Quick Setup #3 (DS2155 T1E1)
Install jumpers to place the serial interface in T1E1 mode as shown in
Figure 1.Complete the hardware configuration and one of the basic DS33Z11 configurations as previously described.
Launch ChipView.exe (or use existing session if its already open) and select Register View. When prompted
for a definition file, pick the file named DS33Z11.def. After the definition file loads, go to the File menu and
select File→Memory Config File→Load .MFG file. When prompted, select the file named basic_config.mfg.
Load the definition file for the DS2155 by going to the file menu and selecting File→Definition Config File and
select the definition file named DS2155.def. After the definition file loads, go to the File menu and select
File
→Reg Ini File→Load Ini File. When prompted, pick the file named e1_gapclk_crc4_hdb3_nocas.ini.
Place a loopback connector at the DS2155 network side; RLOS LED DS35 should go out.
At this point any packets sent to the DS33Z11 are echoed back. Incoming packets (i.e., ping) should cause the
ACT LED to blink.

ACT LED to blink.
5. Monitor and Capture Ethernet Traffic
Although ping is mentioned, it is *not* recommended. The ping command goes through the computer’s TCPIP
stack, and sometimes will not be sent out the PC’s network connector (i.e., if the PCs’ ARP cache is out of
date). Additionally ping requires two PCs, as a PC with only one adapter can not ping itself (a local ping gets
sent to ‘local host’ instead of out the connector). With that said, ping is still a valuable test once the prototyping
stage is complete.
Generation and capture of arbitrary (raw) packets can be easily accomplished using CommView. A time-limited
demo is available at the website www.tamos.com/products/commview.
Wireshark is an excellent (and free) packet capture utility. Download is available at www.wireshark.org.
Adding additional Ethernet ports to a PC is rather simple when a USB-to-Ethernet adapter is used. This allows
for end-to-end testing using a single PC. When using two adapters the PC will have a different IP address for
each adapter. Test equipment will allow selection of either adapter. Operating system based network traffic will
be sent out the default adapter, usually this is the adapter that has recently had connection to a live network.
