PRODUCTION DATA
MII Loopback is the shallowest loop through the PHY. It is a useful test mode to validate communications between the MAC and the PHY. While in MII Loopback mode, the data is looped back and can be configured through the register to transmit onto the media. In 100Base-TX mode after MII loopback is enabled through register 0h, it is necessary to write 0x4 to register 16h for proper operation of MII Loopback.
