Built In Link Test: Set Switch 2 to the UP position for the S-10GT
media converter to initiate the Built In Link Test on port 1. These
tests consist of the media converter generating test patterns to be
sent out on port 1 to the remote media converter. If the remote
media converter is also a compatible 10GBaseT media converter
then the remote media converter will automatically be put into test
mode.
Note: The BILT can operate on 10G modules. This feature can
also be used with Perle C-10GT or CM-10GT media converters.
Loopback: If Switch 2 is down, the specified port will be forced
into loopback mode (switch 3 determines the port number). Data
received on the receiver (RX) will be looped back to the transmitter
(TX) connection. This mode is not used in conjunction with BILT. It
can be used when other data generation methods are used.
