Connecting your PC to the Binloop
There are two ways in which the Binloop software can interface to the
Binloop from your PC:
1. Ethernet
2. RS-232 Serial
Connecting with RS-232 Serial
If your PC is not equipped with
an RS-232 serial port, you can
use a USB-to-Serial adapter.
Just make sure that the
adapter will support “Mark-
Space Parity” operation.
For a list of USB-to-Serial
adaptor manufacturers that
support this protocol visit
www.alcorn.com and use our
Knowledge Base.
The Binloop software can communicate with the Binloop through a PC
Serial Port via a 9-pin straight-through serial cable (included with the
unit). Before this can happen, you must first connect the serial cable
between a serial port on your PC and the
Programmer port of the
Binloop.
Once you make this connection, you are ready to use the Binloop
software to program and communicate with the your Binloop.
Connecting with Ethernet
Ethernet is also a common method of interfacing the Binloop software to
the Binloop. This requires a PC to be connected to the Binloop directly,
or over a network, using a CAT5 (or better) rated Ethernet cable. When
the Binloop has a good network connection, the green Link LED will
illuminate.
Beyond a good physical connection, Ethernet communication requires
properly configured network settings on both the Binloop and your PC.
Although Ethernet network design and administration is beyond the
scope of this manual, we have provided a step-by-step guide in this
manual that will walk you through connecting directly to the Binloop over
Ethernet using the Binloop’s default settings. Please refer to the
Application Notes section if you would like more information on this.
