Function name:
VeriPHY
Function description:
The switch device includes a comprehensive suite of cable diagnostic function
that are available using SMI reads and writes. These functions enable a
variety of cable operating conditions and status to be accessed and checked.
The VeriPHY suite has the ability to identify the cable and operating conditions
and to isolate a variety of common faults that can occur the Cat5 twisted pair
cabling.
Note: If a link is established on the twisted pair interface in 1000BASE-T mode,
VeriPHY can run without disruption of the link or disruption of any data transfer.
However, if a link is established in 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, VeriPHY will
cause the link to drop while the diagnostics are running. After the diagnostics
are finished, the link will be re-established.
The fillowing diagnostic functions are part of the VeriPHY suite:
- Detection of coupling between cable pairs
- Detection of cable pair termination
- Determination of cable length
