eNet-1553 Power and Ethernet Speed Negotiation:
At least 1000 mAmp @ 5 VDC available power is recommended for eNet-1553.
Alta’s optional J1 cable (ENETCAB-1553-J1-01) provides a USB connector for power
source. Most computers/USB power adapters provide enough power, but some only
provide ~500 mAmps and this will not allow eNet-1553 to negotiate to 1000 Ethernet (as
gigabit Ethernet draws extra power: about 300-400 mAmps). If using USB power, make
sure it can provide at least 1000 mAmp of power (there are many low cost USB-AC
power adapters that provide 1000 or 2000 mAmp of USB 5V power).
For non USB power connections, make sure to provide 4.5 watts of 5-30 VDC of power.

Signal Capture Discussion
The eNet-1553 HW provides Signal Capture capability on Channel One. The Signal
Capture feature uses an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to capture the electrical
signal on the selected 1553 stub (A or B). The Signal Capture feature will capture 2048
samples at a rate of 20MHz, or 50 nanoseconds per sample. Therefore the sample
buffer contains 102.4 microseconds of data. Each sample is an 8-bit (256 step) value
representing the differential voltage on the 1553 stub.
To convert the raw ADC data to a stub voltage representation, use the following
formula:
Stub Voltage = (ADC data – 128) * 1.79 (xformer ratio) * 32 (voltage divider) * 2mv (step voltage)
Reducing the above gives:
Stub Voltage = (ADC data – 128) * 0.11456
WARNING: The Signal Capture data should be accurate to within 500mV. The
Signal Capture Feature does NOT replace a calibrated oscilloscope for voltage
or timing measurements on the 1553 stub. The Signal Capture Feature provides
simple voltage and timing data. If more precise information is needed regarding
the electrical signal on the 1553 bus, a real oscilloscope should be used.
The following steps should be performed to acquire Signal Capture data from the PE.
See the AltaCore-1553 User’s Manual for more information on the Signal Capture CSR
and Data Registers.
1. Set the Trigger on Any Activity bit in the Signal Capture CSR
2. Wait for Data Ready bit to get set in the Signal Capture CSR
3. Read data from the Signal Capture Data Register. Note: The Data Register
contains four samples.
4. Keep reading data until the FIFO Not Empty bit is set to zero by the PE.

Appendix B
Setting eNet-1553 Static IP V4 Address
The eNet-1553 device has a factory default IP V4 address of 192.168.0.128
(class.class.subnet.hostNum) loaded in the boot-up flash. Many customers need to
change this address to match their computer’s or LAN IP settings (especially subnet).
Changing the eNet-1553’s IP address in boot-up flash is reviewed in this Appendix.
The customer has two options to change the IP address: Use the AltaView application
for Microsoft Windows™, or compile and execute a C sample program provided on the
CD/Web distribution in the “Examples” “M1553” folder (this option is needed for Linux,
VxWorks or other non-Windows systems). Even for non-Windows environments, it may
be easier to find a Windows machine and make the address change prior to installing
eNet-1553 on your Linux/Other/LAN environment.
Alta can also preset the IP address for you at the factory. This may entail a special part
number for re-order tracking, but we would be glad to help if you need the device’s
address programmed or preset. Contact Alta at [email protected]
Windows Systems
The following paragraphs apply only to Windows machines using AltaView to update the
IP Address, but Linux/Unix/Other users may want to briefly review. Non-Windows users
will need to read their respective Appendix in the AltaAPI manual for their OS and will
then need to compile/execute the example program ADT_L1_1553_ex_eNet_Set_IP.c.
You will need to set your local computer’s IP address to match the 192.168.0.X
class.class.subnet settings of eNet-1553’s default to communicate to the device
(X = host number and can be anything other than eNet-1553’s default value of
128).
STEP ONE: Set your Windows Computer’s Static IP V4 Address
to Match eNet-1553’s class.class.subnet Values.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO TURN OFF WIRELESS DEVICES ON THE CLIENT
COMPUTER WHEN USING eNet-1553. Windows OS can send packets on
different network interfaces, so you should turn off all network connections
except the wired device that is connected to eNet-1553. You can also
HARD SET the Windows Routing Table for eNet-1553 IP routing, but this is
beyond the scope of this discussion (google: Setting Windows IP Routing
Table).
There are numerous web sites that detail how to set your Windows machines IP
address to a static value. Simply google: Setting a Static IP address in Windows.
