Interfacing to Automotive Ethernet (BroadR-Reach / 100BASE-T1)
The AP1200A can be used to monitor and transmit on a BroadR-Reach
(100BASE-T1) Automotive Ethernet network, with the help of a device that
changes the BroadR-Reach PHY into the standard 10/100 Ethernet PHY used by
the AP1200A. Keysight provides an affordable tool for this exact purpose, called
the APM0100E 100BASE-T1/Ethernet Media Converter.
shows the AP1200A connection diagram of
illustrate a typical Automotive Ethernet application. Connect the RJ-45 jack on
the AP1200A network interface cable to the APM0100E's RJ-45 jack using a
standard Ethernet cable. Then, connect the BroadR-Reach ECU or network to the
APM0100E's Molex Mini50 connector on the other side of the converter. Power
provided for the APM0100E is via the USB host slot on the AP1200A. This feature
allows the AP1200A to power the APM0100E on or off as needed.
