Hardware installation
The Kvaser Ethercan Light may be inserted in any free Ethernet socket. If the
Ethernet socket does not support Power over Ethernet, power must be supplied on
the CAN connector. For the Kvaser Ethercan Light to communicate with the host

The firmware is downloaded and installed directly on the Kvaser Ethercan Light
and the driver is installed on the computer.
