Problem connecting cRIO-9072 to the computer

[rarun7]

We have to connect the cRIO-9072 to the computer remotely through a wireless medium. We have a fixed and dedicated IP address so that the network connected to the computer can talk to the cRIO in the remote location wirelessly. However, we are unable to connect the cRIO to the computer. There is no problem in connecting the cRIO to the computer through Ehternet cable physcially but when made wireless the  computer no longer recongnises the cRIO. 

What could be the solution to this issue ?

Wireless network IP is on a different subnet from the wired IP and the communication from PC to cRIO is not routing from one subnet to the other?

[rarun7]

yes they are on differernt subnets. But It should recognize the hardware since setup has been made to connect automatically.

Hi rarun7,

If your cRIO is on a different subnet than your computer, there can be a few issues in connecting to it.  I would recommend ensuring that the subnets match on both the computer and the cRIO.  If your cRIO is still not showing up in Measurement and Automation Explorer (NI MAX) after the subnets match, please refer to the document I have provided below.  Hopefully, some of the suggestions in the document will allow you to achieve a connection!
