-By default, this project creates a custom wireless Ethernet link between two computers, each attached to a WARP kit (FPGA board + clock board + radio board).  Each computer is unaware that a wireless link is present, and simply communicates with its neighbor using a standard wired connection.  The WARP boards are "inserted" between the two computers to provide a transparent wireless bridge.  The following diagram gives a simple overview of the configuration used for this example.

 Since two local computers will be connected to each other, there will not be a DHCP server available to supply IP addresses to each of them.  In this scenario, the computers must have their IP addresses hard-coded.  Furthermore, the two computers must reside within the same subnet.  The following addresses and subnet masks are just one example of acceptable settings for this demo:
 
-   - COMPUTER 1 IP ADDRESS = 192.168.0.16,
-   - COMPUTER 2 IP ADDRESS = 192.168.0.17,

 Switch the Master Power Switch for each FPGA board to the ON state.
-Configure the FPGA boards using either 1) a compact flash card containing the demo program, or 2) a USB cable connected between the FPGA board and a computer running the Xilinx iMPACT software application.  The laboratory exercise titled [http://warp.rice.edu/trac/wiki/Exercises/FPGABoardIntro INTRODUCTION TO THE WARP FPGA BOARD] provides a brief introduction to the iMPACT software application, including required cable connections.  For configuration using a compact flash card, simply insert and the card from the appropriate slot on each FPGA board.

+Once the first FPGA boars has been configured, the compact flash card may be removed for configuration of the other board.  Before removing it, however, verify proper configuration by examining the board's 7-segment LEDs.  The one closer to the user DIP switches should display the value programmed into the switches -- either "0" or "1".
