Hi Guys and Gals,
I am faced with a requirement to be able to hardware detect line
faults (ground faults and shorts) on an ethernet link. Since this
line is behind a balanced isolation transformer (and I new to the
ethernet game) I am uncertain if this can even be done. Does anyone
have any experience with this situation? It has to be done real time
(could be coordinated to ensure no data traffic if necessary).
Thanks for any inputs in advance..
