EMBEDDED ETHERNET DEVELOPMENT KIT USER’S GUIDE
1. Overview
The Embedded Ethernet Development Kit (Ethernet-DK) provides all the hardware and software required to
develop real-world embedded Ethernet applications using the industry proven CMX Micronet™ protocol stack and
high-performance Silicon Laboratories microcontrollers. The TCP/IP protocol stack is developed specifically for
embedded processors and is freely distributed in an easy-to-use library. A TCP/IP Configuration Wizard i

Ethernet-DK 4. Network Setup The Embedded Ethernet Development Kit can be connected to an Ethernet network using a standard Ethernet cable (see Figure 4) or directly to a PC using a crossover cable (see Figure 5). Table 1 describes the benefits of using each of the connection methods. A standard Ethernet cable is included in the kit and crossover cables are available for order from the Silicon Laboratories website, at www.silabs.com. Note: Firewalls or VPN policies may need to be disabled in or

Ethernet-DK 4.1. Network Setup Procedure If using a standard cable: 1. Connect the AB4 Ethernet Development Board to an Ethernet wall outlet or to a router/switch using a standard Ethernet cable. 2. Connect a PC to the same Ethernet network using a standard Ethernet cable. If using a crossover cable: 1. Connect the AB4 Ethernet Development Board directly to a PC using an Ethernet crossover cable. 2. Configure the PC to have a static IP address. The steps below show how to configure a Windows P

Ethernet-DK 4.2. Selecting an IP Address for the Embedded System For a PC to recognize an embedded system on a network, its IP address and subnet mask need to be configured. Below are a few guidelines to follow when choosing an IP address for the embedded system. Figure 6 shows an example of a compatible PC and embedded system IP address combination. 1. Find the IP address and Subnet mask for the PC. If a Default Gateway is specified, then save this address for later use. If you are using a c

Ethernet-DK 6. Embedded Ethernet Tutorial Now that the Embedded Ethernet Development Kit hardware has been set up, the software installed, and the embedded system connected to a network, it is time to download firmware into the MCU and test its network connectivity. The Embedded Ethernet Tutorial consists of four stages of increasing functionality and will allow the user to quickly learn how to use the development kit hardware and software. 6.1. Stage 1—Basic Web Server In the first demo stage

Ethernet-DK 5. In the System Settings section of the left window, select IP Addresses. 6. In the right window, set the Source IP Address to the IP address of the embedded system. 7. If the Gateway IP Address and Subnet mask of the network are known, then fill in the addresses on the right window (see Figure 8). 8. If using the CP2200, the MAC address field is ignored. The CP2200 Ethernet Controller contains a unique factory-programmed MAC address stored in Flash memory. Figure 8. TCP/IP Confi

Ethernet-DK 6.1.3. Testing Connectivity Using PING After pressing GO, the MCU will be executing the TCP/IP stack firmware. The LEDs on the RJ-45 Ethernet connector should light up if the MCU is connected to a network. Once the network router detects the presence of the embedded system, it will be accessible from any PC connected to the same network. This usually takes a few seconds, but can take over 30 seconds depending on the size of the network. The delay is minimized if the embedded system i
