Functional Description

Silicom’s Quad Port Bypass adapter supports Normal, Bypass and Disconnect modes. In Normal mode, the ports are independent

interfaces (see Figure 1: Normal mode, one Bypass pair is illustrated).

Figure 1: Normal Mode Functional Block Diagram

In Bypass mode, the connections of the Ethernet network ports are disconnected from the interfaces and switched over to the other

port to create a crossed connection loop-back between the Ethernet ports. The connections of the interfaces are left unconnected.

(See Figure 2: one Bypass pair illustrated)
