Hi fellow programmers
I think it's not possible but i will ask just to be sure. If is it possible to implement the TCP/IP protocol using Mikroe Serial Ethernet Board?
If not why not what is exactly the problem?
Serial Ethernet Board and TCP/IP protocol
Hi,
Yes it is possible to implement communication using TCP/IP protocol with Serial Ethernet Board. Only limitations you might face with our Ethernet library, but which are only temporary are:
1. Temporarily unsupported full TCP/IP stack
2. Temporarily unsupported TCP Client implementation
3. Because of no packet fragmentation support, packet cannot exceed 1518 bytes, so you have to find a way to send bigger HTML in several requests
This is being worked on, and new library will include support of these features.
Best regards,
Aleksandar

Hi,
I'm sorry for not offering all the answers you are looking for and for not presenting you all advantages of our library. You can use our great working examples for TCP/IP communication:
1. basicRealm - Basic demonstration of library and chip features
2. ethV2_demo - Advanced timer with on-line update from time server and displaying time on LCD
3. http_demo - Great demo of HTTP server with web page controls for toggling PIC PORT LEDs, and displaying the result of A/D conversion and PORT button presses.
These examples provide you with great starting point for future programming, with out-of-the-box solutions for UDP and TCP Server, with additional UDP client implementation. userTCP() routine can be used for processing incoming TCP packets and our examples provide you with a great demonstration of how to utilize many benefits of TCP server running on microcontroller.
Best regards,
Aleksandar
