Getting Started V1.0
In the main window you can see all IPC@CHIP
®
s that could be found on the network. The
table displays information such as serial number, name, IP configuration and RTOS version.
The main menu provides functionality such as the terminal and an FTP client which you will
need later on in the Getting Started process.
The following graphic shows only part of the main window.
The IPC@CHIPTOOL comes along with a detailed help. Simply press F1 in the main window
for further information.
If you’re running a firewall, make sure that it does not block any network functions of
IPC@CHIPTOOL such as Telnet, FTP or the scanning for IPC@CHIP
®
s.

Step 3 – Setting up communication
There are basically three ways to connect your DB54 to your PC: the serial interface, Ethernet
and USB.
The simplest connection type is the serial interface. Preferably use it to get access to the shell
of your IPC@CHIP
®
.
Ethernet communication is the most powerful. It may be used to access the shell via Telnet
and it’s the easiest way to transfer files to the IPC@CHIP
®
via FTP.
USB is an alternative to the serial interface. It provides nearly the same facilities as the serial
interface. Use it if your PC does not dispose of a serial interface. For USB connectivity a
separate software driver (
USBTERM.EXE
) is needed on the IPC@CHIP
®
. This driver should
already be preinstalled on the DB54 at factory setting. Setting up USB communication is
described later in chapter 2.7 of this document.
