Unpacking Your Device
The NI ELVIS III workstation and the NI ELVIS III Prototyping Board ship in antistatic
packages to prevent electrostatic damage. Electrostatic discharge can damage
several components on the NI ELVIS III hardware.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

To avoid such damage in handling the workstation and prototyping board, take the
following precautions:
■Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object.
■Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis before
removing the workstation or prototyping board from the package.
Remove the hardware from the package and inspect it for loose components or any
sign of damage. Contact NI if the hardware appears damaged in any way.
Store the workstation and the prototyping board in the antistatic envelopes when
not in use.
Tip Go to Installing and Powering the Hardware next.
Installing and Powering the Hardware
Before you set up and use the NI ELVIS III device, ensure that you have the required
items listed in the What You Need to Get Started section.
1. Ensure that the power switch at the back of the NI ELVIS III workstation is
switched o.
2. Connect the power supply.
3. Connect the Wi-Fi antenna and/or relevant cables based on the following:
a. For initial configuration and launching of the So Front Panels without
network access or programming, start with Connecting to the Device via
USB.
b. For Ethernet connection configuration, start with Connecting to the
Device via Ethernet.
c. For wireless connection (Wi-Fi models only) configuration, start with
Connecting to the Device via Wireless Network (Wi-Fi models only).
Note The USB cable is also required for the initial
configuration of the wireless network.

a. Power supply cable
b. Device USB cable (required for initial configuration)
c. Ethernet cable (optional connection)
d. Wi-Fi antenna (Wi-Fi models only)
4. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet and switch on the power switch at the
back of the NI ELVIS III workstation.
5. Ensure that the application board power button on the workstation is turned
o. The integrated LED in the power button should not be lit.
6. Install the NI ELVIS III prototyping board (or compatible application boards) as
shown in the following figure:

NI ELVIS III Getting Started
a. Position the opening in the NI ELVIS III prototyping board over the
application board mounting bracket.
b. Slide the edge connector of the NI ELVIS III prototyping board into the
receptacle on the workstation and ease it into place.
7. Secure the NI ELVIS III prototyping board to the workstation using two M4
mounting screws as shown in the following figure:

8. Power on the application board power button on the workstation. The
integrated LED in the power button should be lit. The four Fixed User Power
Supplies LEDs on the prototyping board should also be lit.
Notice When you turn on your device and connect it to the network,
certain device data (serial number, device ID, MAC address, IP address,
Hostname, used hardware and soware versions) is transmitted in
encrypted format to NI. This information will be deleted aer you remove
your device from the network, for example, by turning it o or switching
o the Ethernet or Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi models only) functionality. The only
exception is when the device is configured for infinite lease time and/or
infinite grace period, in which case the serial number and device ID will be
stored for this purpose only. Accessing the above data is necessary to
establish the connection and transmit communication between the
devices connected to the Measurements Live network and the instrument
so front panels in Measurements Live, access to which is provided with
the product. NI does not store or use this data for any other purposes.
Because the above information, in particular the device ID, may be
available for others connected to the network, providing any personal
information by setting your device ID or otherwise will be at your sole risk
and responsibility. NI is not responsible for the behavior of any other
device users connected to the network. If you do not want to share the
above data with others in the Measurements Live network, you should not
use the network functionality of your device. You can still use your device
with your computer through a USB connection.
Tip Go to Connecting the Device to Your Host Computer next.
Connecting the Device to Your Host Computer
You can connect the NI ELVIS III to your host computer using one of the following
methods:
■ Connecting to the Device via USB
■ Connecting to the Device via Ethernet

NI ELVIS III Getting Started
■ Connecting to the Device via Wireless Network (Wi-Fi models only)
Connecting to the Device via USB
Complete the following steps to use a USB cable to connect the NI ELVIS III from the
USB device port to your host computer.
1. Connect the Type-C to Type-A USB 2.0 cable to the NI ELVIS III as shown in the
following figure:
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the host computer.
Notice Ensure that the host computer is powered on before
connecting the USB cable.
If the connection is successful, you can see the IP address of the USB connection on
the OLED display of the NI ELVIS III aer you install the Measurements Live Support
Files. Press and hold the user programmable button (Button 0) on the le-hand side
of the NI ELVIS III workstation until you turn on the display. The IP address of the
USB connection appears aer the icon.

Note The device does not need an ID when connected via USB. The OLED
display returns ID not available when you connect the device via USB
only.
Tip Go to Setting up the Host Computer to set up the soware
environment.
Tip Go to Configuring the Device if you need to upgrade the soware on
the device or set up an administrator password.
Connecting to the Device via Ethernet
Complete the following steps to use an Ethernet cable to connect the NI ELVIS III to
your host computer.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the NI ELVIS III as shown in the following figure:
2. Ensure that the Ethernet cable is connected to a router that is set up correctly.
