User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Introduction Intended use Automotive Ethernet Converter is a media converter between 100/1000Base-T1 (OABR) and 100/1000Base-T (standard Ethernet). The device is primarily designed to convert Ethernet signals between a car's ECU on one side and a PC or datalogger on the other. You may only operate the converter within the scope of the technical specifications provided in this user manual. Additionally, the use in hazardous areas is not allowed.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter General safety instructions The Automotive Ethernet Converter is only intended for use by qualified personnel. Read the user manual and especially this chapter thoroughly before operating. CAUTION Electric shock due to damaged components Damages to the converter or the connection cable can result in electric shock. Check all components regularly for damages. Only connect the converter if all components are undamaged.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Product overview Identification The identification plate is located on the bottom side of the Automotive Ethernet Converter.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Connections and controls The front side contains LEDs, the service interface and the combined connection for power, 100/1000Base-T1 and CAN. The Ethernet interface and control elements are located on the back side.

User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Installation Mounting CAUTION Device damage due to overheating Overheating may result in malfunction or destruction of the converter. Do not operate the converter outside the specified temperature range. Do not operate the converter in the vicinity of heat sources. Ensure adequate air circulation. Do not cover the converter with other objects. Mount the converter in such a way that it does not pose a hazard at any time.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter The following instructions refer to the connection cable provided by X2E. If you use other cables, connect accordingly. Plug the connection cable into the socket (B). Connect the cable labelled OABR to the ECU or any other OABR or 100/1000BaseT1 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.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Configuration and firmware update In addition to the general converter configuration with DIP switches (I), it is possible to change the following two values with the tool Gateway configuration, part of X2E's XORAYASuite: time in seconds without CAN activity that puts the converter into sleep mode (requirement: DIP switch No 3 is in top position) mode of Ethernet PHYs (setting only affects type A2 or newer, see chapter Identification) Legacy: fully com
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Start the XORAYASuite installation wizard and follow the instructions. Make sure that the components Gateway configuration and DFU-Driver are selected. Start Gateway configuration Start the XORAYASuite. Click Select Extra tools > Gateway configuration. in the Windows notification area.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Connect converter Make sure that the correct USB driver is installed. Deactivate sleep mode (DIP switch (I) No 3 is in down position). Connect the converter to the power supply (see chapter Connecting). Turn on the power supply. Connect the converter via service interface (C) to your PC. Press the reset button (J) with a pointed object. The converter indicates USB bootloader mode by turning off the general status LED (D).
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Update firmware Click Navigate to the directory that contains the firmware file and select the File name. . (Never change the file names of the provided firmware archive.) Click Open. The firmware is being updated. Complete firmware update properly Do not abort the process and do not disconnect the USB cable prematurely. Otherwise, the converter stays in USB bootloader mode and it is not converting data.
User Manual Automotive Ethernet Converter Cleaning CAUTION Device damage due to entering liquids Entering liquids may result in malfunction or destruction of the converter. Disconnect the converter from the power supply before cleaning. Make sure that no liquids enter the converter. Clean the converter with a damp, soft cloth as needed. Repair CAUTION Device damage from opening the device Unauthorised opening may result in malfunction or destruction of the converter.
