How to change IP address on USRP2920?

[pixus]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change IP address on USRP 2920?

I tried with USRP utilities, and it doesn't bring any result.

Can anyone tell me what means to "power cycle the device"?

Thanks,

Pixus

Hi Pixus,

The NI-USRP Configuration Utility is what you need to change the IP address.  Under the Change IP Address tab, select the device that you want to change.  It will then auto populate the Selected IP Address section.  Next, fill in the New IP Address field.  Before you hit the Change IP Address button, click on your device again and verify that it is highlighted and blue like in this image:

After you have verified that your device is selected, hit the Change IP Address button.  "Power cycle the device" means to turn the device off and then back on again.  This allows the settings that you have changed in the device EEPROM to be set and the new settings will be recognized upon reboot.

I have already done that and it didn't bring any result. Ip was 192.168.10.2 and i change it to 192.168.10.3, and after power cycling the device, ip remains 192.168.10.2. Do you know what can i do? Is there some other way to change ip?

Hi Pixus,

You can also use one of the UHD utilities that ships with the NI-USRP driver to change the IP address.  If you go to Start » All Programs » National Instruments » utilities, you will find the usrp_burn_mb_eeprom.exe.  Open a command prompt in the utilities folder.  You can then change the IP address by using this:

C:\...\utilities> usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --key=ip-addr --val=192.168.10.xxx

putting whatever IP address you want for val.  You will need to recycle power after running this command prompt for the change to take place.  You can read back the IP address by running:

C:\...\utilities> usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --key=ip-addr

to verify that your IP address was written correctly.
