6.1 TCP/IP Connections
Programming and development can be done with the RCM3209 RabbitCore modules
without connecting the Ethernet port to a network. However, if you will be running the
sample programs that use the Ethernet capability or will be doing Ethernet-enabled devel-
opment, you should connect the RCM3209 module’s Ethernet port at this time.
Before proceeding you will need to have the following items.
•
If you don’t have Ethernet access, you will need at least a 10Base-T Ethernet card
(available from your favorite computer supplier) installed in a PC.
•
One Cat. 5 straight through or crossover Ethernet cable.
Ethernet cables and a 10Base-T Ethernet hub are available in a TCP/IP tool kit. More
information is available at
NOTE:
Although 10Base-T is the minim
um required,
10/100Base-T or 100Base-T is
recommended to allow you to work with the full speed capabilities of the RCM3209.
1. Connect the AC adapter and the programming cable as shown in Section 2.2.2, “Step 2
2. Ethernet Connections
There are four options for connecting the RCM3209 module to a network for develop-
ment and runtime purposes. The first two options permit total freedom of action in
selecting network addresses and use of the “network,” as no action can interfere with
other users. We recommend one of these options for initial development.
•
No LAN —
The simplest alternative for desktop development. Connect the
RCM3209’s module’s Ethernet port directly to the PC’s network interface card using
either a Cat. 5
crossover
cable or a Cat. 5
straight-through
cable.
•
Micro-LAN —
Another simple alternative for desktop development. Use a small
Ethernet 10Base-T hub and connect both the PC’s network interface card and the
RCM3209’s Ethernet port to it, using standard network cables.
