1.6 Hardware and Software Requirements
You will need a small amount of support hardware to make use of your RAD-Galaxy:
•
A vehicle network, either within an actual vehicle or in a test bench environment.
•
A DC power supply capable of providing 5V to 40V of DC power, with a nominal current
of 1.5A at 12V. Your network setup must include wiring capable of providing this power
on pin 25 of a female DB-25 connector; see Chapter 6 for pinout details.
•
A PC with an available Gigabit Ethernet port. Note that backward compatibility to slower
Ethernet ports is supported, but 100 Mb/s Ethernet does not provide sufficient capacity
for transmitting and receiving high-speed BroadR-Reach traffic on multiple links.
•
Cables and/or connectors to connect to the BroadR-Reach nodes in your Automotive
Ethernet network.
•
A crimping tool to attach wires to the provided crimp contacts and secure them within
the Nano MQS plug housings. See Chapter 3 for more details.
Additional cables may also be needed, depending on the nature of the network to which the
RAD-Galaxy is being connected.
