Ethernet Connection; Simple Network Setup - Apache Labs ANAN-200D User Manual

Ethernet Connection

ANAN must be connected directly to a dedicated Ethernet port on the host PC or to a port on a suitable Ethernet
router or switch. Connection to a dedicated Ethernet port is shown above
For direct connection of ANAN to a dedicated Ethernet port, a CAT 5 Ethernet cable is used. Note that a
'crossover' cable is not necessary.
Note: The Ethernet switch must be capable of operating in full duplex mode at 1000 baseT[Gigabit]. The
initial release of ANAN FPGA code operates at 100 baseT, but future releases will run at 1000 base-T [Gigabit]
speeds. For this reason, a 100 baseT Ethernet switch may be used in the interim, but if a new purchase is
planned then a 1000 baseT [Gigabit] switch is recommended.
An Ethernet "HUB" will not work properly and is not recommended.

Simple network setup

The OpenHPSDR ANAN Transceivers are designed to work via Ethernet cabling on [a] "Local Area Network" or
[b] directly connected to your Windows PC. Ethernet simplifies the installation, and configuration of hardware
and software, making the installation basically "plug and play". No sound card interface wiring, no Firewire
cards or drivers, no USB ports or drivers are needed. It just works!
For the most basic network, you don't need any external hardware other than an Ethernet cable
between your Windows PC LAN port and your Transceiver's LAN port.
The ANAN Transceivers are setup to ask for a "DHCP" network address or an APIPA address [discussed
in Appendix below]
