target device to the Ethernet network hub. With both the development workstation and target
device connecting to the same Ethernet hub, the network traffics between them are not filtered.
Development Environment Setup with Static IP
It’s possible to establish a CE 6.0 development environment with Static IP addresses. Here are two
scenarios for setting up the development environment using static IP addresses:
Local Area Network without DHCP Service
The development workstation and target device are connected to the same Local Area Network
or an Ethernet Hub, without DHCP service, as shown in Figure 3.

Local Area Network without DHCP
Direct Connection using Cross-Over RJ-45 Ethernet Cable
Connectivity can be established by attaching the target device to the development workstation
directly, using a cross-over RJ-45 Ethernet cable and proper static IP addresses configuration, as
shown in Figure 4.

Static IP Addresses
Without DHCP service to assign IP addresses dynamically, the target device and development
workstation must be configured with appropriate static IP addresses in order to establish
connectivity.
To establish connectivity to the target device, both the development workstation and target
device must be configured with static IP addresses within the same subnet.
Refer to appendix G for more information about using static IP addresses.
