MACINDEX | MAC address index. All eight addresses share the upper 40 bits. Only the lower byte is unique for each | ||
|
|
| address. An address is written by first writing the address number (channel) into the MACINDEX |
|
|
| register. The upper 32 bits of the address are then written to the MACADDRHI register, which is |
|
|
| followed by writing the lower 16 bits of the address to the MACADDRLO register. Since all eight |
|
|
| addresses share the upper 40 bits of the address, the MACADDRHI register only needs to be written |
|
|
| the first time. |
