I had problems with getting the Tower start-up demo to communicate via Ethernet. It was unresponsive to a ping at its reconfigured IP addresss (192.168.1.40). I configured all the necessary macros to no avail. Stepping through code everything appeared to be ok but still nothing.
I recalled that we had a problem with a previous product of ours in which either the IP stack or the Ethernet driver had a bug, I don't recall which, that prevented communications at 10 Mbps. I was using an old 10 Mbps hub in order to capture network traffic (via Wireshark) which a more sophisticated switch would avoid sending toward the PC hosting the packet analyzer. I switched out the 10 Mbps hub with a 100 Mbps switch and retried the ping. The ping was successful. So it appears the MQX RTCS code may not support 10 Mbps Ethernet or is there perhaps a jumper on the Tower Serial board that needs to be reconfigured or have I missed a macro defining 10 Mbps operation somewhere?
Has anyone else had problems with 10 Mbps operation of Tower or MQX RTCS code?
