Preliminary Data Sheet
Loop back test (continued)
In-band loop back test
Besides performing the loop back test with an external packet source, IP113F supports an easy
alternative. IP113F 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 IP113F to perform loop back
and disable T2 timer by programming central IP113F through SMI

3. Central IP113F forces test frames to terminal IP113F and terminal IP113F loops back the
test frames. Central IP113F checks the received test frame.
