Configuring the cRIO-9063
You can connect the cRIO-9063 to a host computer or network and configure the
startup options using the USB device port or the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port 1 or
port 2.
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.

cRIO-9063 Features

Connecting the cRIO-9063 to the Host Computer or Network Using
Ethernet
Complete the following steps to connect the cRIO-9063 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.
1. Power on the host computer or Ethernet hub.
2. Connect the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on the cRIO-9063 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 ).
The cRIO-9063 attempts to initiate a DHCP network connection the first time
you connect using Ethernet. The cRIO-9063 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-9063 on the Network (DHCP)
Complete the following steps to find the cRIO-9063 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 soware running on the host computer
allows connections to the host computer.
Note MAX uses UDP 44525. Refer to the documentation of your
firewall soware 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-9063-1856AAA.
Configuring Startup Options
Complete the following steps to configure the cRIO-9063 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-9063 Startup Options
You can configure the following cRIO-9063 startup options.
Table 1. cRIO-9063 Startup Options
Startup
Option
Description
Force Safe
Mode
Rebooting the cRIO-9063 with this setting on starts the cRIO-9063 without
launching LabVIEW Real-Time or any startup applications. In safe mode, the
cRIO-9063 launches only the services necessary for updating configuration and
installing soware.
Enable
Console Out
Rebooting the cRIO-9063 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-9063. 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-9063 with this setting on prevents any LabVIEW startup
applications from running.
Disable FPGA
Startup App
Rebooting the cRIO-9063 with this setting on prevents autoloading of any FPGA
application.

Startup
Option
Description
Note When you reset the cRIO-906x controller either programmatically
or by using the RESET button, you also reset the FPGA. All FPGA I/O
lines are tri-stated aer a reset, and will enter predefined states once
loaded.
Enable
Secure Shell
(SSH) Logins
Rebooting the cRIO-9063 with this setting on starts sshd on the cRIO-9063. 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-9063 with this setting on enables you to add the target to a
LabVIEW project.
