IP Address on cRIO-9075

[Raugh]

I have a cRIO-9075 that is used as spare/backup for one of our production test systems.  I was going to try out some new code on this backup but I can not connect to it.  I've searched for it in MAX and tried to ping the IP address that it should be but I get no response from it.  It was setup with a static IP address so it would be ready to be deployed if needed.

Is there anyway I can reset it to a default IP address so I can connect to it?

Take a look at page 17 of the 9075 User manual: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375650b.pdf

To reset the IP address of the 9075 you will need to walk through the following steps: 

1. Hold the Reset button down for 5 s, then release it. The Status LED
turns on, then starts blinking three times every few seconds. The
chassis is now in safe mode with output from the serial port enabled.
You can use a serial port terminal to read the IP address of the
controller. If you want the controller to attempt a new DHCP
connection, proceed to step 2.

2. Hold the Reset button down for 5 s, then release it. The Status LED
repeats the same behavior. The cRIO-9075/9076 attempts to establish
a new DHCP connection. If it fails, it assigns itself a link-local
IP address. If the DHCP connection is successful and appropriate for
your application, skip to step 4.

3. Configure the IP and other network settings in MAX.

4. Press and release the Reset button to reboot the chassis.
