The XCVR Tab
The XCVR tab allows you to perform loopback tests on the SFP A, SFP B, and SMA
ports.
Figure 5–6 shows the XCVR tab.
1 To perform these tests you need:
■ Two SFP optical or metal loopback cables to test both at the same time
■ Two matching SMA cables for the SMA loopback
The following sections describe the controls on the XCVR tab.
SFP A, SFP B, SMA
These groups displays the following SFP A, SFP B, SMA status information during the
loopback test:
■ Data rate —Displays the current SFP A, SFP B, SMA data rate in megabytes per
second (MBps).
■ Freq —Displays the data rate frequency in MHz which is equivalent to MBps.
