Page 13: Configuring The Host Ethernet Interface
4.3 Configuring the Host Ethernet Interface Configure the host Ethernet interface with a static IP address, and set the IP address “192.168.3.200” on the host computer. If users use Ethernet adapter, please use “USB 3.0 to gigabit Ethernet adapter”. Following the steps: Choose the network adapter which is connected to the platform. - Page 14 iii. Tick the label “using the following IP Address”. Fill the IP Address with 192.168.3.200, and subnet mask with 255.255.255.0., click OK and finish IP setting process. Click the button “Configure…”, and select “Advanced” menu, change the value to turn off Ethernet energy-saving status.
- Page 15 ＊Note: Update ethernet driver to the latest version is recommend. ＊Note: If users need to use an USB to Ethernet adapter, YTTEK recommends using Realtek or Intel USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. ＊Note: If users use Ethernet adapter, please use “USB 3.0 to gigabit Ethernet adapter” and connect USB3.0 on the PC side.
