Ethernet. GB-A to GB-D.
There is one RJ-45 Standard Ethernet connector of the front side for Fast Ethernet (100
Bit/s). HOST-Port.
2.2 Other Interfaces
2.2.1 SMA Connectors
There is one shielded SMA Connector for one Trigger Input/Output Line.
2.2.2 Status LEDs
The 100BASET1_SPY 12 port has several status LEDs at the front side of the case.
The “Host” LED1 can toggle at three different speeds:
• Slow toggle (approx. 0.5 sec) during normal operation to show that the
microcontroller is running in normal mode.
• Fast toggle (approx. 0.1 sec) when the microcontroller is in bootloader mode.
The bootloader mode is used for firmware update only (see below in this
manual). The user cannot access the website when the device is in bootloader
mode.
When the device is in Bootloader-Update Mode the LED toggles with moderate
frequency (approx. 0.25 sec).
The “Host” LED2 should be normally off. If it toggles at high speed (approx. 0.1 sec)
an error has been detected by the Host.
The “FPGA” LED2 can toggle at two different speeds:
• Slow toggle (approx. 0.5 sec) during normal operation to show that the FPGA is
running in normal mode.
• Fast toggle (approx. 0.1 sec) : TBD
The “FPGA” LED1 should be normally off. If it toggled at high speed (approx. 0.1 sec)
an error has been detected by the FPGA.
The 12 port Status LEDs 1A to B6 monitor the link status of the corresponding port.
The LEDs are lit when there is BroadR-Reach link detected.
Note: There is an issue when P/N of the bus are swapped. The LED may be on in this
case on 100BASE-T1 slave side, but there will be no data transmission possible.

3.4.3 100BASE-T1 Port
The BR-1A to BR-6B labels on right side allow the user to configure BroadR-Reach Port
settings:
Figure 3-9: Parameters to set in BroadR-Reach Ports
BroadR-Reach mode: Here the user can select Master/Slave Mode of the selected
Port. On each BroadR-Reach link there has to be one master and one slave device.
Please set the “BroadR-Reach mode” to the opposite of what the device which is
connected to this port.
Output level: The “Output Level” is the amplitude level of the BroadR-Reach signal. The
user can set Full level (Fullout = default) or half amplitude.
Note: Both devices of one BroadR-Reach link have to use the same level. Otherwise
the user will get an instable link. FullOut Level is always recommended.
Test Mode: For BroadR-Reach Ports it is possible to set a BroadR-Reach Physical Layer
Test Mode. There are five test modes defined in the BroadR_Reach Specification to
check the compliance of a port.
100BASE-T1 SPY 12 Port User Manual
22
Warning: When a test mode has been selected there is no communication possible for
this port.
Note: For compliance testing an oscilloscope with special test software is necessary.
Output to: The BroadR_Reach Ports are always connected A-B for each channel pair.
This setting allows a copy of the A-B communication to be sent to a Gigabit port.
Choose here which Gigabit port will be connected with the selected BroadR-Reach
port.
BR PAIR ID: Specifies the multiplexing between two BroadR-Reach ports. For example,
if the user wants to connect BR-1A with BR-5A, BR PAIR ID in both ports must have the
same value.
Note: If more than two BroadR-Reach ports have the same BR PAIR ID, only the two
first ports found following the order 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B… will be connected. For example, if
BR-1A, BR-1B and BR-2A have the same BR PAIR ID, only BR-1A and BR-1B will be
connected between them.
Note: The BR PAIR ID value must be greater than 0. If two BroadR-Reach ports have
this field set to 0, those ports will be not connected.
SLEEP FOR PAIR: when the user selects this option, two textboxes will appear:
• Sleep Time (ms): time that the master-ECU has to be sleeping (no lunkup on
BroadR-Reach link) for the 100BaseT1_SPY to deactivate the link with the slave-
ECU
• Wake-up Time (ms): time needed after disabling the link with the slave-ECU to
be possible to detect a linkup with the master-ECU
100BASE-T1 SPY 12 Port User Manual
23
Use case: If Device_A (Master) goes to sleep for a time greater than Sleep Time (ms),
100Base-T1 SPY will disable the PHY2, connected to Device_B, and this device will go
to sleep.
Figure 3-10: Sleep time between Master and Slave
As soon as there is a LinkUp recognized in Device_A, connected to PHY1, PHY2 will be
enabled again and the communication will be possible.
Note: the SLEEP FOR PAIR functionality works according to the BR PAIR ID option. If
there are more than two devices with the same PAIR ID and the SLEEP FOR PAIR
functionality is enabled, the ports taking on this functionality will be the first two ports
found following the order 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B,…
Note: The values for the timings for the pair are set if the BroadR-Reach port is set as
slave (connected to master-ECU). But in order to make this functionality enable, the
SLEEP FOR PAIR functionality must be enabled in both ports (Master and Slave)
configured with the same BR PAIR ID. In the case of 100Base-T1 SPY BroadR-Reach
Master port, the timing options will not appear.
TX/RX Packets: These two counters show the number of transmitted and received
packets through the selected BroadR-Reach port.
Note: In this release, the TX Packets counter doesn’t work.

