Introduction

This User Manual is intended to familiarize customers with Connect One’s Instant
Internet Evaluation Board (II-EVB-300), which is an evaluation platform for the
CO710AG Internet Controller. II-EVB-300 includes the CO710AG mounted in a
carrier module in PLCC68 form factor, a Multi-Tech SocketModem™ and a
10/100BaseT Ethernet LAN controller. An optional 10BaseT daughter board also is
available. CO710AG utilizes the AT+i

™ command set, a powerful set of Internet

protocol commands developed by Connect One to manage Internet connectivity
through a dial-up modem, wireless modem, wired LAN or 802.11b Wireless LAN
connection.

II-EVB-300 enables sending and receiving textual and binary, MIME-encoded
email messages; downloading HTML pages or files from a Web server, or items from
within a page; Web serving; as well as managing TCP or UDP socket
communications over the Internet. It also includes an FTP client, Telnet client and
Serial-to-IP routing via the SerialNET

™ mode of operation. With the II-EVB-300,

this is achieved from any device, machine or system without the need to be attached
to a PC.

Connect One, iChip, Internet Controller, AT+i, Instant Internet, and SerialNET are
trademarks of Connect One Ltd. SocketModem is a trademark of Multi-Tech Systems,
Inc.

• Connect one end of the phone cable to the II-EVB-300 (J10) and connect the
other end to the wall phone jack.

• Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the daughter board (J3) and connect
the other end to an Ethernet wall socket, Ethernet switch or hub.

• Finally, connect the II-EVB-300 to the power supply.

Installing the II-EVB-300 Utilities and Evaluation Program

II-EVB-300 enables the user to evaluate the iChip without changing anything in the
user’s current development environment. That is, using a simple terminal program on
a PC, the user can issue AT+i commands to the iChip and get responses. AT+i
commands are used to configure iChip parameter values into iChip’s flash memory
and activate Internet tasks such as email Send/Receive, Web access, sockets, FTP
sessions, etc. A full description of the AT+i protocol can be found in the AT+i
Programmer’s Manual on the release CD or on Connect One’s Web site at

http://www.connectone.com,in the Documentation section.

To aid the user to easily evaluate iChip, Connect One supplies the iChipConfig
Utility. This is a Windows-based GUI program that contains intuitive dialog boxes to
fully configure iChip, without needing to be familiar with AT+i commands. It also
contains a local iChip firmware upgrade functionality. iChipConfig utility also
supports performing specific Internet communication tasks such as sending and
receiving Emails, activating iChip’s Web sites, entering SerialNET mode, etc.

The latest iChipConfig Utility version and User Manual can be found on the release
CD or on Connect One’s Web site at

http://www.connectone.com in the Support

section. Additional information on the iChipConfig utility and its usage, may be found
in the iChipConfig Utility User’s Manual.
