RAD-Star Configured for Active Tap Operation.
We have used two Intrepid Ethernet Experimentation and
Evaluation Boards (EEVBs) as example ECUs here, for the purpose of illustration; these can be seen in the foreground,
attached to the RAD-Star. The component in the background on the left acts as a power supply.

Hardware Setup - Media Converter
Configuring the RAD-Star as a media converter involves the same basic process outlined in
the active tap description above, but the omission of the Ethernet switch makes this setup
considerably simpler. As before, you can make the connections in any order, and we assume
that you have already made or modified any necessary cables per the directions in Section
6.
The hookup diagram to use the RAD-Star as a media converter can be found in Figure 15.
The “ghosted” connections reflect the fact that the ECU and PC can be connected to either the
MASTER
/
BR MSTR
pair of ports, or the
SLAVE
/
BR SLAVE
pair.
