TCP/IP F
EATURES
Chapter 5 discusses using the TCP/IP features on the BL2600
and BL2610 boards. The TCP/IP feature is not available on
BL2610.
5.1 TCP/IP Connections
Before proceeding you will need to have the following items.
•
If you don’t have Ethernet access, you will need at least a 10Base-T Ethernet card
(available from your favorite computer supplier) installed in a PC.
•
Two RJ-45 straight through Ethernet cables and a hub, or an RJ-45 crossover Ethernet
cable.
The Ethernet cables and Ethernet hub are available from Z-World in a TCP/IP tool kit.
More information is available at www.zworld.com.
1. Connect the AC adapter and the programming cable as shown in Chapter 2, “Getting
Started.”
2. Ethernet Connections
If you do not have access to an Ethernet network, use a crossover Ethernet cable to con-
nect the BL2600 to a PC that at least has a 10Base-T Ethernet card.
If you have Ethernet access, use a straight through Ethernet cable to establish an Ethernet
connection to the BL2600 from an Ethernet hub. These connections are shown in Figure 21.
