Preliminary Data Sheet
Loop back test (continued)
2.4.2
In-band loop back test
Besides performing the loop back test with an external packet source, IP113M LF supports an easy
alternative. IP113M LF sends out private maintenance frame to do loop back test. All users have to do is
to program MII registers through SMI.
1. Disabe receive function of central TP port and instruct the terminal IP113M LF to perform loop
back and disable T2 timer by programming central IP113M LF through SMI

3. Central IP113M LF forces test frames to terminal IP113M LF and terminal IP113M LF loops
back the test frames. Central IP113M LF checks the received test frame.
