This document describes the usage of the 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter.
Product number: 1000BASET1-MC-ETH

2Introduction
The 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter realizes a full-duplex physical-layer conversion between
1000BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), or 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet)
networks, and features TE MATEnet and RJ-45 connectors. Communication speed and master/slave
settings can be auto-negotiated with a link partner or set manually by the user. A USB port (VCP) can
be used to read device status and port diagnostic. The device can also be used as a USB-CAN(/FD)
interface simultaneously with the media conversion function.
The user can programmatically configure the device over USB or CAN(/FD) with the help of the
open communication protocol that allows to read status information, configure port parameters, and
enables to easily integrate the converter into any system. A free-of-charge PC application is available
to visualise the device’s status, configure its parameters and use the advanced functions.

5.6 User Button
The push button (a tacticle switch) shall be used for firmware update. If the button is held during
device’s power-up, the device enters the boot mode. After that, the button can be released and the
firmware can be updated –see 6.7. To enter the normal operation mode the device should be
restarted.
Figure 6 User button
5.7 CAN Bus Termination
There are no internal termination resistors inside the device. Therefore, the user has to make
sure the CAN bus is properly terminated at both ends of the network.
Figure 7 CAN bus termination
5.8 USB
USB Type-C connector uses the standard USB 2.0 pinout, and can be used for firmware upload
or in as a virtual COM port (see 6.5).
5.9 Galvanic Isolation
The device does not have any galvanic isolation. All ground signals are connected. The user has to
make sure there are no ground loops in his setup.

6Usage
6.1 Quick Start
The 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter can be easily used like this:
•Connect cables to the automotive Ethernet port (TE MATEnet connector) and the
standard Ethernet port (RJ-45 connector)
•Configure the device –by built-in DIP switches:
oEither enable the Auto-negotiation feature (T1 Speed and Master/slave
configuration will be negotiated with the link partner); or
oSet Speed and Master/slave configuration manually
•Power the device –either over:
oUSB
o2-pin terminal block
o6-pin Molex connector
6.2 Physical-Layer Conversion
The media converter realizes a full-duplex physical-layer conversion between 1000BASE-T1 and
1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), or 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) networks. The T1
communication speed and Master/Slave settings can be auto-negotiated with a link partner, set
manually by the user, or programmatically over USB or CAN(/FD).
The parameters of the T1 port must be compatible with the link partner on the other side. If the
auto-negotiation is enabled, the speed and master/slave configuration by on-board switches is
ignored, as their configuration will be auto-negotiated. The link partner shall also support the auto-
negotiation. If the auto-negotiation is disabled, the correct speed (same on both devices) and the
correct master/slave selection should be set.
The speed selected on the T1 side should be also supported by the device connected through
the RJ-45 connector. If the T1 port speed is 1000 Mbit (either auto-negotiated or set manually), the
device connected to RJ-45 side shall support 1000BASE-T. Similarly, if the T1 port speed is 100Mbit,
the device connected to RJ-45 shall support 100BASE-TX. If the auto-negotiation is enabled the
fastest possible speed is automatically selected.
6.3 Frame Generator Mode
The frame generator function must be disabled for normal communication and should be
enabled only for testing purposes. The generated frames contain no specific MAC source or
destination. All bytes have the same pattern: 0xA5 and 0x5A in alternation.
6.4 IEEE and Legacy Modes
The IEEE mode is the default mode on the T1 port. The legacy mode should be only enabled if
the link partner is Marvel PHY A0. For other PHYs, the legacy mode should be disabled.
6.5 PC Application
The user can use the free-of-charge application to access the media converter over USB VCP or
CAN(/FD).
Note: In order to connect the device over CAN(/FD), a Kvaser CAN interface is needed, as the application
uses the Kvaser driver.

Figure 8 PC application
The application allows to read status information, configure port parameters, use the T1000 and
T100 test modes, and run cable tests. The application also allows to use the device as a USB to CAN(/FD)
interface and to transmit and receive CAN and CAN FD frames.
6.6 Cable Harnesses
Cable harnesses are available as optional accessories. See Chapter 9 for ordering information.
6.6.1 TE MATEnet
This is a TE MATEnet female to female wire harness connected by a 2-meter long unshielded-twisted
pair. MATEnet connectors are wired 1:1.

6.6.2 Molex Micro-Fit
This is a Molex Micro-Fit 6-pin to an open-end wire harness. The wires are 1 meter long, each 0.65
mm2(22 AWG).

6.7 Firmware Update
The MCU contains a system bootloader which is pre-programmed in ROM during manufacture. The
steps for entering the bootloader:
•Disconnect the USB and the external power supply
•Press and hold the button on the back panel
•Connect the power supply - either USB or external
•The device will enter the system bootloader
•Release the button
•Firmware can be flashed
After that, the STM32CubeProgrammer application can be used for flashing firmware over the
system bootloader. The application is available from [1].
Steps for firmware update:
1. Open the STM32CubeProgrammer application (see download link above)
2. Turn the device off
3. Enter the system bootloader as described above
4. Connect a USB cable (this also powers the device) to the PC
5. In the STM32CubeProgrammer:
a. Click on the refresh arrows button to see available ports
b. Select the interface (USB)
c. Select the correct port

[e-mail]
d. Click connect. You will see a screen similar to this one.
6. If everything went well, you are now connected to the bootloader. You can read/write
memory, load hex files and edit Option Bytes. You cannot view the MCU core window and
Serial view window; this is possible only when debugging with connected ST-LINK.
7. In order to flash a new firmware, open an .elf file by „Open file“ button and press the
„Download“ button. A .hex file can be used also but the Address of 0x8000000 has to be
chosen manually.
If you want to exit the bootloader, you must restart the device.
