Introduction
The Auto-Link-SPE-G connects 1000BASE-T1 with 1000BASE-T networks as well as 100BASE-T1
with 100BASE-TX networks. It supports 802.3bp auto-negotiation and proprietary master/slave
detection. Master/slave role, speed and auto-negotiation modes can be set via DIP switches. The
Control Center software connects via the USB to the Auto-Link-SPE-G and provides information
about link state, signal quality and allows direct PHY register access. Faults in the T1 connection
can be detected using Signal Quality Indicator and the Automotive Cable Diagnostics function. The
Auto-Link-SPE-G is equipped with a dual power supply that seamlessly switches between the
dedicated power port and USB.
