TCP/IP Development Kit Getting Started

> ## 2. Hardware Connections

> Chapter 2 explains how to connect the power supply to the TCP/IP Development Board and how to connect the programming cable to your PC. Once you run a sample program to demonstrate that you have connected everything correctly, you will be ready to go on and finish developing your system.

> ### 2.1 Development Kit Contents

> The TCP/IP Development Kit contains the following items:

> - TCP/IP Development Board with 512K flash memory and 128K SRAM.

> - Demonstration Board with pushbutton switches and LEDs, used to demonstrate I/O and TCP/IP capabilities.

> - Wire assembly to connect Demonstration Board to TCP/IP Development Board.

> - Set of 4 rubber foot pads to position TCP/IP Development Board.

> - Wall transformer power supply, 12 V DC, 500 mA (included only with Development Kits sold for the North American market--overseas users will need a power supply compatible with their local mains power).

> - 10-pin header to DE9 programming cable with integrated level-matching circuitry.

> - Dynamic C SE CD-ROM, with complete product documentation on disk.

> - This Getting Started manual.

> - Registration card.

> ### 2.2 Connections

> 1. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom corners of the TCP/IP Development Board.

> 2. Connect the Programming Cable to the TCP/IP Development Board

> Turn the Rabbit 2000 TCP/IP Development Board so that the Rabbit 2000 microprocessor is facing up as shown below. Connect the 10-pin PROG connector of the programming cable to header J4 onthe TCP/IP Development Board as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to orient the red edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the connector. (Do not use the DIAG connector, which is used for a normal serial connection.) Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.

> Figure 2. Connecting Power and PC to TCP/IP Development Board

> 1. Connect Power Supply to TCP/IP Development Board

> Connect the positive lead (indicated with red heat-shrink tubing) to the PWR connector on header J7 on the TCP/IP Development Board and connect the negative lead to GND on header J7 as shown here.

> Figure 3. Power Supply Connections

> NOTE | Be careful to hook up the positive and negative power leads exactly as described. Otherwise, the TCP/IP Development board will not function.

> 1. Apply Power

> Plug in the wall transformer. The TCP/IP Development Board is now ready to be used.

> NOTE | A hardware RESET is accomplished by unplugging the AC adapter, then plugging it back in.

> ### 2.3 Where Do I Go From Here?

> We recommend that you proceed to the next chapter and install Dynamic C (if you do not already have it installed), then run the first sample program to verify that the TCP/IP Development Board is set up and functioning correctly.

> If everything appears to be working, we recommend the following sequence of action:

> 1. Run all of the sample programs described in Chapter 4 to get a basic familiarity with Dynamic C and the TCP/IP Development Board's capabilities.

> 2. A documentation icon should have been installed on your workstation's desktop; click on it to reach the documentation menu. You can create a new desktop icon that points to default.htm in the docs folder in the Dynamic C installation folder.

> 3. For advanced development topics, refer to the Dynamic C Premier User's Manual, also in the online documentation set.

> ### 2.3.1 Technical Support

> NOTE | If you purchased your TCP/IP Development Board through a distributor or through a Z-World or Rabbit Semiconductor partner, contact the distributor or Z-World partner first for technical support.

> If there are any problems at this point:

> - Check the Z-World/Rabbit Semiconductor Technical Bulletin Board at www.zworld.com/support/bb/.

> - Use the Technical Support e-mail form at www.zworld.com/support/support_submit.html.

> - Call our Technical Support center:
