Connecting via Hub, Switch or Similar device
When connected to the host machine via a hub, switch, or other similar
device, or directly using a crossover cable, the board must communicate with
the host computer to establish a connection. The host computer continually
broadcasts the next available IP address to the board until the
Conquest Protocol Suite software starts.
When the software starts, the system may prompt if you want the software to
automatically use the offered IP address or use an assigned IP address. (The
assigned IP address must be on the same network segment as the host
computer.) The menu also allows you to save the selected option (automatic
or specific address). If the assigned IP address is not available, the OS
notifies you of an IP address conflict.
After you click OK, the software searches for all boards connected to the
network and displays a list of available boards. After you select a board, the
software assigns the IP address to the selected board, completing the
connection, and launches the software.
Operating in Simulation Mode
The system operates in Simulation Mode as default if the hardware is not
detected. However, you can operate in Simulation Mode directly without
installing the Analyzer hardware. To operate without hardware, select
Hardware Not Installed (Simulation Mode).
The Analyzer software launches and displays the tool bar, but with the
limitation that the Analyzer operates on static, previously captured bus data.
Limitations
The Simulation mode lets you try all of the available functions, but keep in
mind that the system is not capturing any real data and is displaying
pre-captured results.
