2.2.4 Step 3 – Setting up the Ethernet communication
The following chapter describes the set-up of the Ethernet communication. Before moving on, you
must decide if you want to use either DHCP
5
or fixed addressing. With DHCP, the IPC@CHIP
retrieves a valid IP configuration from a DHCP server. With fixed addressing, you define the IP
address, network mask and an optional gateway
6
.
The default configuration for the IPC@CHIP is DHCP since this will ensure that the IPC@CHIP adapts
to an existing network if this network has a DHCP server. If you do not have a DHCP server, the
IPC@CHIP will not disturb the operation of your network. We cannot ship with a fixed IP configuration
since we have no knowledge of your network configuration.
a) DHCP IP configuration: (default setting)
In a network supporting DHCP the DK50 retrieves a valid IP configuration from a DHCP server
automatically.
Connect the DK50 to your Ethernet network hub or switch with a standard twisted pair cable. Press the
Reset button (8) of your DK50. On the terminal window (HyperTerminal) you will see the output from
the start-up procedure. Here you will see the serial number, @CHIP-RTOS version, build date and
other start-up information. If an IP configuration could be successfully received from the DHCP server,
this IP configuration will be displayed at the end of the start-up output messages. In the event of an
error, the message “DHCP request failed” will be output after a timeout of several seconds.
