Basics on 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.
Objective
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 network adapter.
If you want to install new dSPACE boards such as the
DS1103 in an expansion box connected via Ethernet,
contact dSPACE to check the slot CPU’s compatibility with
the new boards.
Preconditions
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 81.
