5.3.8.2Far Loopback
Far loopback is a special test mode for MDI (analog) loopback as indicated by the blue arrows in Figure 5.3. The far loopback mode is enabled by setting bit register 17 bit 9 to logic one. In this mode, data that is received from the link partner on the MDI is looped back out to the link partner. The digital interface signals on the local MAC interface are isolated.
