Once i connected and powered-up the LadderDIP IV i can check if the module is working properly following the listed operation

 

Connect the Ethernet cable supplied in the starter-kit from the LadderDIP IV Ethernet Port to your PC

 

Remember to configure your PC Ethernet port with the necessary IP address and SUBNET mask.

 

For example, if you LadderDIP IV device respond to the address "192.168.5.52" (Factory setting) you have to assign an IP address to your PC in the same subnet (i.e. 192.168.5.91) and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

 

NOTE: After power up the module requires about 6 seconds to be active, during this period no answers will be given on Ethernet Port

 

The module communicates with the PC using the Ethernet connection. The module communicates at 100mbps
From your PC execute, using a command prompt, the following command

 

 

ping 192.168.5.52

 

 

If everything is ok the module will answer to the ping request

 

 

ld4_ping

 

After these checkings the module is properly powered and connected
