    1. I NTRODUCTION Z-World’s Wi-Fi Add-On Kits allow embedded system integra- tors to add Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) to an existing embedded con- trol system that uses a RabbitCore or PowerCore module based on the Rabbit ® 3000 microprocessor. Wireless connectivity eliminates Ethernet cables, allowing for the greater flexibility and mobility associated with wireless embedded networks.

  • Page 6: Wi-Fi Add-On Kits

    All Wi-Fi development involving the Wi-Fi Add-On Kits is done using version 9.21 or later of Z-World’s Dynamic C. A Dynamic C upgrade CD is included with the Wi-Fi Add- On Kits to allow you to upgrade your existing Dynamic C installation prior to installing the software from the supplementary CD-ROM in the Add-On Kits that contains the Wi-Fi sample programs and drivers.

    2. G ETTING TARTED This chapter explains how to set up and use a RabbitCore or PowerCore module based on a Rabbit 3000 microprocessor with an Interposer Board from the corresponding Wi-Fi Add-On Kit. NOTE: To use a Wi-Fi Add-On Kit, you must already have a RabbitCore or PowerCore module based on the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor, the Prototyping Board for that Rab- bitCore or PowerCore module, a programming cable, and Dynamic C.

  • Page 10: Install Dynamic C

    To develop and debug programs for RabbitCore or PowerCore modules (and for all other Z-World and Rabbit Semiconductor hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C. If you have not yet installed Dynamic C, do so now by inserting the Dynamic C CD from the Development Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive.

  • Page 11: Hardware Connections

    2.2 Hardware Connections There are four steps to connecting the Prototyping Board for use with Dynamic C and the sample programs: 1. Insert the Interposer Board between the RabbitCore or PowerCore module and the Prototyping Board. 2. Use the ribbon cable from the Wi-Fi Add-On Kit to connect the Interposer Board to the Com- pactFlash Wi-Fi Board with a Wi-Fi CompactFlash card installed.

    LANs. Wi-Fi (802.11b) is one of the most common and cost-effective implementations currently available. This is the implementation that is used with Z-World’s Wi-Fi Add-On Kits. A variety of Wi-Fi hardware exists, from wireless access points (WAPs), various Wi-Fi access devices with PCI, PCMCIA, CompactFlash, USB and SDIO interfaces, and Wi-Fi devices such as Web-based cameras and print servers.

    4.3 Configuration Information 4.3.1 Network/Wi-Fi Configuration Any device placed on an Ethernet-based Internet Protocol (IP) network must have its own IP address. IP addresses are 32-bit numbers that uniquely identify a device. Besides the IP address, we also need a netmask, which is a 32-bit number that tells the TCP/IP stack what part of the IP address identifies the local network the device lives on.

    Once the PC or notebook is set up, we're ready to communicate. You can use Telnet or a Web browser such as Internet Explorer, which come with most Windows installations, to use the network interface, and you can use Hyperterminal to view the serial port when these are called for in some of the later sample programs.

    4.6 Helpful Hints 1. When an access point/ad-hoc host is turned off after a Wi-Fi CompactFlash card has joined it, the Linksys WCF12 card will remain in the “joined” state and will wait for the access point/ad-hoc host to become alive again. This may require cycling of the MAC interface to find a new access point using the following code sequence.
