Chapter 5 discusses using the Ethernet TCP/IP features on the
BL4S200 boards. Ethernet is
not
available on BL5S220 and
BL4S230 models, which have wireless network interfaces.
5.1 TCP/IP Connections
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.
•
Two RJ-45 straight-through CAT 5/6 Ethernet cables and a hub, or an RJ-45 crossover
CAT 5/6 Ethernet cable.
The CAT 5/6 Ethernet cables and Ethernet hub are available from Rabbit in a TCP/IP tool
kit. More information is available at
www.rabbit.com
.
1. Connect the AC adapter and the programming cable as shown in Chapter 2, “Getting
Started.”
2. Ethernet Connections
If you do not have access to an Ethernet network, use a crossover CAT 5/6 Ethernet cable
to connect the BL4S200 to a PC that at least has a 10Base-T Ethernet card.
If you have Ethernet access, use a straight-through CAT 5/6 Ethernet cable to establish an
Ethernet connection to the BL4S200 from an Ethernet hub. These connections are shown in
Figure 25.
