Abstract
A method of detecting a fault in an Ethernet system is disclosed. The system includes multiple physical channels, each channel bounded by a pair of link partner transceivers. The method includes selectively coupling at least a first one of the physical channels to a second one of the physical channels. A test pattern is then transmitted along the first and second physical channels. Cross-channel information corresponding to the transmitted test pattern is received. An echo canceller in the second of the multiple channels is trained to generate an impulse response corresponding to the received crosstalk information. For a selected segment of the system, the generated impulse response is compared to an expected impulse response for that selected segment. The determination of whether a fault exists is based on the comparison.
