2 Getting Started
2.1 Connecting and Starting
You can use the following check list when installing the board in a system for the first
time and with minimum configuration.
2.1.1 Integrating the Board into a System
» Make sure that the slot in which you want to install the G233 supports an Ethernet
connection on CompactPCI Serial connector P6.
» Power down the system.
» Insert the G233 into a peripheral slot of your CompactPCI Serial system, making
sure that the backplane connectors are properly aligned.
Note: The peripheral slots of every system are marked by a circle with a plus sign behind
it on the backplane and/or at the front panel:
» Power on the system.
2.1.2 Preparing the Web Server on the Host CPU
The G233 requires the following software infrastructure on the host CPU:
 Suitable software querying diagnosis data inside the CompactPCI Serial system, e.g.
CPU temperature.
 Web server software, e.g., Apache for Linux or XAMPP for Windows.
 Web server scripting environment, e.g., using PHP, to dynamically aggregate data
and provide HTML output.
 The HTML files must include an index.html file as the start page for the G233 display
output.
2.1.3 Configuring the Host CPU
» Configure the network adapter of the host CPU:
- Static IP address: 192.168.3.60
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
» Set up the web server, e.g., Apache for Linux using the following command:
» Store your HTML files in the corresponding folder on the web server, e.g., for Linux
Apache /var/www/html/.
» Set port 8090.
» Start the web server using, e.g., the following command for Linux:
» If there are problems, check if the firewall blocks the port.
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
$ sudo service apache2 start
