Figure 24. MPC837xE-RDS Application Connections
Configure the MPC837xE-RDS board by using a web browser. Connect your PC to the LAN port of the
board (either directly or through a hub), then use a web browser to configure. TCP/IP settings must be
correct. The TCP/IP setting should be on the IP subnet of the MPC837xE-RDS.
• Set up the IP Address automatically:
— MPC837xE-RDS incorporates a DHCP server. The easiest method is to set your PC to get its
IP address automatically and correctly obtain the correct IP address, gateway, and DNS.
• Set up the IP Address manually:
— The default IP address of MPC837xR-RDS reference board is 192.168.1.1/24. Set the IP
address of the PC as 192.168.1.xxx/24, where xxx can be any number between 2 and 254, and
the set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1.
After setting the IP address, open a web browser and type address http://192.168.1.1. At the login window,
type
admin for both User name and Password. You will then arrive at the MPC837xR-RDS main page.
After that, you can review and modify the configuration as needed. For more information, refer to the
software user guide.
Besides acting as one Wi-Fi router, MPC837xE-RDS platform can also support other utilities and
applications. For details of different applications for MPC837xE-RDS, contact your local Freescale sales
