1 Introduction and Overview
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Intrepid Control Systems RAD-Galaxy multi active tap and
media converter for Automotive Ethernet (AE). The RAD-Galaxy allows you to seamlessly
monitor communications between 6 IEEE 802.3 100BASE-T1 Ethernet nodes and a switch,
or between 6 pairs of nodes. In its media converter mode, it can instead act as an interface
between 12 independent nodes or switch ports and a PC, allowing the PC to talk to all nodes
simultaneously. The RAD-Galaxy communicates at up to 1 Gb/s over its standard Gigabit
Ethernet link, and also has a second Ethernet port for Diagnostics over IP (DoIP) operations
with a connected vehicle.
In addition to its powerful Automotive Ethernet capabilities, the RAD-Galaxy can also be
used to interface with standard vehicle networks. It includes support for 8 CAN channels with
CAN FD support, 2 of which can be switched between Dual Wire CAN and Single Wire CAN.
Support for one LIN channel and multiple channels of analog and/or PWM input/output are
builtintothehardware,andwillbeavailableinafuturermwareupdate.TheRAD-Galaxycan
be used either attached to a PC or as a standalone logger. It also comes with a license for the
full professional version of Intrepid’s powerful Vehicle Spy software, providing a wide range of
vehicle network analysis and simulation capabilities.
Note: 100BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet is also known as
BroadR-Reach (sometimes abbreviated as BroadR or just BR)
and One Pair Ethernet (OPEN or OP). Only minor differences exist
betweenthe100BASE-T1andBroadR-Reachspecications,and
the RAD-Galaxy is compatible with both standards.
1.2 Package Contents
Your RAD-Galaxy package includes both hardware and software.
Hardware
You should receive the following:
• The RAD-Galaxy device.

• Two standard four-pair 3’ (~1m) Ethernet cables.
• Two TE Connectivity Nano MQS female plug housings and 28 TE Connectivity Nano
MQS crimp contacts, for connecting to the BroadR-Reach network. (Section 2.4
provides details on the use of these components.)
• An Intrepid OBD cable of your choice, selected from these options:
• neoVI-OBD-1 (primarily for General Motors vehicles)
• neoVI-OBD-MULTI (for most vehicles)

Intrepid’s Vehicle Spy (often abbreviated as VSpy) is the “Swiss army knife” of automotive
networking tools. It allows you to easily monitor and transmit on multiple vehicle networks, and
includes capabilities for ECU simulation, data acquisition, scripting, diagnostics, data analysis
and much more.
The RAD-Galaxy and Vehicle Spy are designed to work together hand in hand, and a license
for the full Professional version is included with your hardware purchase.
It is also possible to control the RAD-Galaxy from within other software using the Intrepid API
supported by the device.
1.3 Operational Overview
The RAD-Galaxy has a multitude of capabilities and can perform a number of different
functions, many of them simultaneously. The device can function as an Automotive Ethernet
multi active tap or media converter, or both at once. At the same time it can also act as an
interface to conventional vehicle networks such as CAN and CAN FD, with support for LIN and
analog or PWM I/O lines coming in the future.
Operation as an Active Tap
Due to the high performance and complexity of 100BASE-T1, typical approaches for
interfacing to a network (such as attaching a probe to the bus) do not work. This problem is
resolved by interposing a device called an active tap within an Automotive Ethernet network.
TheRAD-Galaxycontains12100BASE-T1transceiverchips(PHYs)conguredinto6pairs
to create 6 active taps. These can be interposed between 6 pairs of BroadR-Reach nodes, or
6 nodes and 6 switch ports. The Gigabit Ethernet port of the RAD-Galaxy is connected to a
laptop PC or similar conventional Ethernet device.

Note: The term “tap” has a dual meaning: it refers to the act of
tapping into a network (such as used in the phrase “wire tap”).
It also is sometimes considered an acronym for “test access point”,
since a tap does indeed act as an access point for testing, though
you can do much more than that with the RAD-Galaxy. For simplicity,
in this document we will just use the word “tap”.
Oncecongurationiscomplete,theRAD-Galaxyissetupasa“middleman”inthenetwork,
managed by a custom-designed processor within the unit. When a node or switch port
transmits, the RAD-Galaxy receives the message and retransmits it to the device that
the sending node or port was formerly directly connected to, with only a minor delay for
processing. The processor also sends a copy of the message over the Gigabit Ethernet
connection to the PC, so it can be viewed and analyzed within Vehicle Spy.
The interface provided by the RAD-Galaxy is full-duplex and bidirectional. This means that in
addition to using the PC to monitor messages sent by the Automotive Ethernet nodes attached
to it, you can create and send custom messages from the PC to the nodes as well. This allows
youtoquery,test,congureandmanagethesenodesusingVehicleSpy.
Figure 2 depicts how the RAD-Galaxy functions when inserted into a typical Automotive
Ethernet network with 6 AE nodes connected to a switch. (Note that in the diagram, 3 node
connections are omitted for greater clarity).

Figure 2: Using the RAD-Galaxy as an Active Tap Between AE Nodes and Switch. Before inserting the RAD-Galaxy,
Automotive Ethernet nodes 1 to 6 were directly connected to the switch at top left. Each connection was broken and the
pairs connected to the appropriate ports on the RAD-Galaxy (black lines). Every transmission continues to be sent to its prior
destination (blue arrow lines following the physical connections and the “virtual” internal connections shown in gray within the
device). In addition, copies of each message are transmitted by the RAD-Galaxy to the attached PC (dashed lines). Optionally,
messages from the PC may also be sent to any switch port or ECU (red arrow lines).
Figure 3 shows a similar setup to that of Figure 2, except with the RAD-Galaxy interposed
between 6 pairs of Automotive Ethernet nodes, rather than between nodes and a switch. Note
that the RAD-Galaxy has 12 connections, which are arranged into the following pairs: 1+2,
3+4, 5+8, 7+6, 9+10 and 11+12. This is explained further in Section 3.2.

connected to each other in pairs: Node 1 to Node 2, Node 3 to Node 4, and so on. The RAD-Galaxy has been inserted

Operation as a Media Converter
Instead of being placed between 6 100BASE-T1 connections, the RAD-Galaxy can be

converted from Automotive Ethernet to standard Ethernet and sent to the PC. Conversely,
trafcfromthePCwillbeconvertedfromstandardEthernetto100BASE-T1andsenttothe
appropriate node. Since in this operating mode the RAD-Galaxy is converting between two
Ethernet media (Automotive Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet), it is said to be acting as a media
converter. Figure 4 depicts the logical operation of the RAD-Galaxy when used in this manner.
