1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes how to install a PPP (point-to-point) connection for the
DNP/5280 on a Windows-PC. For further information about the individual components
of this product you may follow the links from our website at http://www.dilnetpc.com.
Our website contains a lot of technical information, which will be updated in regular
periods.
1.1 Hardware Requirements
The following hardware is needed to install a PPP connection on the DNP/5280:
• One PC with Windows XP and two unused COM ports
• One Evaluation Board (e.g. EVA6) with mounted DNP/5280 and two COM ports
• One plug-in power supply (5 VDC)
• One Ethernet cross-over cable
• Two null modem cables
1.2 Software Requirements
• dnp5280-ppp-winxp.tar.gz (Starter Kit CD directory CD:\uClinux\ppp)
• Tftpd32 (download from http://tftpd32.jounin.net)
Tftpd32 is a small TFTP server and client software. It is needed to transfer the dnp5280ppp-winxp.tar.gz to the DNP/5280. Tftpd32 works without installation, just run the
tftpd32.exe. Tftpd32 is freeware.

Setup the serial links between the Evaluation Board and your PC. Use the null modem
cables for these connections.
The first serial link is for communication between the DNP/5280 and your PC via
HyperTerminal. Connect one end of null modem cable #1 with the COM1 port of your
PC. Connect the other end with the COM1 port of the Evaluation Board.

The second serial link creates the PPP connection between the DNP/5280 and your PC.
Connect one end of null modem cable #2 with the COM2 port of your PC. Connect the
other end with the COM2 port of the Evaluation Board.
Please make sure that the PC COM ports support 115.200 bps and are unused.
