Setting up the Ettus USRP N210

Changing the IP Address
The USRP N210 comes with a default IP address of 192.168.10.2 which may be changed (e.g. 192.168.1.13):
sudo /usr/local/lib64/uhd/utils/usrp2_recovery.py --ifc=em1 --new-ip=192.168.1.13


Increase Socket BUffers
sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf

# Increase buffers for USRP
net.core.rmem_max=50000000
net.core.wmem_max=50000000


Realtime Priority
sudo vi /etc/security/limits.conf

# Add for USRP realtime priority
myusername - rtprio 99

Will require re-login
