2.1 Operation - Quick Start

  1. Connect a micro-USB cable from J1 to any Windows laptop or PC.
  2. Open USB-2-MDIO on the laptop or PC.
  3. Read register 0x0003 on both onboard PHYs and see that the values match Table 2-1.
    Table 2-1 Default Register 0x3 Values
    DeviceRegister 0x3 Value
    DP83TC1103A-Q1 (PHY_ID = 27)0xA2F0
    DP83TC1103B-Q1 (PHY_ID = 27)0xA2F0
    DP83TC1104A-Q1 (PHY_ID = 0)0xA2B2
    DP83TC1104B-Q1 (PHY_ID = 0)0xA2B2
    DP83867 (PHY_ID = 1)0xA231
  4. Refer to Board Start-up Register Configuration for board start-up register configurations.
  5. The board is now ready to connect to a link partner. Connect an additional DP83TC110X-EVM-MC using one pair Ethernet cable with MATEnet connectors.
    1. Verify that the leader/follower and autonomous/managed selection is configured appropriately (through register write).
    2. Establish the WAKE jumper is installed, otherwise the device is in sleep mode.
    3. Verify the power and link LEDs are on (see LED Indication).
  6. For media conversion, connect a standard Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port (J7).
