Connecting the Controller to a Network Connect the controller to an Ethernet network using Ethernet port 1 on the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better Ethernet cable to connect the controller to an Ethernet hub or a computer. Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation, do not use a cable longer than 100 m.
Caution The C terminals are internally connected to each other. If you use two power supplies, make sure that they share a common ground. Caution The C terminals are internally connected to the controller chassis to prevent a faulty ground connection from causing the chassis ground to float. If you reverse the input voltage, the positive input voltage is connected directly to the chassis.

For more information about setting up the controller as an RT target, refer to the RT Getting Started Guide, available on the host computer at Start» Programs»National Instruments»LabVIEW 8.x»LabVIEW Manuals. For more information about configuring the controller in MAX, refer to the MAX Help.
Connecting Serial Devices to the Controller The controller has an RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices such as displays or input devices. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial port. For more information about the Serial VIs, refer to the LabVIEW Help.
USER1 Figure 6. Controller DIP Switches All of the DIP switches are in the OFF position when the controller is shipped from National Instruments. SAFE MODE Switch The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches when the controller boots. If the switch is in the OFF position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches.
CONSOLE OUT Switch With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the CONSOLE OUT switch to read the IP address and firmware version of the controller. Use a null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the controller to a computer. Push the switch to the ON position.
