16.3.2 Software Installation
For installing and starting-up an RTC6 Ethernet Board
and its software proceed analogously as with
RTC6 PCIe Boards, Chapter 5 ”Installation and Start-
Up”, page 88. However, step 3, page 88 does not
apply:
RTC6 Ethernet Boards do not require the RTC6 board
driver.
16.3.3 Connecting to a Network
Connect the RTC6 Ethernet Board with the desired
network segment and switch on the supply voltage.
The green LED at the ETH connector, see
Chapter 16.2.7 ”ETH Connector”, page 887, should
now light up and possibly blink.
If no static IP address is stored on the RTC6 Ethernet
Board, a DHCP server is necessary to obtain a dynamic
IP address. In this case the yellow LED should light up
after a few seconds. This indicates a successful receipt
of an IP address.
If in “Force DHCP position” (as of BIOS 24) no
IP address has been assigned within 60 seconds after
Power-On, then the link-local address 169.254.1.0/16
is automatically used.
If a static IP address is stored on the RTC6 Ethernet
Board, the yellow LED immediately lights up after
switching on the RTC6 Ethernet Board.
Important: it is possible that the IP configuration
stored on the RTC6 Ethernet Board is invalid for the
connected network segment. In this case the yellow
LED lights up as well. However, the RTC6 Ethernet
Board is unresponsive in the network.