If all CAN ports are neede please flash the Firmware 1.12.0
Note: The value of the ID will determine if the CAN frame is standard (lower than
0x0FFF) or extended (higher than 0x07FF).
Note: According with the CAN/CAN-FD specification, only 16 Lengths can be set. The
values in hexadecimal that can be used in the Length field are the following:

Table 3-3: Table of values in Length Field
Note: When the Length field is 0x00, the CAN frame will be sent like a remote frame. In
CAN-FD there is not remote frames according with the CAN-FD specification.
Note: The 100BASET1_SPY_12_Port is not able to send CAN frames with ID priority.
The user must assure that the Ethernet data rate used for CAN Transmission
functionality is lower than the configured CAN Bit Rate on the CAN options. Otherwise,
the CAN packets will be dropped.
Warning: Frame length field must be the length of the entire Ethernet packet, and it
must be in any case greater than the CAN Length field. If not, the packet can be
discarded by the 100BASE-T1_SPY_12_Port device.
Note: In the case that the 100BASE-T1_SPY_12_Port tries to send a packet and there
is a collision on the CAN bus with another node, the device will try to send the frame
again three times. After three times, the packet will be discarded.
3.4.4.2 CAN Transmission Event Message
When a CAN frame is sent through a CAN port, the 100Base-T1_SPY device will receive
the CAN frame as well. In this case, an Ethernet Frame is sent through the Gigabit Port
specified in the Output To field for that CAN port (see section 3.4.5). This CAN Event
Message contains information about the state of the received CAN frame, as is
described in the following table:

includes also the transmitted ones by the device. As it is shown in TABLE 3-4, the CAN
Transmission Event message has the same format than a 100BASE-T1_SPY_12_Port
CAN Raw Frame (See CHAPTER 4.3), but changing the Direction field and introducing
the Message ID of the original CAN Transmission Frame. If the CAN Transmission
Event is received on the PC, this means that the CAN frame was successfully sent by
the device.

5 USE CASES
5.1 100BASE-T1_SPY_12_Port Use Case
The traffic of two BroadR-Reach ECUs is forwarded through the 100BASET1_SPY with
a constant delay of only 1.4µs.
The delay is independent of the frame size of the Ethernet packets.
There is no time jitter on the delay.
The used bandwidth has no influence on the delay.
The traffic of two pairs of BroadR-Reach (so a total of four ports) is forwarded to one
Gigabit Port.
The PC/Datalogger is not able to send data. The RJ45 Ports are output only.
Each RJ45 Port outputs only one 100 Mbit Stream of one of the ECUs.
This setup (Four on One) is implemented three times in one 100BASET1_SPY. So, a
total of 12 BroadR-Reach Ports and 3 Gigabit Ports are used for this.

5.2 802.1AS Synchronization UseCase
If the Enable Core 802.1AS is activated in Spy Multiplexer settings label -please, see
section 5.4.2-, the BRSPY device will be able to synchronize with any Master Device
through Gigabit Port. In this case, the device will use the same TimeStamping as the
Master Device, and this includes the maintenance of synchronized time during normal
operation and following addition, removal, or failure of network components and
network reconfiguration.

5.2.1 PTP of 802.1 AS Protocol
In an 802.1AS topology, the communication between a Master and a
Slave Node is as you can see in the
picture to the right.
For a generic time tx, the Slave device can
correct this time as follows:
tx‘ (ns) = tx + t1 + t2 + ∆t - Path Delay
With t3, t4, t5 and t6, the slave device can
calculate the Path Delay as follows:
𝑃𝑎𝑡ℎ𝐷𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 (𝑛𝑠)=
(
𝑡6 − 𝑡3)− (𝑡5 − 𝑡4)

5.2.2 802.1AS in 100BASE-T1 SPY
The following image shows a possible setup for this purpose, using 3 100BASE-T1
SPY_12_Port devices.
Figure 5-4: Setup with 3 100BASE-T1_SPY_12_Port devices
In this setup, the configuration of the devices in the Spy Multiplexer settings label will
be as follows:
• BRSPY 1: Grand Master 802.1AS Configuration → Master
• BRSPY 2 and BRSPY 3: Slave 802.1AS Configuration → Slave
If the 100BaseT1 SPY device is configured as 802.1AS Master, the device will be the
Grand Master of the network, forwarding its internal clock to the device connected to
its Gigabit Port D, and using its internal clock as Timestamp. When the 100BaseT1 SPY
device is configured as 802.1AS Slave, the device will forward through its Gigabit Port
D the clock received from the Master device, and it will correct its internal clock to
synchronize with the Master device and use this clock as Timestamp.
• BRSPY 1 will be Grand Master device, and it will send through its Gigabit Port
D its internal clock to the other devices using Sync and Follow Up messages.
This port will be connected to the Gigabit Port C from BRSPY 2, and in this
case, it will send also Response and Response Follow Up messages. BRSPY 1
will use its internal clock as Timestamp.
100BASE-T1 SPY 12 Port User Manual
51
• BRSPY 2 will act as Slave in Gigabit Port C, sending Request Messages to the
Grand Master, and as Bridge in Gigabit Port D, acting in this case in a similar
way that a Master, but sending its corrected clock to BRSPY 3. Both devices
will use the corrected clock as Timestamp.
• BRSPY 3 will act as Slave in Gigabit Port C, sending Request Messages to the
Bridge (BRSPY 2 Gigabit D).
If the Core 802.1AS is not activated in Spy Multiplexer settings label, all the devices
will use their internal clocks, without synchronization between them.
Note: The Timestamp used by each device will have a resolution of 0.04 μs, following
the described information in section 4. This means, the 100Base-T1_SPY Timestamp
doesn’t match with the 802.1AS Timestamp format.

