EES MACsec H-MTD
The EES MACsec H-MTD from Technica Engineering is an Automotive Ethernet switch with strong AVB/TSN capabilities that allows the users to connect up to 8x gigabit Automotive Ethernet ports and 2x up to 10Gb ports available through SFP+ connectors. The specialty of this variant (TE-2004) is the support of the MACsec technology, which is enabled by the use of specific PHYs. Additionally, it supports the MKA (MACsec Key Agreement) implementation of Technica Engineering. The Enhanced Ethernet Switch H-MTD MACsec can establish virtual point-to-point connections, using single-tagged VLANs (802.1q) and double-tagged VLANs (802.1q-in-q), thus enabling filter and control over data streams. Each port provides 8-levels of Quality of Services (QoS) classes and advanced traffic filtering capabilities with ingress and egress rules, which ensures the prioritization, resource reservation, and control mechanisms over the data received. Through an internal configuration website, the user can easily configure the device for their use cases, abstracting the complex underlying switch hardware. This includes MACsec-related features, VLANs, port mirroring, forwarding or filtering, deep inspection through TCAM rules, port segmentation, and many other features offered by Layer 2 switches. The EES H-MTD MACsec provides a reliable gPTP/802.1AS automotive profile stack for time synchronization that allows strong customization possibilities to adapt to any customer use case. Our product is also capable of Audio Video Bridging (AVB) functions with the possibility to statically configure stream reservation and shaping features (802.1Qav). The Enhanced Ethernet Switch is also prepared for additional TSN functionalities support: 802.1Qav, Qci, Qbv, and Qbu. Customer-specific use cases can be supported if needed.

Layer 1 Switch for Automotive Ethernet
The Layer 1 Switch for Automotive Ethernet is an innovative solution to realize the routing of messages in a test setup on a Physical Layer (OSI Model). This is especially helpful in Automotive test applications, where the physical connection of Automotive Ethernet links (of different ports) should be changeable via software, like for automation purposes or the remote control of test setups. Our Layer 1 Switch is capable of media conversion, which means conversion between 100BASE-TX Standard Ethernet and 100BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet, as well as 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet to 1000BASE-T1 Automotive Gigabit Ethernet. The dynamic reconfiguration feature allows the user to implement a new routing in the device via “push and reconfiguration”, on the go without rebooting the device. In terms of physical layer routing, port mirroring is enabled by the device. This means, that a copy of all network packets seen on one switch port (or an entire VLAN) is sent to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. Moreover, the Layer 1 Switch for Automotive Ethernet features link transparency (up to the limits of the internal Phy). This means that the transmission of data over the device is transparent (invisible) to other ECUs in the network, whose behavior should be tested. Furthermore, an important feature of the device is that it offers deterministic delay of messages. The delay can even be set by the user so that it is possible to control the latency time added to a message. Finally, the “frame destroyer” feature enables the user to send false, manipulated messages to the device to check the behavior of the ECU(s) under test.
