A Tour of RAD-Pluto Hardware
============================


Before learning how to configure and set up the device, let’s examine the device from all sides to understand all of its interfaces and status indicators.


Label and Status Indicators
---------------------------

LED Indicators
::::::::::::::

The function of the LED indicators is defined by which membrane button is active (flashing).  The color of the active membrane button indicates the following states of the device:

+----------------+----------------+
|Color           |State           |
+================+================+
|Orange          |Powered         |
+----------------+----------------+
|White           |USB Connected   |
+----------------+----------------+
|Blue/Green Flash|Online with VSPY|
+----------------+----------------+
|Magenta         |Script Running  |
+----------------+----------------+



Purple Membrane Button
::::::::::::::::::::::
   
Pressing the purple membrane button activates the purple labels which indicate the status of the networks.

* AE1-AE4: Link Status of Automotive Ethernet Ports 1-4
* LIN: LIN Status
* HSCAN 1-2 Status


The CAN and LIN network statuses are indicated with the following colors:

White Membrane Button
:::::::::::::::::::::

Pressing the white membrane button activates the white labels which are reserved for future use.

Connector Interfaces
--------------------



.. image:: Assets/Pluto_USB_RJ45_Endpanel.png

USB C (Left): 
::::::::::::::

This connection serves 3 purposes

1.	Device power from a USB 3.0 rated port.  (1A)
2.	GigE / USB Bridge (When enabled)
3.	Data Connection for VSPY 3 and configuration using neoVI Explorer

RJ-45 Port (Right): 
::::::::::::::::::::

An industry-standard conventional Ethernet jack.  This interface shares one port of the integral switch with AE-4 (100BASE-T1).  Only one interface can be active at a time.

The RJ-45 port has a pair of integrated LEDs that provide information about the RAD-Pluto’s conventional Ethernet connection:

* Link LED (Green): Indicates that a valid link has been established between the RAD- Moon and another 10/100/1000 Ethernet device.
* Activity LED (Orange): Flashes when traffic passes in either direction over the attached Ethernet cable.

In normal operation you should see the Link LED always on, and the Activity LED flashing at a variable rate, with faster flashing meaning that more data is being transferred.

The RAD-Pluto’s standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection will automatically negotiate to match the speed of the Ethernet device to which it is attached. In most cases it will run at 1000 Mb/s, though it will support connection to a device that runs at 10 or 100 Mb/s.

VDC (Left): 
::::::::::::
The device can be powered using the DC supply provided with your purchase.  If an alternate DC supply is used, it must be within the range of 5V-40V with a current capacity of 1 Amp, or the device may malfunction or be permanently damaged.

AE1-4 100BASE-T1 Ports (Right):  
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

.. note::  *Note that AE-4 shares a port with the 1000BASE-T port on the other end of the RAD-Pluto.  Only one interface can be active at a time.*
