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 housing labeling
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 on the top.
If the device is to be connected to a PC via USB (Node 3), a USB 3.0 cable should be used. After installing the
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 Support by indicating the serial number. PHYs with revision A2 on the
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
the Speed Modi button. When Legacy Mode is set the white Speed Modi LED 1000 flashes.
