Before Getting Started: Connecting the CVS-1450 Device to a Network
Use a standard CAT-5 or CAT-6 Ethernet cable to connect the CVS-1450
device to an Ethernet network.
device to an Ethernet network.
If the development computer is already configured on a network, you must
configure the CVS-1450 device on the same network. If the development
computer is not connected to a network, you can connect the two directly
using a CAT-5 or CAT-6 Ethernet crossover cable.

Caution
To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,
do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 100 Mbps Ethernet, National
Instruments recommends using a CAT-5 or CAT-6 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable.

Subnet Considerations
To configure the CVS-1450 device, it must reside on the same subnet as the
development computer. Once the CVS-1450 device is configured, other
subnets can access and use it.
development computer. Once the CVS-1450 device is configured, other
subnets can access and use it.
To use the CVS-1450 device on a subnet other than the one on which the
development computer resides, first connect and configure the CVS-1450
device on the same subnet as the development computer. Next, physically
move the CVS-1450 device to the other subnet and reassign an IP address.
Contact your network administrator for assistance in setting up the
development computer and CVS-1450 device on the same subnet.
