attempts to initiate a DHCP network
connection at powerup.
Ensure that you have the correct version of NI CompactRIO Device Drivers
