Additional Information
The unconfigured state of the cRIO-9012/9014 implies that the cRIO has recently reset its IP settings to default. When you reset the controller, the IP address, subnet mask, DNS address, gateway, and Time Server IP are set to 0.0.0.0, which is not a valid IP address. Hence, the system will not allow further configuration before it has been assigned a proper IP address.
When assigning a static IP address, it is important that the IP address of the remote system is contained within the same subnet as the host PC. To check the current IP configurations of your host PC you can use the command prompt. Open the command prompt and type in the command
ipconfig
This will provide you with information about your host PC's Ethernet adapter settings. Note the IPv4 Address and Subnet Mask.
Use the same subnet mask as your host. Then chose an IP address for your cRIO. For a subnet mask of for example 255.255.255.0, the first three numbers in the target IP address must match the PC's IP address. For 255.255.0.0, the first two numbers in the IP addresses must be the same.
