Connecting via Hub, Switch or Similar device
When connected to the host machine via a hub, switch or other similar device or
directly using a crossover cable the Catalyst board must communicate with the host
computer to establish a connection. The host computer will continually broadcast the
next available IP address to the Catalyst Board until the Catalyst software is started.
When the software starts, the user may be prompted if they wish the software to
automatically use the offered IP address or if they wish to assign a specific IP address
(the assigned IP address needs to be on the same network segment as the host
computer). The menu also allows the user to save the selected option (automatic or
specific address). If the assigned IP address is not available, the OS will notify the
user of an IP address conflict.
After the user clicks ‘OK’ the software will search for all Catalyst boards connected to
the network, and will display a list of available Catalyst boards, after the user selects
the desired Catalyst board, the software will assign the IP address to the selected
board, completing the connection and will launch the software.
