Configuring the cRIO-9065
You can connect the cRIO-9065 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-9065 to the Host Computer or
Network Using Ethernet
Complete the following steps to connect the cRIO-9065 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-9065 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-9065 attempts to initiate a DHCP network connection the first time you
connect using Ethernet. The cRIO-9065 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-9065 on the Network (DHCP)
Complete the following steps to find the cRIO-9065 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-9065-1856AAA.
Configuring Startup Options
Complete the following steps to configure the cRIO-9065 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-9065 Startup Options
You can configure the following cRIO-9065 startup options.
Table 1. cRIO-9065 Startup Options
Startup Option Description
Force Safe Mode Rebooting the cRIO-9065 with this setting on starts the cRIO-9065
without launching LabVIEW Real-Time or any startup applications. In
safe mode, the cRIO-9065 launches only the services necessary for
updating configuration and installing software.
Enable Console
Out
Rebooting the cRIO-9065 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-9065. 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-9065 with this setting on prevents any LabVIEW
startup applications from running.

Startup Option Description
Disable FPGA
Startup App
Rebooting the cRIO-9065 with this setting on prevents autoloading of any
FPGA application.
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 after a reset, and
will enter predefined states once loaded.
Enable Secure
Shell (SSH)
Logins
Rebooting the cRIO-9065 with this setting on starts sshd on the
cRIO-9065. 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-9065 with this setting on enables you to add the
target to a LabVIEW project.
