From the Bootloader menu, select option 2 to start the Web Server demonstration.

Description

In this demonstration, an Ethernet-controlled GPIO interface application uses the ML501
board as a Web server. A remote host, such as a computer running a Web browser, can
communicate with the ML501 board using the Ethernet to read the value of the ML501
board's DIP switches or to set the LEDs on the board. Refreshing or reloading the remote
computer's Web browser causes the background color to change and the current DIP
switch values to be re-read. By default, the IP address of the ML501 board is 1.2.3.4, but it
can be changed by recompiling the software.

Connect an Ethernet cable (straight or crossover) from your host computer to the
ML501 board.
Note:
The Ethernet PHY chip on the ML501 board has an auto-crossover feature.
Configure the remote computer host's IP address to 1.2.3.9 (Subnet mask can be
255.0.0.0).
Note:
Record the previous network settings so they will be easier to restore after the lab. The
screen shots and icon names might be slightly different depending on your computer's operating
system version.