7 APPLICATION FIRMARE UPDATE
The user can download the latest firmware and documentation for the
100BASET1_SPY here:
https://technica-engineering.de/en/produkt/100base-t1-spy_12-port/
Note: If the user updates the application the bootloader should also be updated to the
latest version.
Warning: Not following these instructions may cause erroneous states of the device.
The user will have to send it back to Technica Engineering for repair. Technica
Engineering may charge support fees for this service.
Note: The user needs to have administration privileges on a Windows PC to be able to
do the firmware update on the 100BASET1_SPY
The application firmware of the device may be updated by the following process:
1. Power up the device by a stable 12 Volt DC power supply. Do not switch off the
power supply during the update process.
2. It is recommended to connect the Wake-up line (Pin 8 of the black MQS
connector) to 12 Volt of the same power supply to make sure the ECU is awake
during update.
3. Disconnect all other Ethernet, CAN, FlexRay, LIN and BroadR-Reach links from
the 100BASET1_SPY.
4. Disable the Firewall of the Windows PC. Set the network device of the PC to the
same subnet as the 100BASET1_SPY. (For example 192.168.0.100 and
255.255.0.0)
5. Check that the firmware package that the user received from Technica
Engineering contains the following files:
redtool.exe microcontroller.crc.srec redboot.srecspy.srec
UpdateAll.bat
The user will need to have java installed on the PC.
6. Check that the “Host” LED toggles slowly (so the device is running in application
mode).
7. Check that the website at 192.168.0.49 can be accessed (or whatever the IP
address of the 100BASET1_SPY is configured for).
8. Run UpdateAll.bat file in Administrator mode
100BASE-T1 SPY 12 Port User Manual

Note: First, the device will be in bootloader mode. The Host LED1 is blinking
fast when in this mode.
Note: during the update process the Host LED1 will stop to blink. This is a
normal condition. Do not reset the device! The update process will last about
one minute
When the update is finished the Host LED will toggle slowly again.
9. The user can re-activate Windows firewall after successful update.

8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• The propagation delay of the 100BASET1_SPY is constant 1.4µs between two
BroadR-Reach Ports in SPY mode.
• As the delay through the 100BASET1_SPY between two BroadR-Reach ports in
only 1.4µs,100BASET1_SPY will not influence a AVB time synchronous network
negatively.
• If the firmware update failed and the host is still in bootloader mode, please
restart the device and try to update the application again as described in this
manual.
• If any 100Base-T1 link is shown in red color on the Website, it can be a hardware
or software problem. In this last case, the user needs only to restart the device.
If the problem continues after restarting, is a hardware problem, and the user
should contact us for more support.
• If the user cannot access to the device Website, please, check the Ethernet
Adapter configuration, and follow the instructions as described in this
manual, assigning the correct IP and subnet mask values.
• If there was an error during the firmware installation, and the FPGA has no
software, the next message will be shown on the webpage of the device:
Failed to flash the FPGA. Please try updating the board again!
In this case, please wait a few seconds until the HOST LED 1 is blinking and
there is link up on Host Ethernet Port, and then update again the firmware
version.
• Some Ethernet Adapters must have the VLAN & Packet Priority option disabled.
Please, change this configuration, going to Ethernet Adapter
Properties/Advanced/Packet Priority & VLAN. If this option is enabled, just
disabled. Otherwise, it should be enabled. Please, check also that there is not
any IP Address configured on the Ethernet Adapter, and the Windows Firewall
is disabled.
Note: This last solution does not work with Intel Ethernet Adapters.
• The website is tested with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Firefox is preferred.
Chrome is not supported.
• Warning: From firmware version 2.0.0, 100Base-T1_SPY has a new reedboot
updater, not compatible with previous firmware. Please, don’t try to update the
device to a previous release if the 2.0.0 version or higher is installed in the
100BASE-T1 SPY 12 Port User Manual
59
device. If the user does this, the Host and FPGA LEDs can stop working, the
software update is no longer available, and the user must contact us for more
support.
