3.2.1 Interface Selection Switch The emulator PC4701U allows you to specify one of three types of interfaces for communication with the host machine as listed below. (1) LAN interface (2) USB interface (3) LPT parallel interface The interface selection switch is used to specify the type of communication interface available. The setting of the interface selection switch is checked to see the available type after the emulator PC4701U is powered on or you press the system reset switch. Figure 3.
3.2.7 Break-Event Output Connector The break-event output cable (Figure 3.5) is an 8-pin cable and is included with the emulator PC4701U package. It carries the break and event signals output from the break-event output connector. Signals are output at TTL (74F244) level. The break signal is output as a low level signal when break conditions are established. The event signal is output at high level for the duration that the event (No. 1 to 6) designated as the break point factor is maintained. Table 3.
3.2.8 External Trace Signal Input Connector The external trace signal input cable is a 12-pin cable and is included with the emulator PC4701U package. It is connected to the external trace signal input connector and carries trace signals input from an external point. The external trace signal can also be used as the external trigger break factor. Input the external trace signal as a TTL level signal. Table 3.5 gives pin assignments of the external trace signal input connector. Table 3.

Chapter Setup 4 IMPORTANT This chapter describes how to connect the emulator PC4701U with your host machine and emulation pod. For details on how to install the emulator debugger M3T-PDxx, refer to the emulator debugger M3T-PDxx User's Manual (Online Help). This chapter also explains the emulator PC4701U's self-check and the procedure for setting up its interface. Before you run the self-check, you must have the emulation pod.
4.1.1 Connecting by LAN Interface To connect the emulator PC4701U by use of a LAN interface, you need to register some network information such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a port number, etc. in the emulator PC4701U in addition to the ordinary setup information. There are following two ways to setup and to register the network information. • Using the emulator debugger M3T-PDxx • Using the utility SETIP.
Important If the LAN interface is used as the PC4701U communication interface, it is necessary to acquire an IP address of the PC4701U. For details, contact your network administrator. Important To register network information, shut power to the PC4701U off and restart. The registered information is activated by restarting the PC4701U. Important The PC4701U cannot communicate with more than one host machine at a time. It communicates with the first host machine it connects to.
Important If you've already used IP address 39.40.41.43 in a local area network, you cannot use this procedure. Carry out "Using the emulator debugger M3T-PDxx" (P.28). Important If the LAN interface is used as the PC4701U communication interface, it is necessary to acquire an IP address of the PC4701U. For details, contact your network administrator. Important To register network information, shut power to the PC4701U off and restart. The registered information is activated by restarting the PC4701U.

4.3 Downloading Firmware 4.3.1 When It is Necessary to Download Firmware It is necessary to download firmware when: (1) you have set up the emulator PC4701U for the first time. (2) you have upgraded the firmware. (3) you have upgraded your emulator debugger. (4) you have changed your emulator debugger. (5) you have changed your emulation probe. If downloading the firmware is not completed in the cases below, redownload the firmware as described in 4.4.2.
4.4 Self-check IMPORTANT The self-check is a function to check the memory and other conditions of the emulator PC4701U's internal circuit boards. This function can only be executed after the emulator PC4701U is connected to an emulation pod. If you use the emulation pod with the emulator MCU method, make sure that the target system is powered on and that the emulator MCU is supplied with the power and clock before you can actually run the self-check function.
