Direct

 

Connection

 

to

 

a

 

PC

The BH32 interface can be connected directly to a PC or laptop; however, it is 

usually necessary to use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the devices. Once 

connected, several steps are required for the PC to recognize the UDP interface 

connection. This method may be performed on any operating system which supports 

TCP/IP. 

To initialize the PC for a direct connection in Windows XP:

1. Physically connect the BH32 Ethernet interface and the PC via an Ethernet 

crossover cable.

2. Click 

Start | Control Panel

 then double-click 

Network Connections

3. Right-click the desired connection (this is usually a Local Area Connection) 

and select 

Properties

4. Select 

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

 or if there are multiples, select 

Internet 

Protocol (TCP/IPv4).

5. Click the 

Properties

 button.

6. Select 

Use the following IP address

 and enter these values:

IP address: 

10.1.0.x, where x can be any value from 1 to 254 except 100 

or 101

Subnet mask: 

255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 

Leave empty

7. Click 

OK

The BH32 interface connection should now be recognized by the PC. Cycle power 

on the BH32 device, the IP address of the BH32 will be 10.1.0.101.
