Connecting via Ethernet
You can connect an expansion box to your host PC via Ethernet. In this
case, the expansion box is treated as a network client. Both the host
and client require a network adapter to establish communication. The
expansion box with Ethernet connection is delivered with a slot CPU
with a built-in 10baseT (twisted pair, 10 Mbit/s) network adapter.

If you want to install new dSPACE boards such as the DS1006 in an
expansion box connected via Ethernet, contact dSPACE to check the
slot CPUās compatibility with the new boards.
After connecting the expansion box to the host PC via net cable, you
have to set up the Ethernet connection. Refer to Setting Up an
Ethernet Connection Between PC and Expansion Box on page 67.
