The following instructions refer to the connection cable provided by X2E. If you use other ca-
bles, connect accordingly.

Plug the connection cable into the socket (B) .

Connect the cable labelled OABR to the ECU or any other OABR or 100/1000Base-
T1 device.

To use the sleep/wake mode, connect the cable labelled CAN to a CAN bus.

Plug a standard Ethernet cable into the socket (K) .

Connect the Ethernet cable to a PC, switch or datalogger.
Requirements for the DC power supply
The DC power supply must provide a continuous current of 150 mA. Use a
regulated power supply or the vehicle battery and pay attention to the re-
quired voltage and current levels.

Connect the black cable labelled KL31(GND) to 0 V or ground.

Connect the red cable labelled KL30(Ubatt) to a DC power supply in the specified
range.

Ensure that all connectors are firmly attached and tighten the screws where possible.

Turn on the power supply.
The converter indicates its readiness by green illumination of the general status LED (D) . As
soon as data is received at the 100/1000Base-T1 or the Ethernet interface, the data is con-
verted accordingly and sent in the opposite direction.
Energy management
The Automotive Ethernet Converter features an intelligent energy manage-
ment that reduces the current consumption depending on a connected CAN
bus.
To activate the sleep/wake mode, DIP switch (I) No 3 needs to be in top po-
sition.
If there is no activity on the CAN bus within a configurable number of sec-
onds (see chapter
Configuration and firmware update ), the converter
switches into sleep mode. If there is activity again, it wakes up back to
standard operating mode.
