15.Repeat steps 5 - 9 again (the last component will now successfully be installed).

Upgrading the NI Controller Firmware via IP

1.Follow the procedures outlined within the Communicating with the NI Device via an IP section on page 31 to connect to the target NI device via the Web.

2.After NetLinx Studio has established a connection to the target Master, click the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).

3.Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system. The communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.

4.After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the PC and the NI unit, verify that the device appears in the OnLine Tree tab (FIG. 28) of the Workspace window (ex: NI-3101). This entry is different than that of the NI Master, which uses a device value of 00000 (see below):
