Configuring the Host Ethernet Interface with a Static IP Address

The default IP address for the USRP device is 192.168.10.2.
  1. Ensure the host computer uses a static IP address.
    You may need to modify the network settings for the local area connection using the Control Panel on the host computer. Specify the static IP address in the Properties page for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
  2. Configure the host Ethernet interface with a static IP address on the same subnet as the connected device to enable communication, as shown in the following table.
    Table 1. Static IP Addresses
    Component Address
    Host Ethernet interface static IP address 192.168.10.1
    Host Ethernet interface subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Default USRP device IP address 192.168.10.2
    Note NI-USRP uses user datagram protocol (UDP) broadcast packets to locate the device. On some systems, the firewall blocks UDP broadcast packets. NI recommends that you change or disable the firewall settings to allow communication with the device.
