Getting Started V1.0
You may now use the commands of the @CHIP RTOS’ shell. The command
DIR
will, for
example, display a list of the files shipped on your IPC@CHIP
®
.
2.4.2 Setting up the Ethernet communication
Network communication is based on the TCP/IP protocol family. To be able to operate in a
TCP/IP network, your IPC@CHIP
®
needs to be assigned a valid and unambiguous IP address
and network mask. If you cannot figure out a proper IP address and network mask for your
IPC@CHIP
®
, please consult your network administrator.
There are two ways of assigning an IP address to your IPC@CHIP
®
SC23. You may either
configure it by hand or you may use DHCP to automatically assign IP settings. Of course you
will need a DHCP server to achieve the latter.
The default configuration for the IPC@CHIP
®
is using DHCP since this will ensure that the
IPC@CHIP
®
adapts to an existing network if this network disposes of a DHCP server. If your
network doesn’t possess a DHCP server, the IPC@CHIP
®
will not disturb the operation of your
network.
If you have a regular local network with several clients, connect the DB54’s Ethernet interface
to your Ethernet hub or switch using the enclosed twisted pair patch cable (gray) and go on to
section 2.4.2.1 or 2.4.2.2 depending on how you’d like to assign IP settings to your
IPC@CHIP
®
.
If you’re not connected to a network but want to connect the DB54 directly to your PC, you
have to use the enclosed cross-over twisted pair Ethernet cable (red) to plug the DB54’s
Ethernet interface to your PC’s Ethernet interface. Then go on to section 2.4.2.2.
