	It is important to carefully push in (or pull out to disconnect) the iC5 power supply connector plastic sleeve into the BlueBox, as it features a locking mechanism.

Connecting the BlueBox and PC

BlueBox can be connected to a PC via:

•USB 2.0/3.0. - Recommended, fast connection, higher bandwidth

•TCP/IP - Remote operation, shared BlueBox hardware, Continuous Integration pipeline

	To configure the TCP/IP connection, the BlueBox has to be temporarily connected to the PC via a USB cable.

number1

Connect via USB.

•Ethernet and the USB port may look similar. Make sure you connect the USB cable to the correct port.

•If only one BlueBox is connected to the PC via the USB then the Device field can be left empty (recommended). This way if exchanging the BlueBox with another, changing the communication settings is not required.

•If you have more BlueBoxes connected to the PC, USB is selected in the Device drop-down menu.

	When the BlueBox is connected to the USB port of PC for the first time, Windows will detect a new device and may prompt you for the driver for it. Go to troubleshooting section if you experience USB driver issues.

number2

(optional) Configure the TCP/IP connection on the BlueBox and winIDEA side.

•BlueBox - Via the Hardware | Debugger Hardware | Hardware Type | System Configuration. By default, the TCP/IP settings are obtained automatically from a DHCP server on the network. If such a server is not available, the settings can be set manually.

•winIDEA - Set IP address in three ways:

oSN number - Type in '#' and SN number, which can be found on the bottom of the BlueBox.

oAutomatic Discovery - Check the Use global discovery on UDP port 58371 and select suitable BlueBox via its serial number.

oManual Configuration - Enter IP address as entered in the BlueBox in the IP addr field.

	To be able to easier identify your own BlueBox, you can specify an unique port number (the number can be any number between 1024 and 65535, that is not already used on your network for other purposes – note that on the other hand more debuggers can have the same port number), uncheck the Use global discovery option, and enter the port number, if the correct one is not entered already.

Connecting the Grounding wire

With this step you set set the BlueBox and Target to the same potential.

Warning_orange

If the grounding wire is not connected, the ground potential difference between the BlueBox hardware and the Target can exceed well over 1000V even before any of the devices are powered up.

This voltage difference is discharged over the BlueBox hardware and the Target, potentially leading to the destruction of electronic components within both the BlueBox hardware and the Target.

The Grounding wire connector pin is located on the front panel of the BlueBox and is marked with "GND."
