Controller Startup Options

You can configure the following cRIO-903x startup options.

Table 24. cRIO-903x Startup Options
Startup Option Description
Force Safe Mode Rebooting the cRIO-903x with this setting on starts the cRIO-903x without launching LabVIEW Real-Time or any startup applications. In safe mode, the cRIO-903x launches only the services necessary for updating configuration and installing software.
Enable Console Out Rebooting the cRIO-903x 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-903x. 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-903x with this setting on prevents any LabVIEW startup applications from running.
Disable FPGA Startup App Rebooting the cRIO-903x with this setting on prevents autoloading of any FPGA application.
Enable Secure Shell (SSH) Logins Rebooting the cRIO-903x with this setting on starts sshd on the cRIO-903x. 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-903x with this setting on enables you to add the target to a LabVIEW project.
Enable Embedded UI Rebooting the cRIO-903x with this setting on enables the embedded UI, which allows you to interact with the front panels of VIs running on the cRIO-903x using input and display devices connected directly to the cRIO-903x. You can also browse and edit files on the cRIO-903x 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.
