Loopback Diagnostics

Use Loopbacks to diagnose a fault on the optical link. The N525 supports four loopback
modes that you can set at the local site for both the Local and Remote N525s. These
modes loop the data through either the physical layer (PHY) on the User side or the FPGA
when looping to the remote user link, or the FPGA when looping to the local user link.
Local-Local Mode

Local-Local Mode loops data received on the local User Port Rx through the FPGA to
the User Port Tx. Data is not sent out the Extension Port Tx and incoming data on the
Extension Port Rx is ignored. See Figure 22. To set this mode, set the Loopback State
for the Local Module to Local.

Figure 22 - Local-Local Loopback Mode


Local-Remote Mode

Local-Remote Mode loops data received on the Extension Port Rx through the User side
PHY to the Extension Port Tx. Data is not sent out the remote User Port Tx and
incoming data on the remote User Port Rx is ignored. See Figure 23. To set this mode,
set the Loopback State for the Local Module to Remote.
