DMC-3425 Chapter 4 Communication 57
Using Third Party Software
Galil supports ARP, BOOT-P, and Ping, which are utilities for establishing Ethernet connections. ARP
is an application that determines the Ethernet (hardware) address of a device at a specific IP address.
BOOT-P is an application that determines which devices on the network do not have an IP address and
assigns the IP address you have chosen to it. Ping is used to check the communication between the
device at a specific IP address and the host computer.
The DMC-3425 can communicate with a host computer through any application that can send TCP/IP
or UDP/IP packets. A good example of this is Telnet, a utility that comes with most Windows
systems. In the absence of the Galil Windows Terminal software, the Telnet terminal may be used for
communication with the DMC-3425 Ethernet controller. The Windows Hyperterminal may also be
used for communication.
