6 RabbitLink (EG2110)
By default, the RabbitLink will try to get an IP address using DHCP. (DHCP is a protocol
to automatically assign IP addresses to computers when they are booted.) The network
addresses may be changed using the RabbitLink serial console. Please see Appendix 2.2,
“Configuring RabbitLink Network Parameters from your PC,” for more information.
If your PC is not connected to a network you may create a network using a hub or you may
use a crossover Ethernet cable to make the connection directly from you PC’s Ethernet
adapter to the RabbitLink card. If you are already connected to a network it may be neces-
sary for the network administrator to assign an IP address to be used by the RabbitLink.
1.4.3 Passphrase Protection
Every time Dynamic C initiates a new RabbitLink session, the RabbitLink requests a pass-
phrase from the user to ensure the security of the programs and data on the remote boards.
This passphrase is stored by Dynamic C during that session so it only needs to be entered
the first time Dynamic C contacts the RabbitLink gateway. For security reasons, Dynamic
C does not store the passphrase on the hard disk of the PC.
