b) Manual IP configuration:
If your local network does not include a DHCP server, you must assign an IP address manually.
Please contact your network administrator for details about your local network. Your administrator can
give you a valid IP address setting for your network. A brief introduction to IP basics in TCP/IP
networks is given in the Appendix.
For Ethernet connection you can use two alternatives:
1. You have a network with multiple clients. The network uses hubs and/or switches. In this case,
you need a regular twisted pair Ethernet cable running from one of your hubs to the DK40.
2. You have a network consisting of only two devices (your PC and the DK40) without a hub or a
‘switch’. In this case you need a so-called ‘cross over’ twisted pair Ethernet cable.
To review or change the IP configuration, you can either access the IPC@CHIP using a terminal
program connected to the COM port of the IPC@CHIP (see chapter "Manual IP Configuration via the
Terminal"), or use the ‘CHIPTOOL’ software that communicates with the IPC@CHIP over the
Ethernet. The method using the CHIPTOOL software is described below.
The Windows application CHIPTOOL can be used to manage IPC@CHIP products. CHIPTOOL
provides network configuration and software updates of IPC@CHIPs during the development and
production process of IPC@CHIP-based products. It is also useful for third-party customers to
manage their IPC@CHIP-based products. This tool can be downloaded from the IPC@CHIP home
page: http://www.beck-ipc.com/ipc in the download area. For more details about CHIPTOOL take a
look at the integrated help documentation of the application.
Launch the CHIPTOOL software. To verify the current IP configuration, take a look at the main window
of the CHIPTOOL application. This table will show all IPC@CHIP targets it finds on this section of the
local network. The scan is repeated continuously. New devices that are switched on will be found
within seconds. The IPC@CHIP will be displayed as “not configured” if a DHCP server is not available.
