Internet Board

Post by JohnCrow »

I have a couple of questions about the internet board.

1) Can the IP address be changed ?

2) The documantation shows it using a CAT5 Crossover cable to connect to the network socket on a pc. Will it work if i connect to one of the sockets on my router, and in this case do i need a crossover or standard CAT5 patch cable.

I will be using it with flowcode, does the flowcode cd have tutorials, apart from the samples that come with the free version?

Thanks

1) Yes, the IP address (and even the MAC address) can be altered quite simply via the Flowcode component's property page.

2) You need a crossover cable if connecting directly to a PC. Use a standard cable to connect to a router.

3) There is a tutorial course available on our learning centre (see near the bottom of the page):
