DP83TC811EVM: Media Conversion Usage

Part Number: DP83TC811EVM

Hello,

After reading the user guide, I am still unclear on how to use this board. My goal is to connect a device that generates automotive ethernet traffic to the DP83TC811EVM and then have a laptop with Wireshark connected to the other end of the board to read. Is any configuration necessary or is there additional steps I need to take to see traffic? Is Wireshark sufficient or is there other software that this is intended to work with? I did not see mention of an IP address either.

Thanks!

  • Hi Jonathan,

    All you need to do is power the board and connect the MATENET connector to your other T1 board, connect the RJ45 to your laptop through a CAT5 cable.

    You should see link established on both sides and be able to transmit and receive data.

    Please be sure that you set the correct Master/Slave mode on the 811 side. There is a 3 pin header to select between the 2 modes.
