Why do you need to set the DIP to on to download the code? I have downloaded C++ code to the robot with this switch in the off position and it worked with no problems.
Same here. The only time I have ever had to fiddle with DIP switches are when flashing the cRIO.

Edit: Just wanted to point out, make sure that when crimping the cables, the wire ends are fully inserted and have contact with the end of the plug, and you do a FIRM crimp. We did CAN last year, and so many CAN cables failed due to a bad crimp.
