Usage examples
The following examples show how PixieMAC can be used.
HyperTerminal terminal emulator available in Microsoft Windows to communicate with PixieMAC.
Application software interfacing with PixieMAC should treat it as a COM port. Since data flow is
asynchronous and unpredictable, data transmission should not block data reception and vice versa. For
Microsoft Windows programming, for example, it is vital that overlapped file I/O be used.
Note that data are expressed little-endian, i.e. multi-byte values need to be interpreted in reverse-byte
order. For example 940D represents the word value 0x0D94.
Presence Detection
The presence of PixieMAC can be checked by issuing a version number request:
Setting MAC Address
If presence detection generates an error indicating the MAC address is not set, the MAC address should
be set.
Note that the MAC address is specified Little-Endian, i.e. the MAC address specified in the example
would normally be written as 0015C83841000006. The MAC address is stored in non-volatile
memory and only needs to be set once.
You may only use a MAC address which you have been assigned. If you do not have a MAC address
allocation, contact FlexiPanel Ltd.
Disabling Timeouts
If you’re evaluating PixieMAC by typing in commands, life will be a lot easier if you disable timeouts,
so you’re not in a rush to type instructions. Caution, however – you must still respond when required
rather than issuing another instruction, otherwise the stack will get in a mess.
