For Ethernet Point-to-Point hardware co-simulation, you are required to have a 10/100 Fast Ethernet, or a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on your PC. To configure the settings do the following:
- From the Windows Start menu, select
Control Panel, then under Network and Internet, click View network status and
tasks. On the left hand side, click Change Adapter
settings.Figure 1. Change Adapter Settings
- Right-click Local Area Connection,
then select Properties.Figure 2. Local Area Connection Properties
- In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, enable Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Disable everything
else.Figure 3. Internet Protocol
- Select Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4), and click Properties. In
the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) dialog box, select Use
the following IP address, and set the IP
Address to 192.168.1.11, and Subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0. Click OK.Figure 4. IP Address
- In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click Configure. Click the Advanced tab. Click Flow Control. Set
the Value to Rx & Tx
Enabled.Figure 5. Flow Control
- If you will want to speed up the Ethernet Point-to-Point hardware co-simulation by using jumbo frames (that is, packets larger than 1500 bytes), click Jumbo Packet and set the Value to the desired frame size. See Using Jumbo Frames for Point-to-Point Ethernet Hardware Co-Simulation for a description of jumbo frames.
- Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
