2.4 Examples of Usage
2.4.1 Standalone Media Converter
Physical layer
conversion
The Ethernet channels of the VN5610(A) can be configured independently. That way
the VN5610(A) can be used as a media converter between an ECU using the
100BASE-T1 physical layer and any standard Ethernet equipment (e.g. loggers)
using 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T.

2.4.2 Transparent Ethernet Monitoring
Monitoring The VN5610(A) can be used for Ethernet monitoring between an ECU and a con-
nected sensor without influencing the Ethernet bus (bypassing). In this particular
setup the VN5610(A) receives and forwards incoming data packages from one chan-
nel to the other.

This allows applications such as CANalyzer.Ethernet or CANoe.Ethernet to trace Eth-
ernet data with accurate time stamps.
