In addition to these main sections, the Appendix provides hardware-related details that supplement the schematic.
Only users with complex evaluation/development requirements need the information in the Advanced Features
section and the Appendix.
BASIC OPERATION
Hardware Configuration
Connecting a Daughter Card. Plug the daughter card into one of the DK2000’s connectors. The daughter card
should be oriented as shown in
three. The third connector, which is optional, is for advanced features (UTOPIA bus, POS-PHY bus, etc). The
DK2000 is compatible with both two-connector and three-connector daughter cards, and supports the advanced
features available on the third connector. Note that daughter cards are not designed for hot insertion. Only connect
daughter cards to the DK2000 platform with the power off.
Power Supply Connections. The DK2000 operates from an external power supply brick. Plug the brick into an AC
power outlet and into the DK2000’s power supply jack. The on/off switch for the board is next to the power supply
jack. Just after power is applied to the board, the RESET LED glows green and the slot 1 LED glows red. A few
seconds later, after the boot routine completes, slot LEDs turn green for slots where daughter cards are recognized
and red where daughter cards are not present.
Connecting to a Computer. Connect a standard DB-9 serial cable between the serial port on the DK2000 and an
available serial port on the host computer. The host computer must be a Windows
a standard straight-through cable rather than a null-modem cable. Null-modem cables prevent proper operation.
Installing the ChipView Software
To install the demo software on the host PC, run SETUP.EXE on the demo kit CD-ROM (or from the .ZIP file
downloaded from our website, www.maxim-ic.com/telecom). Follow the instructions given by the SETUP program.
By default, SETUP installs the application software in “C:\Program Files\ChipView” and creates a shortcut in the
ChipView program group.
Running the ChipView Software
Run the ChipView application. If the default installation options were used, click the Start button on the Windows
toolbar and select Programs®ChipView®ChipView. The main menu window provides three options: Register
View, Demo, and Terminal Mode. Register View mode and Demo mode are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Terminal mode is discussed in the Advanced Features section.
Register View Mode
Register View provides an intuitive user interface for reading, writing, and viewing the IC registers on the daughter
card. Register bytes and bits are displayed by name in an on-screen array. Values can be read or written with a
click of the mouse.
To go to Register View from the ChipView main menu window, follow these steps:

appears next. Select the appropriate port from the menu and click OK. Next, the Definition File
Assignment window appears. This window has subwindows to select definition files for each of
the four daughter card slots on the DK2000 board.
to find a file in another directory. Typically, definition file names contain the device name, e.g.,
DS2155.def. Some daughter cards ship with multiple definition files. Refer to the daughter card
data sheet for detailed information on the use of the various files.
