What is the IP address for the new CRIO

[Mr.Trips]

We are having issues trying to get the laptop to talk to the CRIO, our Laptop is setup with the IP address of 10.31.79.6, and we try and ping the CRIO using the command prompt and Ipconfig, and we cannot get it to ping. It is not our cable or laptop because we can plug into the old CRIO and it pings out just fine. Are we missing something?

I don't believe you can ping the new cRIO's. Your cRIO's IP should be 10.31.79.2

I'd guess that the the IP defaults to something like 10.0.0.2. If that doesn't work, change your subnet to 255.0.0.0 and test an IP from each of the three IP blocks defined for private use:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

If you get on the right block, the cRIO Imaging tool should then find it, and you're all set.

...let us know what you come up with.

Use the cRIO Imaging Tool. You need to format the cRIO before being able to use it.

I believe that an unimagined cRIO uses DHCP and zero-config to choose an IP. It is discovered by the imaging tool using the nice, but finicky and slow, nisyscfg that is throwing all of the errors. It is nice because it uses a low level protocol to find and query the devices and build the list.

Depending on what software you installed and how you installed it, you may have NI Network Monitor. It helped us determine that our imaging problem was a software problem and not a networking problem.
