Loopback support (register 3.0.14) has been (I believe mistakenly) removed in D3.3 for 10GBASE-X PCS MMDs; only the 10GBASE-R MMD is now referred to in this clause. The SuggestedRemedy explicit dependance on 10GBASE-R should be removed and a reference to the relevant 6 times in clause 52, change rate to ratio. Also clauses 30, 47, 49, 50, 53 or their subclause in clause 48 should be added. It will then align with the related register appendices. definitions in the MMD registers for DTE XGXS (5.0.14) and PHY XGXS (4.0.14)Response Response Status C SuggestedRemedyACCEPT IN PRINCIPLE. BERT remains BERT. We assume commenter is referring to Alter the first paragraph of 45.2.3.1.2 to read:BER, not BERT. The PCS shall be placed in a loopback mode of operation when bit 3.0.14 is set to a one. When bit 3.0.14 is set to a one, the PCS shall accept data on the transmit path and return Cl 00 SC P L # 124 it on the receive path. The specific behavior of the 10GBASE-R PCS during loopback is Dawe, Piers Agilent specified in Clause 49.2, and the specific behaviour of the 10GBASE-X PCS duringloopback is specified in Clause 48.3.3.
