Mercury T2C System Setup
Mercury T2C is configured and controlled through a host machine USB port.
The Device (UFP) should be reconnected to the Connector 1 (Left side), whereas the Host (DFP) should be connected to Connector 2 (Right side).
-
The device and host should be connected to the cables before inserting into the analyzer, so the orientation and UFP vs DFP aspect can be determined.
-
The cables can then be connected to the Mercury T2C.
-
If the LED associated with the Connector shows Red, you need to flip the connector over so it shows Green. The will enable the analyzer to connect all the other signals in a 3.2 cable correctly, allowing the other SS, SS+, or Alternate Modes to work without interruption.
