PVA-3000 Reference Manual
December 2, 2019 Sifos Technologies
The pva_caps test evaluates Link Stability at each supported connection polarity (MDI/MDI-X) for each advertised
link rate (10/100/1000), duplex mode (half, full), and 1000BaseT timing mode (master, slave). The table below
describes each of the reported parameters from the pva_caps test.
