Verify or Reset the System IP Configuration
Complete the following steps to verify or reset the system IP configuration of your
sbRIO-96xx
1. Put the sbRIO-96xx in safe mode by holding the RESET button down for 5 seconds.
The STATUS LED starts blinking three times every few seconds.
2. Connect the 10-pin IDC to DSUB accessory (Serial/CAN cable) to the RS-232 to read the
IP address via Console Out.
3. Set a new DHCP connection by holding the RESET button down for 5 seconds. The
STATUS LED repeats the same behavior from Step 1.
If the sbRIO-96xx fails to set a new DHCP address, it assigns itself a link-local IP
address. If the DHCP connection is successful and appropriate for your application, skip
to Step 6.
4. In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
5. Select the Network Settings tab to configure the IP and other network settings.
6. Reboot the sbRIO-96xx by pressing the RESET button.
