Controller Functions
If you have attached multiple Auto-Link Media Converters to the same host via the USB
configuration port, you can connect the UI to a specific one using the drop-down list. The Media
Converters are distinguished by their type and USB serial number.
When an Auto-Link Media converter is selected, its firmware revision and firmware date are read out
and displayed in the respective fields.
Using the RESET button, the Auto-Link Media Converter is re-initialized to its default state.

T1 Functions
Link Monitoring
The UI provides continuous monitoring of T1 link state and SQI (Signal Quality Indicator). Using the
checkboxes, you can enable and disable the respective functions.
The bars of the SQI bar-graph represent the exact SQI values ranging from SQI=0 to SQI=7. SQI
needs to be 1 or higher for proper operation of the link.
Cable Diagnostics
Using the T1 PHY Automotive Cable Diagnostics, cable faults and their distance from the device
can be detected. During the measurement, the link is broken. The distance measurement has a
tolerance of ±1.5m. ACD can detect broken wires (OPEN) and intra-pair shorts (SHORT). In case of
an INVALID result, try to repeat the measurement. PAIR BUSY indicates traffic on the pair. Turn off
the link partner in order to get a valid result.
