100Base-TX Test Procedure for the 82544 Chip
1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Physical Layer Compliance Tests Manual
136 Intel Confidential
— Tektronix TDS784C oscilloscope (1 GHz BW) in single-shot, hi-resolution mode.
— P6248 Differential Probe (1.5 GHz BW) Mode = /10, or P6247 Differential Probe (1 GHz
BW) Mode = /10.

PCs, Adapter Cards, and Test Software
— 82554 based LAN adapter or LOM design as Unit Under Test gigconf.exe test software
can be used to force A0 82554 to transmit random data.
— An 82559 LAN adapter (Albany) was installed in a PII desktop PC, and was running
phyconf.exe rev 5.10 Beta 5. phyconf.exe was used to force the 825444 UUT to transmit
100Base-TX scrambled idles.

gigconf.exe Software
— Register settings are provided in Appendix H.3.
•
phyconf.exe Software
— This software can be used if an Intel 10/100 LAN partner is used to transmit 100Base-TX
scrambled idles. Register settings are provided in a separate document.

I.3 Specification 9.1.2.2 - Differential Output Voltage (UTP)
I.3.1 Test Case
Differential Output Voltage (specification 9.1.2.2)
I.3.2 Test Purpose
To measure the peak differential output voltage at the transmit pins of the RJ-45 connector (also
called the Active Output Interface or AOI).
