master
Output level
: The “Output Level” is the amplitude level of the BroadR-Reach signal. You
can set Full level (FullOut = default) or half amplitude.
Note
: Both devices of one 100BASE-T1 link must use the same level, otherwise the link
is not stable. FullOut is recommended.
Link quality
: The “link quality” is an indicator about the signal integrity of the 100BASE-
T1 link on this port. 1 = Poor, 5 = Excellent. For more information about link quality and
its measurement, please contact Broadcom directly.

double VLAN tagging.
Test Mode
: For 100BASE-T1 Ports it is possible to set a BroadR-Reach Physical Layer
Test Mode. There are five test modes defined in the BroadR-Reach specification to
check the compliance of a port.
Warning
: When a test mode has been selected there is no communication possible for
this port.
Important
: In the case of BroadR-Reach master, it is mandatory to restart the switch to
recover link.
Note
: For compliance testing an oscilloscope with special test software is necessary.
