1About
This document describes the use of the 100BASE-T1 USB Interface.
2Introduction
The 100BASE-T1 USB Interface connects a 100BASE-T1 network to any computer with an USB
port. The converter acts as an Ethernet network interface card (Chapter 4.4.3) when plugged into an
USB port. The interface easily connects Automotive Ethernet devices with OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach
(OABR) port, such as cameras or ECUs, directly to any PC without a need of an on-board network card.
The interface establishes a point-to-point link between an unshielded twisted-pair IEEE 100BASE-
T1 (IEEE 802.3bw) port and USB-LAN port, and works as a Network Interface Card allowing the user to
configure the network adapter’s parameters, such as IP address and mask. The converter features a
DSUB9 (BroadR-Reach, CAN bus) and Micro-USB connector. The OABR channel’s Master/Slave
configuration is selected by a switch button or by software utility (Chapter 5.2).
The interface offers a possibility to access SMI registers of the 100BASE-T1 transreceiver (PHY) via
a CAN bus or a USB’s virtual serial port. This enables the user to evaluate signal strength, detect polarity
of the T1 port, carry out a BroadR-Reach media test to diagnose cable errors, fine-tune the PHYs
parameters, and generally to read and write the registers.
2.1 Features

Note: To change the T1 mode to Master, switch T1 Master to „ON“ (up).
4.4.3 USB-LAN
When the interface is plugged into a USB port of a PC, it gets enumerated as a standard
Ethernet network card (NIC) and a virtual COM port. The network card can be used as a standard LAN
interface. The COM port allows the user to monitor the interface state (see Chapter 5.2).

Table 4 LED Function Description
4.6 CAN Bus Termination
Status information of the 100BASE-T1 Media Converter can be obtained over USB or CAN bus.
In case of a CAN bus connection, there is no internal termination resistor inside the device. Therefore,
a proper termination of the CAN bus is needed. The user needs to make sure the CAN bus is properly
terminated at both ends.
Figure 7 CAN Bus Termination
4.7 Factory Reset
The reset button is located on the side of the device (see Figure 3). For resetting to factory
defaults, power the device, wait a few seconds and then press and hold the button for 10 seconds. The
button can be pressed by tweezers or a pencil.
5Usage
The interface offers a plug&play bi-directional connection between 100BASE-T1 and PC connected
over USB.
5.1 USB-LAN to 100BASE-T1 Conversion
Purpose of the interface is to connect a computer to 100BASE-T1 (BroadR –Reach). When the
interface is plugged into a PC, it will be enumerated as a standard Ethernet network card and a virtual
COM port.

In order to lower the power drawn from the USB port, an external power supply can be
connected over DSUB connector (4.2).
100BASE-T1 mode can be changed by software (Chapter 5.2) or by hardware (set DIP switches
to position „ON“ for User mode „Master“).
5.2 Diagnostic over USB
When connect the media converter to PC over USB, it will be enumerated as a virtual COM port.
Windows 10 operating system and newer is supported.
The 100BASE-T1 Media Converter Utility PC application allows to read the status of the device.
The utility can be downloaded from www.machsystems.cz/en/support .
Run “100BASE-T1 Media Converter.exe”. Now you see window of Windows application as
shown below. To start monitoring, click once on button „Connect“.

Note: Mode of the Media Converter can be changed by software (11) or by hardware (set DIP switch
T1 Master to position „ON“for User mode „Master“).
6Firmware Update
For updating the device’s firmware, you will need a .MSF firmware file, MsFirmwareUpdater
application, and a Micro-USB cable.
6.1 Preparations
The device’s firmware can be updated over USB. To do so, connect your Media Converter to the
PC over USB. If you are connecting your product to the computer for the first time, it takes a little bit
more time than usual. Please download the MsFirmwareUpdater application and the MSF firmware
file from our support page www.machsystems.cz/en/support and extract all files into a new folder.
1. Run “MsFirmwareUpdater.exe”
2. Click on “Load from File” button
3. Select the .msf file
4. Select RS-232 interface and the correct COM port.
Shown information under “Load from File” button depends on the selected .msf file. “Variant
Id check” shall be checked by default. “New Protocol” checkbox shall be checked by default too.
In many cases you can connect to your MACHSYSTEMS device over more than one ports, interfaces
and speeds of transmission. Choose one connection from the dropdowns. It is recommended to use
“Baud rate” value 115200.

Note: After you open the app, check the COM port number. Default number is valid only for the
connecting app to the device, but not for the updating firmware itself.
6.2 Updating Process
Steps:
1. Make sure “New Protocol” checkbox is checked.
2. Click “Reset to Bootloader”.
Wait until the device is enumerated (usually 5 - 15 seconds).
3. The device will switch into bootloader mode and a new COM port will be added.
Note: For devices connected over USB, the virtual COM port number will differ for
normal and bootloader mode of the device. Thus, if you restart the device into
bootloader, you shall refresh the ports (Refresh button) so that you can then use the
bootloader COM port. In this case, select this new COM port.
4. Click on “Refresh” button so that the new port is available in drop-down.
5. Select a different COM port than you found in default settings from the dropdown.
6. Click “Connect”.
7. Click “Update Firmware” and wait until the flashing is finished.
Progress bar in the bottom shows flashing progress.
8. Once finished, a pop-up windows will be shown. Click “OK”.
