The Embedded Internet Toolkit Board
Connections to the
Toolkit
To use the Toolkit, an Ethernet connection is required, either through a network or
directly to a PC.
The Ethernet interface connector is of standard RJ-45 type. Plug the Ethernet cable
directly into the Toolkit to connect to the Ethernet network or PC.
Setting Up and
Testing the Ethernet
Connection
The descriptions below explain how to connect the Toolkit to an existing Ethernet net-
work or directly to a PC if a network is not available, then how to test either connection.
The PC is Not Connected
to Network
If the PC is equipped with an Ethernet network card but not connected to a network (see
Figure 2), a local network address should be used for communication between the
Embedded Internet Toolkit and the PC. The Embedded Internet Toolkit is shipped with
the default IP address 169.254.111.111. This address is in the address area reserved
for local networks not connected to the Internet. For direct connection between the PC
and the Toolkit, a crossover Ethernet cable is required. The yellow Ethernet cable pro-
vided with the Toolkit is a crossover cable.
