Page 3: Introduction To The Intrepid Rad-Moon
Introduction to the Intrepid RAD-Moon Thank you for purchasing a RAD-Moon media converter from Intrepid Control Systems (ICS). The RAD-Moon is an inexpensive yet powerful tool that effectively bridges the gap between Automotive Ethernet and conventional Ethernet. Elegantly simple, the RAD-Moon contains one BroadR-Reach Automotive Ethernet port and one standard, 4-wire 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port. - Page 4 A number of LEDs provide useful information about the status of the converter. A typical application of the RAD-Moon is to connect an Automotive Ethernet ECU to the Ethernet jack on a laptop or desktop PC. Ethernet frames from the ECU can then be monitored using Intrepid’s Vehicle Spy 3 software.

Automotive Ethernet connector type, the Mini50 is used by many BroadR-Reach devices, including Broadcom switches and other Intrepid AE hardware. Figure 3: RAD-Moon Automotive Ethernet Side. The Mini50 BroadR-Reach connector can be seen here in the center, with the bank of status LEDs to the left. -

• A PC, USB hub or other device with a free USB port. The BroadR-Reach cable must have a Mini50 on one end to attach to the RAD-Moon. The other end can be terminated with whatever connector is needed by the application, or may be integrated into a unit to be tested. - Page 8 Figure 5: Connecting the USB Cable to a Laptop USB Port. Attaching the cable to a USB hub will also work. Connect USB Cable to RAD-Moon: Connect the mini-USB connector on the other end of the USB cable to the RAD-Moon, as shown in Figure 6.

Connect BroadR-Reach to RAD-Moon: Plug the Mini50 connector on the BroadR- Reach cable attached to the Automotive Ethernet ECU into the matching socket on the RAD-Moon. The green Link LED will illuminate, and you may see the Rx and Tx LEDs light up as well. -

Ethernet connections has been correctly made to either type of Ethernet device. If the RAD-Moon has been attached to at least one device and still has no LEDs lit, this usually means that the RAD-Moon is not receiving power. Try the following: •... - Page 11 Data Sent by the Automotive Ethernet Device is Not Received Check the Rx LED on the RAD-Moon. If it is not flickering, then data is not actually being received by the RAD-Moon. Double-check the attached device to ensure that it is transmitting and the BroadR-Reach cable is functional.

Activity LED indicates data received by the RAD-Moon from the conventional Ethernet device (rather than data the RAD-Moon is transmitting). If after doing this you do not see this LED lit, the device may not be transmitting, or there may be a problem with the regular Ethernet cable.
