Verifying NI-XNET Hardware Installation

The NI MAX Configuration tree Devices and Interfaces branch lists NI-XNET hardware (along with other local computer system hardware), as shown in the following figure.

NI-XNET Hardware Listed in MAX

If the NI-XNET hardware is not listed here, NI MAX is not configured to search for new devices on startup. To search for the new hardware, press <F5>.

To verify installation of the NI-XNET hardware, right-click the NI-XNET device and select Self-Test. If the self-test passes, the card icon shows a checkmark. If the self-test fails, the card icon shows an X mark, and the Test Status in the right pane describes the problem. Refer to Troubleshooting and Common Questions for information about resolving hardware installation problems.
