Device for the reaction of a media independent - interface - data stream (mii) in a reduced media independent interface - - - data stream (rmii)

摘要

A conversion device is configured for converting reduced media independent interface signals into media independent interface signals, and media independent interface signals into reduced media independent interface signals. Hence, a device under test, for example an integrated network switch utilizing a reduced media independent interface, can be tested by test equipment configured for sending and receiving data packets across a media independent interface using the conversion device to convert between the two interfaces.
