Page 4: Feature List
Timestamps are in 0.04 μs resolution and synchronous to all connected lines. BR_SPY_mini can provide a Trigger Generator function at an extra cost, and should be or- dered in advance before buying the product to be programmed properly at Technica Engi- neering side before delivery. -
Page 5: Warranty And Safety Information
2 Warranty and Safety Information Before operating the device, read this manual thoroughly and retain it for your reference. Use the device only as described in this manual. Use only in dry conditions. Do not apply power to a damaged device. Do not open the device. -

Page 9: Status Leds And Pushbutton
4 Status LEDs and Pushbutton The BR SPY mini has several status LEDs at the front side of the case. The “Host” LED1 must be ON, and “Host” LED2 must toggle slowly (approx. 1 sec). If “Host” LED2 does not toggle or “Host” LED1 is OFF, an error has been detected by the Host. -
Page 10: Configuration
5 Configuration The BRSPY mini is configured by 8 DIP Switches on the front of the device. DIP Switch 1: = BroadR-Reach Port 1A is set to Master Port 1B to slave. = BroadR-Reach Port 1B is set to Master Port 1A to slave. DIP Switch 2: = BroadR-Reach Port 2A is set to Master Port 2B to slave. -
Page 11: Use Cases
The simplest Use Case is the dual Media Converter, selected by setting the DIP switches 3 and 4 to OFF. The BR_SPY_mini will act like two completely independent Media Converters from BroadR-Reach (100Base-T1) to Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) in Full Duplex Mode. -
Page 12: Spy Mode Without Wrapper ("0, 1")
6.2 Spy Mode Without Wrapper (“0, 1”) In this Use Case the RJ45 Ports work in Gigabit Mode. The copied data from the two 100 Mbit/s BroadR-Reach (100Base-T1) Ports are combined to one 200 Mbit/s stream and are sent on one Gigabit link. To do a collision resolution the packets are buffered on the BroadR- Reach (100Base-T1) Port. -
Page 13: Spy Mode With Wrapper ("1, 0")
With this feature the user can record the exact time when the first bytes of a frame were re- ceived on a BroadR-Reach (100Base-T1) port of the BR_SPY_mini. It is also possible to see the complete frame including the preamble and the CRC in Wireshark. Normally this infor- mation is removed by your network interface. - Page 14 BR 2A 0x02 BR 2B 0x03 Table 4: values of Port field within the BR_SPY_mini Header The following image shows an example of a BroadR-Reach (100Base-T1) payload frame encapsulated in a BR_SPY_mini RAW frame, with header: Page 14 of 23...

Page 15: Brspy Mini Lua Dissector Installation Guide
6.3.1 BRSPY mini LUA Dissector Installation Guide In order to dissect the BR_SPY_mini RAW Ethernet Frames generated on SPY With Wrap- per mode, a LUA file for Wireshark is available on Technica Engineering website free of charge. To install the LUA file in Wireshark, the user must follow the following steps: 1. - Page 16 5. To copy or move the LUA files to the specified Wireshark plugins folder, Administrator rights will be needed. In that case, the following window should appear. Press Continue to proceed with the copy. 6. Run Wireshark. Page 16 of 23...

Page 17: Frame Generator Mode ("1, 1")
(“1, 1”) Frame Generator Mode In this case, the device works as a Frame Generator, sending Ethernet frames on GB1 with Gigabit Speed and on all 4 BroadR-Reach (100Base-T1) ports with 100Mbit/s. In order to select this mode, the DIP switches 3 and 4 must be ON (“11” Value). In addition, the user can select different functionalities according with the set of DIP switches 5,6,7 and ... - Page 18 The frame format is fixed, and the only difference between the packets is the Stream ID field. This Stream ID field shows the port number where the frame is being sent. Stream ID Function Value BR1A BR1B BR2A BR2B Table 5: Stream ID field on Frame Generator Mode The following image shows an example with mixed frame sizes in Wireshark, in burst mode: Page 18 of 23...

Page 19: Status Reporter
6.4.2 Status Reporter On any of the BroadR-Reach and in GB1, the CRC and Continuous Counter fields are checked and the result is reported each second in a Status Frame. This frame is transmitted on GB2 with the following format: In this port, the StreamID = 5, and the GB1 works as a Fast Ethernet port. - Page 20 The following table defines the content of the Status Frame Data. These fields are replicated four times, one per BroadR-Reach port, giving information about the communication status in every single port. Field Size Description (bytes) SequenceCounterLocked Lowest Bit shows if the Sequence Counter Checker found at least one valid pair and then was enabled.

Page 21: Trigger Functions
7 Trigger Functions The Trigger Output signals detect when a frame is received in one of the BroadR-Reach (100Base-T1) ports, this means, when the Data Valid rising edge is detected, and when a frame is being transmitted on one of the Gigabit ports, as is shown in the following table: Function BR1A Data Valid BR1B Data Valid... -
Page 22: Frequently Asked Questions - Faq
8 Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ Q: What is the delay time for Ethernet packets through the SPY? A: The delay time depends on the UseCase that is set. For SPY Mode without wrapper the delay of received BR (100Base-T1) packets to their output on the RJ45 ports is around 12µs. -
