Summary delta event bits provide a consolidated view of the various individual delta event bits, grouped either by function or SONET tributary. Summary delta events are therefore a function of the other delta events bits in the register maps. The summary bits are read only, and will only be cleared when all delta event bits that contribute to them are cleared.

The summary bits are O/R'd to- gether to form the HDMP-3001 interrupt outputs, INTB and APS_INTB. The contribution of any of these bits to the summary interrupts can be deleted by set- ting the corresponding mask bit.

The loopback modes are selected by programming register bits in the register map. For details please refer to the description of register 0x001.

In SONET loopback mode SONET_R_TO_T_LOOPL, the data received on the RX_DATA pins is routed straight to the TX_DATA pins. The data is not processed by the chip. In SONET loopback mode SONET_R_TO_T_LOOP, the data received on the RX_DATA pins is processed by the line side receive circuitry. After the framer the

data is looped back to the line side transmit circuitry, from where it is sent out on the TX_DATA pins.

The Ethernet loopback mode can be enabled by setting register bit MII_LOOPBACK_MODE. In loopback mode, the MII RX inter- face and MII TX interface are used together to route the MAC frames from the MAC device back to the MAC device. That is, the MAC frames under test are re- ceived from the MAC device through the MII TX interface. Then, the MAC frames are not processed and are sent directly to the MII RX interface.

3.6 Test

3.6.1 Loopbacks

Several loopbacks are provided for test purposes, as shown in Figure 8:

Loopback 1:

SONET_R_TO_R_LOOPL, requires STS-3c/STM-1 mode with TX_SONETCLK =

RX_SONETCLK.

Loopback 2:

SONET_R_TO_T_LOOP, requires STS-3c/STM-1 mode with TX_SONETCLK =

RX_SONETCLK.

Loopback 3: Loopback done on the board level.

Loopback 4:

MII_T_TO_R_LOOP, only supported in PHY mode, i.e. when the HDMP-3001 drives the MII clocks.
