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..
Frodo
