Introduction
The 100BASE-T1 Media Converter easily connects 100BASE-T1 (BroadR-Reach
(TM)
) and
100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) networks. Using the USB interface, it supports reading and writing of
the PHY settings of both network links, diagnostic and status information, and firmware update.
Power can be supplied via the USB connector (5V) or via the main connector (6V-28V). The power
supply seamlessly switches between both sources. The 100BASE-T1 master and slave roles can
be assigned using a DIP switch. Moreover, the Media Converter features software controlled
automatic role switch on the 100BASE-T1 link.
