Boot the NI PXI Express embedded controller into the real-time
operating system. Refer to the
section or the LabVIEW RT Menu
the controller for booting into LabVIEW RT.
The PXI Express 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 Express controller as the model name of the
controller followed by the MAC address (for example,
NI-PXIe-8133-2f108562).
Click on the appropriate PXI Express controller entry to access the
Network Settings tab in the right pane view.
(Optional) Enter a name for the RT target in the Name text box.
