Hardware installation
The Kvaser Ethercan HS may be inserted into 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 HS to communicate with the host
computer, a compatible version of the Kvaser driver and firmware must be
installed. After the driver has been installed on the host computer, the firmware
may then be downloaded and installed on the Kvaser Ethercan HS.
The latest version of the driver and firmware can be downloaded
from www.kvaser.com/download.

Network connector
The Kvaser Ethercan HS has a standard shielded RJ45 socket (STP) ethernet
connector, see Figure 2. Connect the Kvaser Ethercan HS to your network or
directly to your PC for first time configuration. For more information on how to
configure the Kvaser Ethercan HS see Section 4, How to use the Kvaser Ethercan
HS, on Page 12.
