Appendix C I2C Interface Management This chapter provides references for using the I2C interface and associated commands. C.1 2-Wire Serial Link MiTOP-E1/T1 complies with the MSA standard and has the same 2-wire serial link interface (I2C) that carries the out-of-band protocol. The device follows the basic parameter map as outlined by the MSA (based on SFF 8472). Figure C-1 illustrates the mapping of page A0 as seen by the host equipment. The MiTOP-E1/T1 identification parameters reside on page A0.
Appendix C I2C Interface Management C.2 Installation and Operation Manual Serial Link Message Format This message format defines the structure used to read the ID table parameters. Start Control R/W Data Data The process of reading the ID table parameters complies with the MSA document and consists of two main steps: 1. Write message from the host: Includes I2C Control and Write bits in the first byte. The Slave Address byte includes 0xA0h.
Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C I2C Interface Management The host message structure may be a write message such as a configuration message or a read message like status. Messages are sent to MiTOP-E1/T1 in the format shown as described in Figure C-3. Reserved Area 128 0x80 Index 2 bytes Read/Write 1 byte Length of Parameter 1 byte Data 255 0xFF Figure C-3. Message Format Index: written into addresses 0x80 and 0x81 – The Index bytes determine the command code of the host message.
Appendix C I2C Interface Management Installation and Operation Manual Read Message I2C encapsulation structure: • Includes I2C Control and Write bits in the first byte. • Next byte contains 0x80 (as the first address). • Next byte with the First byte of the Index (MSB). • Next byte with the Second byte of the Index (LSB). • Next byte contains 0x01 for a read operation. • Byte contains 0x01 for the Length. • MiTOP-E1/T1 gets the required data byte and stores it in address 0x84.
Installation and Operation Manual C.4 Appendix C I2C Interface Management General Parameters The following tasks can be performed: • Identify if MiTOP-E1/T1 is E1 or T1 • Read the software version X.YZR, where each character in the version number is one byte • Reset software • Reset to factory defaults.
