Connection to cRIO in project takes about 3 min!

[Armen]

Hi all,

I have a real-time application running inside of  NI cRIO-9035. Everything works fine, but when  I right-click on target and chose to "Connect" in pop-up window I see:

"Initializing...

Calculating dependencies...

Checking items for conflicts. This operation could take a while...

Preparing items for download. This operation could take a while..."

Finaly it connects after ~3min!

Why it so slow,  what could be wrong there?

Thank you in advance for help.

Armen,

How do you have your cRIO connected to your computer? If  you connect over USB rather than ethernet, do you still see the same behavior?

Hi Matt,

thanks for reply. It's connected via Ethernet port 1. I have prepared a spare controller cRIO-9068 and set it in the same environment (rather big experiment network with more than 70 different clients): same story, full functionality and no problem with control and datataking. But connection takes again 2,5-3 minutes. Then I took a first controller (cRIO-9035)  to my test-stand with few controllers. Now it's connecting within 3 seconds! Thats looks very strange. I have lot of compact FieldPoint controllers in the big setup - they are connecting without problem in few seconds.

Cheers

Ok, I've fixed the issue.

After setting gateway and DNS, it connects in a secondl.
