3.1 First Steps

1. Connect Easy CON via USB to the PC or to the included AC adapter (optional)
2. Install the Windows® driver.
3. Set Easy CON according to the application on Master or Slave, USB or Ethernet and Auto Negotiation Mode
4. Insert network cable / USB cable and Automotive Ethernet Adapter according to the
5. When the Link Status LED lights green, both a stable Automotive Ethernet connection and a stable network
connection is established

3.2 Driver Installation

The driver supports the Windows® 7, 8 and 10 operating system. The plug-and-play capability of Windows®
automatically launches a driver installation for each newly detected hardware component through the Hard-
ware Wizard. Using the inf file included on the enclosed CD, the Hardware Wizard can install the device driver. A
restart of the system is not mandatory.

3.3 Connections

Node 1 (Socket "Ethernet") has to be connected to a 100Base-Tx/ 1000Base-T Ethernet device. This can be
an Ethernet-Switch or another Ethernet device (e.g. a PC). Most Ethernet devices support the 100Base-Tx /
1000Base-T baud rate, otherwise use an Ethernet switch to connect to 1000Base-T networks. Use CAT7 patch ca-
ble.
Crossover cables are not required: The Easy CON device has an integrated auto-crossover switch, determines
the required connection type and configures the connection accordingly.
Node 2 (Socket "Automotive Ethernet") has to be connected to an Automotive Ethernet device. Use CAT7 patch
cable or the supplied 9-pin D-sub adapter.
Please note : Automotive Ethernet devices can be either link master or link slave. If the connected device is a link
master, the Easy CON device must be configured as a slave.
In contrast, the Easy CON device must be configured as a master if the connected device is a slave. To do this,
use the master / slave button
If the device is to be connected to a PC via USB
driver, a network adapter named EasyCON1000BaseT1 is available.

3.4 Legacy Mode - PHY compatibility mode

The PHY (Ethernet Physical Layer transceiver) 88Q2112 from Marvell is integrated into the Easy CON device. De-
pending on the version, this PHY is revision A0 or A2. To check, which generation is installed in your Easy CON ,
you can contact GOEPEL electronics
Easy CON are compatible to A0 transceivers. To do this, the A2 transceivers have to be Legacy Mode . In Auto
Negotiation Mode, the system automatically searches for possible modes. If the opponent is an A0 transceiver,
this is detected and the Legacy Mode (with 1000Mbit/s) is set. The Legacy Mode can also be set manually using
button. When Legacy Mode is set the white Speed Modi LED 1000 flashes.
