ACTIVITY INFORMATION WINDOW AND LINKING
STATUS
This window displays the current status of the selected PHY
chip (as determined in the
Select Local
section) including
whether a link is established, the speed of the link, and the
speed mode. The
Local
and
Remote
sections show the
advertised speeds available in the local PHY device and the
advertised speeds available that the remote PHY is returning
(see Figure 31).
If the user switches between two evaluation boards in the
Select Local
section, the information shown in these fields
updates to reflect the information provided from the board
defined as local.

ACTIVITY LOG INFORMATION SECTION
The activity log reports status information and register write
issues to the selected evaluation board (see Figure 33). The
activity log captures the activity in the GUI corresponding to
the activity on the local PHY, which indicates the various reads,
writes, and information on whether a link is established. When
the frame generator is enabled, this window shows the frame
generator activity. The board identification is recorded with
each bit field change to clarify which device is being addressed.
