The 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter realizes a bi-directional physical layer conversion between 100/1000BASE-T1 and Fast/Gigabit Ethernet networks. The converter is easily configurable via on-board switches and its status is visualised by multiple LEDs. Advanced features such as frame generator and cable diagnostic are available, and the device can also be used as a USB-CAN(/FD) interface. An open communication protocol over CAN(/FD) and USB can be used to programmatically read the port status and configure the parameters.
