## Tutorial

### Preparation

1. Standard POE Protocol Ethernet Swtich X1

2. W5500 Ethernet with POE Mainboard X1

3. Micro USB cable X1

4. RJ45 network cable X2

### Step 1

Connect W5500 Reset pins: Connect A-RST pin to D11. (Default: Connected) ![DFR0342_A-Rst.jpg](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFRobot/DFRobotMediaWikiImage/master/Image/DFR0342_A-Rst.jpg)

### Step 2

Plug one end of the ethernet cable to W5500 mainboard, another end to any LAN ports of the Ethernet Switch, or you can use normal Internet switch or router device to directly connect to a PC's network interface (the module needs to be powered up here). ![Connection 1](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/nobody/wiki/c9d457db76cd43a362928f2e7765214e.png)

### Step 3

Connect the W5500 mainbord to a computer with a USB cable. ![Connection 2](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/nobody/wiki/b0ff4111d0e550f4614f0e42e800e961.png)

### Step 4

Download the WIZnet official Arduino library?[here](https://github.com/Wiznet/WIZ_Ethernet_Library). Unpack the downloaded file and then, place the Ethernet file under Arduino IDE 1.0.x or Arduino IDE 1.5.x in the libraries file of Arduino IDE according to your Arduino IDE version (overlap the original Ethernet library). Open Arduino IDE editor, find WebServer example in File->Example->Ethernet and open it.

1. Download the W5500 Ethernet library?[here](https://github.com/Wiznet/WIZ_Ethernet_Library)

2. Replace the existing Ethernet library according to your Arduino IDE version:

![Arduino IDE 1.0.X](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFRobot/DFRobotMediaWikiImage/master/Image/DFR0342_IDE_1.0.x.png)?![Arduino IDE 1.5.X](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFRobot/DFRobotMediaWikiImage/master/Image/DFR0342_IDE_1.5.x.png) **NOTE**: Good news! You can use arduino IDE v1.7 from Arduino.org that has "Ethernet 2" library, which works with this board. It means you don't have to download any modded libraries. Thank for the Vladimir Akopyan comments. Welcome to share your projects and comments on the Disqus.

### Step 5: Pin Definitions

**Note: These parts should be declared at the beginning of the sketch.** 1. Define W5500 SPI “SS” pin and “Reset” Pin:

```
#define SS     10U    //D10----- SS
#define RST    11U    //D11----- Reset
```

2. Setup function

```
void setup() {
pinMode(SS, OUTPUT);
pinMode(RST, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SS, LOW);
digitalWrite(RST,HIGH);  //Reset
delay(200);
digitalWrite(RST,LOW);
delay(200);
digitalWrite(RST,HIGH);
delay(200);              //Wait W5500
```

### Example

Open Arduino IDE, Select Boards -->Arduino Leonardo and COM port

```cpp
/*  Web Server

 A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
 using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.

 Circuit:
 * Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
 * Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)

            int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
            client.print("analog input ");
            client.print(analogChannel);
            client.print(" is ");
            client.print(sensorReading);
            client.println("<br />");
          }
          client.println("</html>");
          break;
        }
        if (c == 'n') {
          // you're starting a new line
          currentLineIsBlank = true;
        }
        else if (c != 'r') {
          // you've gotten a character on the current line
          currentLineIsBlank = false;
        }
      }
    }
    // give the web browser time to receive the data
    delay(1);
    // close the connection:
    client.stop();
    //Serial.println("client disconnected");
  }
}
```

Copy

### Check that it works

Open the Arduino Serial Monitor to initialize the setup and you will see some information about the connection processing. Open your browser, input the IP address and you should get see data of 5 virtual analog pins: ![W5500IE](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/nobody/wiki/b96b48610e7bba0ddeae4d0dc53a393b.jpg)
