16 MIB600 Ethernet Interface Board
16.1 Introduction
The MIB600 provides Ethernet (10/100 Base-T) connectivity to MICA2 family Motes for
communication and in-system programming. Its two standard configurations are (a) an Ethernet
Gateway for a Mote network and (b) a Mote network programming and out-band diagnostic
channel.
The MIB600CA device contains, on a 4.5”
× 2.25” platform a
 MICA2 mote 54-pin connector (J1),
 Mote target JTAG port (J12),
 TCP/IP serial server,
 In-system programmer compatible with UISP STK500,
 On-board power regulation and monitor, and a
 Power Over Ethernet (POE) power supply

16.1.1 Mote Network – Ethernet Gateway
A MICAz or MICA2 Mote running TOSBase or GenericBase is permanently installed on the
MIB600. This forms a Mote RF to Ethernet bridge.
16.1.2 Mote Network Programming and Out-Band Diagnostic Channel
The MICAz and MICA2 Motes connect to the MIB600 for UISP programming from LAN
connected host computers. Out band (non-RF) diagnostics can be forwarded from the Mote via
its UART port over the LAN to host monitor/control computers.
