Getting Started

Installing the PXIe-8521

Notice To prevent damage to the PXIe-8521 caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you

install the module.

2. Power off the chassis.

3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to

installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.

5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that

indicate the slot types.

2. When inserting a stranded wire without a ferrule, first open the terminal by pressing the

push button with a finger or the included screwdriver tool.

3. Verify that all strands of a stranded wire are securely retained.

4. Insulated ferrules are recommended for small-gauge stranded wire. 26 AWG x 8 mm

barrel length insulated ferrules are included with the product.

Note A ferrule crimping tool is not included with this product.

5. Tighten the connector screw flanges to the torque specification in the PXIe-8521

Specifications for the best shock and vibration performance. The connector screw flanges

ship in a non-torqued configuration for easy removal.

6. When removing a wire, first open the terminal by pressing the push button with a finger

or the included screwdriver tool.

Port Modes

The PXIe-8521 includes four ports that can be configured as independent network interfaces

on the module. The ports can function in Direct mode or Tap mode. Regardless of mode,

traffic on each port can be monitored. When monitoring is enabled, all traffic that is

transmitted or received on that port is captured. Each packet is timestamped by both the local

time keeper and the port's network time keeper. The local time keeper runs off PXI Clk10 if

present on the chassis. Each port has an independent network time keeper, which uses IEEE

802.1AS to synchronize time with other devices on the network.

Note Port mode cannot be changed while an XNET session is started on the port.

When the port mode is changed, port connectivity is lost while the change is

configured.

Data Path Overview

The following diagram describes each port within the PXIe-8521.

Firmware

PHY

Each port has three data paths: XNET monitor, XNET endpoint, and OS stack. All three data

paths can be used simultaneously depending on port mode. The monitor path reads and

inspects all Ethernet frames that are received or transmitted on the port. The endpoint path

transmits and receives Ethernet frames on the port. The endpoint path is typically used if you

need it to act as an AVB endpoint. The OS stack path transmits and receives data using

standard network sockets via the operating system's network stack. The OS stack is typically

used with applications designed to use traditional TCP- or UDP-based protocols for its

network communication.

Note The PXIe-8521 does not support jumbo frames.

For Ethernet interfaces, the suffix "/monitor" indicates the use of a monitor path when it is

appended to the interface name. For example, "ENET1" specifies use of the endpoint path, and

"ENET1/ monitor" specifies use of the monitor path. The monitor path is used to read Ethernet

frames that are received or transmitted on each port. When Tap is enabled, data received via

the monitor path by a Tap pair will be identical on each port in the pair.

The IEEE 802.1AS protocol is implemented by the firmware running on the PXIe-8521, and

packet timestamps are taken near the device's physical layer. This helps guarantee a high

degree of synchronization accuracy for each port's network time.

Note This diagram shows a design with two ports. Each of the device's four ports

can run independently under Direct mode.

Note Although it is not shown in the diagram, you can simultaneously use the

XNET monitor data path on each port while it is in Direct mode. This allows you to

analyze all network traffic that is transmitted and received on the port's endpoint.

In Direct mode, ports are directly connected and function as endpoints; Ethernet frames

received and transmitted on the port have no relationship to any other ports on the device.

Input and output sessions are supported in Direct mode. The PXIe-8521 supports up to four

ports using Direct mode.

Tap Mode

In Tap mode, a pair of adjacent ports on the device, called tap partners, are connected to form a

Tap that allows the PXIe-8521 to monitor traffic. In Tap mode, physical Port 1 and Port 2 are

PXIe-8521 User Manual | © National Instruments | 7

Tap partners, and Port 3 and Port 4 are Tap partners. A frame received on one Tap partner is

transmitted out of the other Tap partner, which mimics the behavior of an Ethernet cable.

Note For more information about Tap latency, refer to the PXIe-8521

Specifications.

When an input session is created using an XNET interface for either Tap partner, and the "/

monitor" suffix is used with the XNET interface, the session reads frames going through the

Tap partners. Output sessions are not supported in Tap mode.

Note You only need to select the monitor of one port in the Tap pairing. If both

monitors are selected, you will receive the same data twice.

Setting one port to Tap mode will automatically set the port's Tap partner to Tap mode. The

PXIe-8521 supports two Taps (Ports 1/2 and Ports 3/4) using this mode. All four ports can also

be used simultaneously while one pair is in Tap mode and the other ports are in Direct mode.

The following diagram describes one Tap pair on the PXIe-8521.

PHY State

The PXIe-8521 PHY's master/slave state can be configured for communication with its peer

PHY. In traditional Ethernet networks, this master/slave state is negotiated automatically at the

PHY level. However, in Automotive Ethernet networks such as IEEE 100BASE-T1, the

master/slave state is commonly configured statically and is typically determined by the PHY

state setting of the connected DUT. Configure the PHY state of the PXIe-8521's port to the

opposite of the connected DUT's PHY state.

Configuring the PXIe-8521 in MAX

Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your National Instruments

hardware. MAX informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how

they are configured.

1. Launch MAX.

2. In the configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed NI

hardware.

Note If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of

installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure

the module is correctly installed, and restart.

3. Expand your module to see the list of ports.

4. Record the NI-XNET interface name that MAX assigns to each port of the hardware. Use

this name when programming the PXIe-8521.

5. For each port, configure the port mode to either Direct or Tap, depending on whether you

want to fully participate in network communication as an endpoint (Direct) or monitor an

existing network connection (Tap).

6. For each port, configure the PHY state to either Master or Slave, depending on the

corresponding state of the PHY that you are connecting to.

Note Two PHYs that are physically connected must be configured to use

opposing PHY states. One PHY must be configured to be the master, and the

other PHY must be configured to be the slave.

7. Self-test the hardware by selecting the item in the configuration tree and clicking Self-

Test in the MAX toolbar.

The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.

Programming the PXIe-8521

You can program the PXIe-8521 using both the NI-XNET API and the operating system's

standard network stack API. Both APIs can be used simultaneously. Select an API based on

the needed function, listed below:

API Functionality

NI-XNET • Monitor

• AVB endpoint

• IEEE 802.1AS synchronization

• Trigger synchronization

• Port configuration

Operating System Network Stack • Network sockets (TCP/IP and UDP/IP)

NI-XNET provides many of the advanced data access and timing & synchronization

capabilities for the device, while availability of the OS network stack provides a

Synchronization Methods

The PXI and PXI Express chassis feature a dedicated synchronization bus integrated into the

backplane. NI-XNET products support use of this bus to synchronize with other National

Instruments hardware products such as DAQ, IMAQ, and NI Motion Control. The PXI

synchronization bus consists of a flexible interconnect scheme for sharing timing and

triggering signals in a system.

Local Time

The PXIe-8521 uses PXI_Clk10, a 10 MHz PXI backplane clock, to drive the local time

keeper and to synchronize with other modules in the PXI chassis. If the PXI backplane clock is

not available, the PXIe-8521 uses an internal oscillator.

1When in Tap Mode, ports that are paired fade in phase with each other, but out of phase with other

ports.

2In the case of a catastrophic error, recover by invoking Reset on the module in MAX. Contact NI

for further support if the error continues to occur.
