  • Page 5: Chapter 1. Introduction & Overview

    The Rabbit 3000 microprocessor shares its instruction set and conceptual design with the successful Rabbit 2000. The instruction set is based on the Z80/Z180, but has been adapted to be C-friendly and to allow a megabyte of code space. Rabbit processors are fast with compact code.

    A fully enabled slave port permits glueless master-slave interface with another Rabbit- based system. The slave port may also be used with non-Rabbit systems, although addi- tional logic may be required. The RCM3000 is equipped with a 10/100-compatible Ethernet port with a 10Base-T inter- face, 256K–512K flash memory and 128K–512K static RAM.

  • Page 29: Tcp/Ip Primer On Ip Addresses

    4.2 TCP/IP Primer on IP Addresses Obtaining IP addresses to interact over an existing, operating, network can involve a num- ber of complications, and must usually be done with cooperation from your ISP and/or network systems administrator. For this reason, it is suggested that the user begin instead by using a direct connection between a PC and the RCM3000 board using an Ethernet crossover cable or a simple arrangement with a hub.

  • Page 31: Ip Addresses Explained

    4.3 IP Addresses Explained IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are expressed as 4 decimal numbers separated by periods, for example: 216.103.126.155 10.1.1.6 Each decimal number must be between 0 and 255. The total IP address is a 32-bit number consisting of the 4 bytes expressed as shown above. A local network uses a group of adja- cent IP addresses.

    0090C2 followed by the code that appears on the label affixed to the RCM3000 module. For example, a MAC address might be 0090C2C002C0. TIP: You can always verify the MAC address on your board by running the sample pro- gram DISPLAY_MAC.C from the SAMPLES\TCPIP folder. RabbitCore RCM3000...

  • Page 33: Dynamically Assigned Internet Addresses

    4.5 Dynamically Assigned Internet Addresses In many instances, there are no fixed IP addresses. This is the case when, for example, you are assigned an IP address dynamically by your dial-up Internet service provider (ISP) or when you have a device that provides your IP addresses using the Dynamic Host Configu- ration Protocol (DHCP).

  • Page 34: Placing Your Device On The Network

    You can either place the RCM3000 directly on the Internet with a real Internet address or place it behind the firewall. If you place the RCM3000 behind the fire- wall, you need to configure the firewall to translate and forward packets from the Internet to the RCM3000. RabbitCore RCM3000...

  • Page 35: Running Tcp/Ip Sample Programs

    4.7 Running TCP/IP Sample Programs We have provided a number of sample programs demonstrating various uses of TCP/IP for networking embedded systems. These programs require you to connect your PC and the RCM3000 board together on the same network. This network can be a local private net- work (preferred for initial experimentation and debugging), or a connection via the Internet.
