Dallas already has several Ethernet app notes, including

• ftp://ftp.dalsemi.com/pub/tini/appnotes/AN700/
• ftp://ftp.dalsemi.com/pub/tini/appnotes/NetSwitch/
• ftp://ftp.dalsemi.com/pub/tini/appnotes/AN196/

This app note will be the simplest possible app note to open a TCP socket and transmit a "Hello World" string. The client and server are both written entirely in Java, so both can be run on either TStik, or the PC.

Instructions on how to use these programs can be found in the javadocs.

All the files needed to run this program are in Ethernet.zip The following ant target was used to create this file:

<jar destfile="Ethernet.zip">
<fileset dir="classes" /><!-- This needs to be in the root so the jar can be used in a classpath. -->
<fileset dir="." includes="src/**/*"/><!-- source files and app note for the SPI app note -->
<fileset dir="." includes="doc/**/*"/><!-- Javadocs -->
<fileset dir="." includes="build.xml"/><!-- Ant build file -->
<fileset dir="." includes="note.txt"/><!-- html app note file. -->
<fileset dir="." includes="RunClient.bat"/><!-- Batch file used to run the client program on a PC. -->
<fileset dir="." includes="RunServer.bat"/><!-- Batch file used to run the server program on a PC. -->
<fileset dir="." includes="tiniload/**/*"/><!-- pre-built tini programs and the required native library are in this directory -->
</jar>

A great example of a user Ethernet application is Tynamo, a web server and servlet 2.2 container written by Shawn Silverman. It can be downloaded for free at http://tynamo.qindesign.com/
