Use of the Device
2-2 Easy CON Media Converter
Node 1 (“Ethernet” socket) must be connected to a 10Base-T/
100Base-Tx Fast Ethernet device. This can be an Ethernet Switch or
another Ethernet card (e.g. PC). Most Ethernet cards will support
10Base-T/ 100Base-Tx Baud rate, otherwise use an Ethernet Switch to
connect to 1000Base-Tx networks.
Use CAT5 or CAT6 patch cables. The use of crossover cables is not
required: The Easy CON device has an integrated Auto-crossover
Switch, detects the required connection type and configures the
connection appropriately.
Node 2 (“BroadR-Reach” socket) must be connected to a BroadR-Reach
Ethernet device. Use CAT5 or CAT6 patch cables or the provided D-
Sub 9-pol. Adapter.
Please note: BroadR-Reach Ethernet devices can be either link master
or link slave.
If the connecting device is a link master, then the Easy CON device
must be configured as slave. If the connecting device is a link slave,
then the Easy CON device must be configured as master. Use the
Master/ Slave sliding switch at the rear plate near the BroadR-Reach
socket for this.
Please connect the micro USB connector to the Easy CON device and
plug the enclosed power-supply into a wall-outlet.
The Easy CON media converter is not intended and has not been
designed and tested for use in a safety relevant application. Do not
use the device for any safety relevant system or sub-system inside a

Using such a device inside a vehicle to control vehicle main functions
can be dangerous and cause the whole vehicle to malfunction.
In no event shall GOEPEL electronics be liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including,

converter device.
