Page 3: Introduction
The control software requires a connection to the Brick-HD. This can be either RS232 via a PC COM port, or via a network using the Ethernet port. The COM port is easier to set up. Also if the processor is initially connected via a serial port it will simplify the network configuration process. -

In this mode, the IP address of the Brick-HD will be determined via the serial connection, so there is no need to further configure the PC software. It is necessary to enable IP communication on the Brick-HD however. -

4 Brick-HD IP NETWORK CONFIGURATION The processor network port is permanently enabled. It will auto-configure for 10/100BaseT and auto-sense the connection direction. It is not necessary to use a cross-over cable to connect the network port directly to a network port on a PC. The status of the Ethernet connection can be viewed from the front panel display. -

5 Brick-HD CONTROL VIA IP The Brick-HD must be configured for IP communication before attempting to connect to it using the PC control software. The easiest way of doing this is as described in the previous section. If there is no PC with a serial port available it is still possible to set-up the processors network interface. -
