Test Mode:
For BroadR-Reach 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.
Note
: For compliance testing an oscilloscope with special test software is necessary.
Output to:
The BroadR_Reach Ports are always connected A-B for each channel pair. This setting
allows a copy of the A-B communication to be sent to a Gigabit port. Choose here which Gigabit port
will be connected with the selected BroadR-Reach port.
BR PAIR ID:
Specifies the multiplexing between two BroadR-Reach ports. For example, if the user
wants to connect BR1A with BR5A,
BR PAIR ID
in both ports must have the same value.
Note
: If more than two BroadR-Reach ports have the same
BR PAIR ID
, only the two first ports will be
connected. For example, if BR1A, BR1B and BR2A have the same
BR PAIR ID
, only BR1A and BR1B will
be connected between them.
Note
: The BR PAIR ID value must be greater than 0. If two BroadR-Reach ports have this field set to 0,
those ports will be not connected.
TX/RX Packets:
These two counters show the number of transmitted and received packets through
the selected BroadR-Reach port.
