====== System design ======
===== System components wired =====
The Avionics panel needs a few premises to be used. 
  * 5V power supply over MikroUSB connector
  * Ethernet network for communication
  * automatic IP v4 address assignment via DHCP
  * Panel software

These necessary conditions can be met by the following devices:
  * USB plug-in power supply unit, USB hub with external power supply or USB port of the PC
  * Ethernet switch provides the node between the Avionics panel and the PC
  * DHCP server for automatic address assignment. A Router that provides an Internet connection and WLAN has an integrated DHCP server. This assigns IP addresses to new devices in the network. Such a router does not need an internet connection to make the DHCP function usable. Usually an Ethernet switch is integrated, which is sufficient for first tests. 
  * Alternatively, DHCP software can be installed on the Windows PC that implements such an IP address assignment.
  * [[hardware:anleitungen:ardu-panel_en:ardu-simconnect_en|SimConnect client]] or the  [[hardware:anleitungen:ardu-panel_en:ardu-xplane_en|X-Plane plugin]] serves as panel software.

===== System components Wifi (only test version) =====
Das WIFI-Panel needs a few premises to be used. 
  * 5V power supply over MikroUSB connector
  * Wifi network with WPA2 encryption for communication
  * Router with WPS function for login in WLAN and DHCP server for IP address assignment
  * Panel software

With a router that implements a wifi network, the prerequisites for communication are usually met. Routers usually have the WPS function to establish the radio connection of a new device to the router within a short period of time (e.g., 2 minutes) without having to enter the SSID and password on the device. Subsequently, the IP address assignment takes place via the DHCP function.
