  • Page 4: Warranty And Safety Information

    Before operating the device, read this manual thoroughly and retain it for your reference. You can download the latest firmware and documentation for the MediaGateway here: http://www.technica-engineering.de/MediaGateway Use the device only as described in this manual. Use only in dry conditions.

  • Page 5: Pinning

    Power supply for the device is supplied by Pin 1 (12Volt) and Pin 2 (Ground). Requirements for the MediaGateway itself: 12 Volt DC up to 1 Ampere (typical 600mA) If the 12 Volt camera power output is used, this current is also sourced of Pin 1 and 2.
  • Page 6 CAN Bus interface (CAN A) on pins 5 (BP) and 6 (BM). This interface may be used for CAN based wakeup and data transfer. In the default software there is no data transmission speci- fied. This interface may only be used in customer specific (Gateway) software. CAN B to CAN E do not support wakeup functionality.

  • Page 7: Switch Connectors

    3.2 Switch connectors Connector color: blue The pins marked with (P) or (N) are used for the BroadR-Reach ports. Four ports are availa- ble per switch. You have to connect the (P) pin to the (P) pin of the periphery device. You have to connect the (N) pin to the (N) pin of the periphery device.

  • Page 8: Status Leds And Pushbutton

    4 Status LEDs and Pushbutton The MediaGateway has several status LEDs at the front side of the case. The “Host” LED is toggles slowly (approx. 0.5 sec) during normal operation to show that the microcontroller is running in normal mode. It is toggling fast (approx. 0.1 sec) when the mi- crocontroller is in bootloader mode.

  • Page 9: Configuration Website

    5 Configuration Website You can access the configuration website with a standard web browser (Firefox is recom- mended, Chrome is not recommended). Connect your PC to a RJ45 connector. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.0.49 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 If someone has changed the IP address you can reset it to default as described in chapter 3 of this manual.

  • Page 10: Website Home

    5.1 Website Home Warning: If there is a lot of broadcast traffic on the switch, the host microcontroller may be jammed. You can not access the website in this case. Please use VLAN configuration to forward only relevant messages to the host. With the first access to the website you will get the home screen.

  • Page 11: Control Panel Tab

    “Prevent sleep” checkbox (default). This will keep the device running without entering the sleep mode. If you enable the “Watchover” the MediaGateway will send periodically status information about its state. For example transitted and dropped frame counters. For details about the Format of these frames see the Fibex File (and .pdf description) in the firmware release files.

  • Page 14: Port Name

    On the left side of the page you can see an overview of all available ports. A blue bar at the side of a port label indicates an active link (On the Cascade SFP port there is no link indication). To configure a port, click on its name to select it.

  • Page 15: Tx/Rx Octets

    5.4.2 Tx/Rx octets The Tx/Rx octets are status counters for the incoming and outgoing bytes of this port. 5.4.3 VLAN Configuration When the “IEEE 802.1q (VLAN) mode” is enabled, you can set various VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configurations for routing the traffic through the switch. This is a global option applying to all of the three switches.

  • Page 16: Broadr-Reach Port

    With double tagging enabled, only the outer tag (the one with TPID 0x9100) is relevant for frame forwarding, i.e. the “VLAN membership” refers to the outer tag. TPID = Tag Protocol Identifier, EtherType A value of 0x8100 indicates that the frame has VLAN 802.1q information. A value of 0x9100 indicates that the frame has QinQ (Double Tagging).

  • Page 17: Sfp Port

    5.4.6 SFP Port You have the choice of different modules. The SFP Port can be set to “Fiber” if you care using a SFP MiniGBIC Fiber module. Use “RJ45” for copper modules. Use HSD for old MediaSwitches which have an HSD connector instead of an SFP slot. Page 17 of 30...

  • Page 18: Broadr-Reach Test Modes

    5.4.7 BroadR-Reach Test Modes Each BroadR-Reach Port you can set to a BroadR-Reach Physical Layer Test Mode. There are five test modes defined in the BoradR-Reach Spec to check the complience of a port. When a test mode has been selected there is no communication possible. For compliance testing an oscilloscope with special test software is necessary.
