4 Product Description
The CAN@net NT hardware provides connectivity to Ethernet and CAN networks with various
operational modes. The CAN@net NT 420 additionally is capable of CAN FD. The application
firmware provides functions to access a CAN bus from virtually every Ethernet TCP/IP host. The
CAN@net NT provides message filtering, based on CAN identifiers, for Bridge and Gateway mode
in the direction from CAN system to TCP/IP network. In the Gateway mode the filter can be
configured by ASCII commands. In the Bridge mode the configuration tool is used to configure
the filter. With the VCI driver the CAN@net NT can be used as a PC interface.
4.1 Features
• CAN@net NT 200: 2 x CAN connections, ISO 11898-2 (terminal adapters)
• CAN@net NT 420: 4 x CAN connections, ISO 11898-2 (terminal adapters),
via the CAN-Gateway Configurator two connections can be switched between Classic CAN
and CAN FD
• 1 x RJ45 Ethernet port, 10/100 Mbit/s
• 1 x mini USB 2.0 port, high-speed
• configuration via USB or Ethernet
• With the CAN-Gateway Configurator a configuration can be created, modified, written to
and read from the target device via USB or Ethernet connection.
• platform independent due to ASCII protocol
• Classic CAN/ CAN FD ID filtering
• Classic CAN to CAN FD mapping and CAN FD to Classic CAN mapping (with NT 420)
• cyclic transmission of CAN messages
• MQTT and syslog functionality
• command line program CANGWfile (available for Windows and Linux)
• action rules via if-this-action-then-that-event functionality
4.2 Operational Modes
4.2.1 ASCII Gateway Mode
In the Gateway mode, the CAN@net NT is hooked to the local intranet or internet (firewall
needed). This allows a TCP/IP host within the reach of this intranet or internet to connect to the
CAN@net NT and gain control of the CAN system. The Ethernet TCP/IP host can exchange
commands and CAN messages using the ASCII protocol. The server relays the commands and
messages to the CAN bus and vice versa.

For information about the communication in Gateway mode and commands that are used to
exchange CAN messages see Software Design Guide CAN@net NT 200/420 Generic Protocol for
Gateway Mode on www.ixxat.com.
4.2.2 Bridge Modes
With the CAN@net NT the Bridge mode allows to connect CAN systems over an Ethernet TCP/IP
network, for example the local intranet or the internet (firewall needed). Minimum two devices
are required for a CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridge. One must be configured as master and one as slave.
A single device can be used as Local CAN bridge, which allows to map individual messages from
and to each CAN port of the device.
Possible Bridge Modes with CAN@net NT 200:
• Local CAN Bridge
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 2 devices
Possible Bridge Modes with CAN@net NT 420:
• Local CAN Bridge
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 2 devices
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 3 devices
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 4 devices
Fig. 2 CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 2 devices (NT 200)
Fig. 3 CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 4 devices (NT 420)
4.2.3 VCI Interface Mode
With the VCI driver the CAN@net NT can be used as a PC interface. All VCI-based Ixxat tools as
well as customer-specific applications based on the VCI driver can be used. The VCI driver offers
the possibility to communicate with up to 128 CAN@net NT devices via LAN or internet.
