MediaConverter 100/1000BASE-T1

MediaConverters can be statically configured for standalone operation but also controlled remotely for dynamic operation.

Standalone operation is defined via 4x DIP switches for basic configuration of the device:
DIP Switch 1: Master/Slave
DIP Switch 2: 100/1000 Mbps
DIP Switch 3: IEEE-/Legacy-mode (TE-1402/TE-1403)
DIP Switch 3: Autosearch ON/OFF (TE-1405/TE-1406)
DIP Switch 4: Frame Generator (ON/OFF)

Finally for advanced use cases, to control remotely the operation or additional debugging purposes, there is a serial interface (console), which is accessible through micro USB-B connector. This interface enables the users to read TX/RX register counters, SQI values of the channels, CRC errors, and other information as well as dynamically change the MediaConverters configuration overriding DIP switches. It can also be used for Firmware updates of the device.
For MediaConverter variants TE-1405 and TE-1406 is offered possibility to use WEB GUI PC application for more user-friendly configuration options.

Conversion
MediaConverters transmit data frames directly from the physical layer 100 or 1000BASE-T1 and the physical layer 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T, with a deterministic and constant delay of approximately 2 microseconds.
