PT-Link Hardware Connection
You have two options for connecting the PT-Link to your PC via Eth-
ernet:
1.) You may connect the PT-Link directly to your PC by using
a crossover cable (by others) as shown. See Figure 3 for
details.
2.) You can also connect both your PC and the PT-Link to an
Ethernet Hub with standard CAT5 cables. See Figure 4
for details.
Locate a CAT5 cable and plug one end into your computer’s Ethernet
port (use a crossover cable if connecting directly to the PT-Link).
If connecting directly, plug the other end of the Cable into the Ethernet
port on the PT-Link. If connecting through an Ethernet Hub, plug the
other end of the PC cable into the hub, and use a second CAT5 cable
to connect the PT-Link to the hub as well.
Power up the PT-Link by plugging in the power cable. The PT-Link
may take up to three minutes to power up completely. Once the PT-
Link is powered up, you should notice that the green “GPI05” LED
light on the ProtoCessor Board remains on continuously. See Figure
19 on page 12 for a diagram showing the location of the ProtoCessor
“GPI05” LED.
Computer IP Address Set-up for
Windows 98, NT, and XP
In order for the PT-Link to communicate properly, it is imperative to
set the IP address of both the PT-Link as well as the computer to be
within the same netmask. You need to change the IP address on your
computer. The following instructions will explain how to confi gure
the IP address for Microsoft
® Windows 98 and Microsoft ® Windows
NT and XP computers.
Computer IP Address Set-up for
Windows 98
1.) From the Windows START button select Start->
Setting->Control
panel.
2.) Double click on the Network icon.
3.) In the Confi guration window, select the TCP/IP entry.
4.) Select Properties and go to the IP Address tab.
5.) Select Specify an IP address and then enter the
following information:
a.) IP Address 192.168.1.5
b.) Netmask 255.255.255.0
6.) Select OK until the network confi guration program exits.
7.) You might have to reboot the computer before the IP
address is valid.
