Connecting The Emulation Probe To A Lan - HP E3456A User Manual

NOTE:

Connecting the Emulation Probe to a LAN

The emulation probe communicates with a debugger (running on a PC
or UNIX workstation), or with the HP 16600A/16700A-series logic
analysis system, via a local area network (LAN). So, the first thing to do
when installing an emulation probe is to set its LAN parameters.
There are two ways to set the emulation probe's LAN parameters:
• By connecting an ASCII terminal (or a PC or UNIX workstation running
terminal emulation software) to the emulation probe's serial port and by
using the emulation probe's built-in terminal interface. This is the most
reliable method.
(This type of connection is also used when running the complete set of
emulation probe performance verification tests. Other use of the serial
port and the terminal interface is not supported.)
• By using a BOOTP server running on the LAN. BOOTP is part of the
HP-UX, SunOS, and Solaris operating systems.
What type of LAN connection must I use?
The emulation probe has two LAN connectors:
• A BNC connector that can be directly connected to an IEEE 802.3 Type
10BASE2 cable (ThinLAN). When using this connector, the emulation
probe provides the functional equivalent of a Medium Attachment Unit
(MAU) for ThinLAN.
• An IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE-T (StarLAN) connector.
Use either the 10BASE2 or the 10BASE-T connector. Do not use both. The
emulation probe will not work with both connected at the same time.
What are LAN parameters?
You must assign an IP address (Internet address) to the emulation
probe before it can operate on the LAN. You also set the gateway
address. (The emulation probe automatically sets a subnet mask based
on the subnet mask used by other devices on the network.)
