GUI DETAILED OVERVIEW
BOARD DISPLAY SHOWING CONNECTED
EVAL-ADIN1300FMCZ HARDWARE
In the
Select Local
section (see Figure 12), a unique hardware
identifier is shown for each MDIO interface dongle connected
to the PC. In the example shown in Figure 13, there are two
MDIO interface dongles connected to the same PC (the
A62UK21O and AL2YSWGN).
The Ethernet PHY software GUI can only communicate with
one MDIO interface dongle at a time. To choose which MDIO
interface dongle is addressed as the local board in this section,
click the appropriate device identifier to select and highlight it.
All register controls, displayed link properties, and local board
information in other sections of the GUI apply to the selected
device connected to the MDIO interface dongle.
