(Chapter 5.2). The interface offers a possibility to access SMI registers of the 100BASE-T1 transreceiver (PHY) via a CAN bus or a USB’s virtual serial port. This enables the user to evaluate signal strength, detect polarity of the T1 port, carry out a BroadR-Reach media test to diagnose cable errors, fine-tune the PHYs parameters, and generally to read and write the registers.

5.1 USB-LAN to 100BASE-T1 Conversion Purpose of the interface is to connect a computer to 100BASE-T1 (BroadR – Reach). When the interface is plugged into a PC, it will be enumerated as a standard Ethernet network card and a virtual COM port.
In order to lower the power drawn from the USB port, an external power supply can be connected over DSUB connector (4.2). 100BASE-T1 mode can be changed by software (Chapter 5.2) or by hardware (set DIP switches to position „ON“ for User mode „Master“).
