Configuring the cRIO-9035
You can connect the cRIO-9035 to a host computer or network and configure the startup
options using the USB device port or the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port 1.
Tip Refer to the getting started guide on ni.com/manuals for basic configuration
instructions and information about connecting to a host computer using the USB
device port. NI recommends using the USB device port for configuration, debug,
and maintenance.
Connecting the cRIO-9035 to the Host Computer or
Network Using Ethernet
Complete the following steps to connect the cRIO-9035 to a host computer or Ethernet
network using the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port 1. NI recommends using the RJ-45 Gigabit
Ethernet port 1 for communication with deployed systems.
Note You can configure the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port 2 in Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX) under the Network Settings tab.
1. Power on the host computer or Ethernet hub.
2. Connect the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on the cRIO-9035 to the host computer or
Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better shielded, twisted-pair
Ethernet cable.
Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet
installation, do not use a cable longer than 100 m (328 ft).

The cRIO-9035 attempts to initiate a DHCP network connection the first time you
connect using Ethernet. The cRIO-9035 connects to the network with a link-local IP
address with the form 169.254.x.x if it is unable to initiate a DHCP connection.
Finding the cRIO-9035 on the Network (DHCP)
Complete the following steps to find the cRIO-9035 on a network using DHCP.
1. Disable secondary network interfaces on the host computer, such as a wireless access
card on a laptop.
2. Ensure that any anti-virus and firewall software running on the host computer allows
connections to the host computer.
Note MAX uses UDP 44525. Refer to the documentation of your firewall
software for information about configuring the firewall to allow communication
through the UDP 44525.
3. Launch MAX on the host computer.
4. Expand Remote Systems in the configuration tree and locate your system.
Tip MAX lists the system under the model number followed by the serial
number, such as NI-CRIO-9035-1856AAA.
Finding the cRIO-9035 on the Network (Static IP)
Complete the following steps to find the cRIO-9035 on the network if the host computer is
using a static IP address. The following instructions are for host computers running
Windows 7. For more information about performing the network configuration steps in this
section, visit www.microsoft.com and search for change tcp/ip settings.
1. Obtain IP settings from the host computer.
a) Click Start»Control Panel»Network and Sharing Center.
b) Select the primary network connection, which may appear as Local Area
Connection or something similar.
c) In the dialog box that appears, click Properties.
d) Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
e) Click Properties.
f) Record the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway address. You need
these settings to configure the network settings of the cRIO-9035 and to restore the
network settings of the host computer.
Tip You can also access these settings by opening the Start menu,
entering cmd.exe, and entering ipconfig in the command window that
launches.
g) Wait at least one minute.
2. Configure IP Settings on the controller in MAX.
a) Launch MAX on the host computer.
b) Expand Remote Systems in the configuration tree and locate your system.
Tip MAX lists the system under the model number followed by the serial
number, such as NI-CRIO-9035-1856AAA.
4| ni.com | NI cRIO-9035 User Manual
c) Select the Network Settings tab near the bottom of the window.
d) Select Static on the Configure IPv4 Address control.
e) Enter values for IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server based on
the information you recorded. Be sure to enter a value for IPv4 Address that is not
used by another device on the network. For example, do not use the IP address
usually assigned to the host computer.
f) Click Save and let MAX restart the cRIO-9035. The cRIO-9035 disappears from
under Remote Systems and does not reappear until you restore the original network
settings to the host computer.
g) Restore the original network settings to the host computer.
h) Return to MAX and refresh Remote Systems.
Configuring Startup Options
Complete the following steps to configure the cRIO-9035 startup options in MAX.
1. In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
2. Select the Startup Settings tab to configure the startup settings.
cRIO-9035 Startup Options
You can configure the following cRIO-9035 startup options.
Table 1. cRIO-9035 Startup Options
Startup Option Description
Force Safe Mode Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on starts the cRIO-9035
without launching LabVIEW Real-Time or any startup applications. In
safe mode, the cRIO-9035 launches only the services necessary for
updating configuration and installing software.
Enable Console
Out
Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on redirects the console output
to the RS-232 serial port. You can use a serial-port terminal program to
read the IP address and firmware version of the cRIO-9035. Use a null-
modem cable to connect the RS-232 serial port to a computer. Make sure
that the serial-port terminal program is configured to the following
settings:
• 115,200 bits per second
• Eight data bits
• No parity
• One stop bit
• No flow control
Disable RT
Startup App
Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on prevents any LabVIEW
startup applications from running.

Startup App
Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on prevents autoloading of any
FPGA application.
Enable Secure
Shell (SSH)
Logins
Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on starts sshd on the
cRIO-9035. Starting sshd enables logins over SSH, an encrypted
communication protocol.
Note Visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code openssh for
more information about SSH.
LabVIEW
Project Access
Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on enables you to add the
target to a LabVIEW project.
Enable
Embedded UI
Rebooting the cRIO-9035 with this setting on enables the embedded UI,
which allows you to interact with the front panels of VIs running on the
cRIO-9035 using input and display devices connected directly to the
cRIO-9035. You can also browse and edit files on the cRIO-9035 within a
graphical working environment. For more information, refer to the Using
the Embedded UI to Access RT Target VIs topic in the LabVIEW Help.

Caution The C terminals are internally connected to each other, but are not
connected to chassis ground. This isolation is intended to prevent ground loops and
does not meet UL ratings for safety isolation. You can connect the C terminals to
chassis ground externally. Refer to the specifications on ni.com/manuals for
information about the power supply input range and maximum voltage from
terminal to chassis ground.
If you apply power to both the V1 and V2 inputs, the cRIO-9035 operates from the V1 input.
If the input voltage to V1 is insufficient, the cRIO-9035 operates from the V2 input.
The cRIO-9035 has reverse-voltage protection.
