PRODUCTION DATA
Far-end (Reverse) Loopback is a special test mode to allow testing the PHY from the link-partner side. In this mode, data that is received from the link partner passes through the PHY's receiver is looped back at the MAC interface and is transmitted back to the link partner. While in Reverse Loopback mode, all data signals that come from the MAC are ignored. Through register configuration, data can also be transmitted onto the MAC Interface.
