3.4 CobraNet

3.4.1 CobraNet FAQ

Q: How do CobraNet devices communicate on the network? Do they

receive an IP address?

A: CobraNet devices operate without the need for an IP address. Many

conguration applications for CobraNet devices will assign an IP ad-

dress for organizational purposes. However, CobraNet devices operate

using data channels called “bundles”. In order to connect a transmitter

and a receiver in a CobraNet network, both devices simply need to be

set to the same bundle number. There is no need for a DHCP server (a

router for example).

Q: How do I congure the bundles of the CVA100-2?

A: Bundle settings should be congured using Cirrus Logic’s CobraNet

Discovery Utility. Instructions for downloading and operation can be

found in section 3.4.2.

Q: Why is the CobraNet Discovery Utility not detecting any devices?

A: First, ensure that your computer has an IP address. If you are operat-

ing without a DHCP server (ie in a switch-only network) then you will

need to manually set an IP address in the Network Conguration sec-

tion of Windows. Next, go to Tools > Options in the top menu and

make sure the proper network device is selected in the top dropdown.

Q: Can the CVA100-2 transmit the input channels to other CobraNet

devices?

A: Yes, the CVA100-2 is designed to transmit two channels and receive

two channels over CobraNet.
