Page 5: General Description
For access to all of the features of the device, an external microcontroller is used to configure the on- board clock chip via a two wire serial bus and the VSC8514 via the MDIO bus. The GUI enables the user to read and write device registers. -
Page 6: External Refclk Option
A “Rabbit” microcontroller card is included to facilitate a software interface to the registers on the VSC8514. The controller card has a hard coded static IP address. Refer to the label on the card for the value. This address is required by the user to initiate communications via the board and the GUI. -
