ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS
Your PICDEM.net 2 Development Board has already been programmed with the
Demo Application using the Microchip TCP/IP Stack. The on-board external data
EEPROM is also preprogrammed with the demo web site. Once it is hooked up, it is
ready to go – no further software programming is required. At this point, all that
remains is to connect to the board.
