The TDR operates by transmitting pulses on the selected twisted pair within the Ethernet cable (TX in MDI mode, RX

in MDIX mode). If the pair being tested is open or shorted, the resulting impedance discontinuity results in a reflected

signal that can be detected by the PHY. The PHY measures the time between the transmitted signal and received reflec-

tion and indicates the results in the TDR Channel Length field of the PHY x TDR Control/Status Register (PHY_TDR_-

CONTROL_STAT_x). The TDR Channel Length field indicates the “electrical” length of the cable, and can be multiplied

by the appropriate propagation constant in Table 11-5 to determine the approximate physical distance to the fault.

TDR USAGE FLOW DIAGRAM

Note:

The TDR function is typically used when the link is inoperable. However, an active link will drop when oper-

ating the TDR.
