Please complete these steps to use the RAD-Star as a media converter:
1. Connect BroadR-Reach Cable to RAD-Star: Attach the Mini50 connector on a

Note that some devices can operate as master or slave, so you can use either port. You
should hear a click when the plug snaps into place.

change the Ethernet port you connect to as well.
2. Connect BroadR-Reach Cable to ECU: Attach the other end of the BroadR-Reach
cable to the ECU.
