Please follow these steps to complete the necessary connections:
1. Connect BroadR-Reach Cables to RAD-Star: Attach the Mini50 connectors on each
of the two BroadR-Reach cables to the BR MSTR and BR SLAVE jacks on the RAD-
Star (Figure 9). You should hear an audible click as each plug is seated.
Figure 9: Connecting BroadR-Reach Cables to the RAD-Star.
2. Connect BroadR-Reach Cables to ECU/Switch Ports: If you are testing a link
between an ECU and switch, attach the other ends of the BroadR-Reach cables to the
ECU and switch ports of that link. If testing a link between two ECUs, attach the cables
to those ECUs.
When connecting your Automotive Ethernet devices, attach the ECU or switch port configured
internally as a master to the BR SLAVE port of the RAD-Star, and the device configured as
slave to the BR MSTR port. Note that some AE devices can operate as master or slave and
can thus be connected to either port.
