6.1 TCP/IP Connections
Programming and development can be done with the PowerCore FLEX modules without
connecting the Ethernet port to a network. However, if you will be running the sample
programs that use the Ethernet capability or will be doing Ethernet-enabled development,
you should connect the PowerCore FLEX module’s Ethernet port at this time.
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
• Two RJ-45 straight through Ethernet cables and a hub, or an RJ-45 crossover Ethernet
The Ethernet cables and a 10Base-T Ethernet hub are available from Rabbit Semiconduc-
tor in a TCP/IP tool kit. More information is available at www.rabbit.com.

There are four options for connecting the PowerCore FLEX module to a network for
development and run-time purposes. The first two options permit total freedom of
action in selecting network addresses and use of the “network,” as no action can inter-
fere with other network users. We recommend one of these options for initial develop-
ment.
No LAN —
Core module’s Ethernet port directly to the PC’s network interface card using an RJ-45
crossover cable. A crossover cable is a special cable that flips some connections
between the two connectors and permits direct connection of two client systems. A
standard RJ-45 network cable will not work for this purpose.
Micro-LAN —
Ethernet 10Base-T hub and connect both the PC’s network interface card and the
PowerCore module’s Ethernet port to it using standard network cables.
