The XCVR3 Tab
The XCVR3 tab allows you to perform loopback tests on the SMA port. Figure 6–9
shows the XCVR3 tab.
1 The external loopback mode will not pass due to only having a transmit port
available. To test in internal loopback, adjust the setting using the PMA button (serial
loopback = 1).
The following sections describe the controls on the XCVR3 tab.
Status
The Status control displays the following status information during the loopback test:
■ PLL lock—Shows the PLL locked or unlocked state.
■ Channel lock—Shows the channel locked or unlocked state. When locked, all
lanes are word aligned and channel bonded, and all TX and RX PLL lanes are
phase locked to data; RX lanes are word aligned and deskewed.
