  | |||||
7  | Reset  | RESET | A software reset of the COM20020 is executed by writing a logic "1"  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | to this bit. A software reset does not reset the microcontroller  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | interface mode, nor does it affect the Configuration Register. The  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | only registers that the software reset affect are the Status Register,  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | the Next ID Register, and the Diagnostic Status Register. This bit  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | must be brought back to logic "0" to release the reset.  | 
  | ||||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | |||||
6  | Command  | CCHEN | This bit, if high, enables the Command Chaining operation of the  | |||||
  | Chaining Enable  | 
  | device.  | Please refer to the Command Chaining section for further  | ||||
  | 
  | 
  | details. A low level on this bit ensures software compatibility with  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | previous SMSC ARCNET devices.  | 
  | 
  | |||

5  | Transmit Enable  | TXEN | When  | low,  | this bit disables transmissions by keeping nPULSE1,  | |||
  | 
  | 
  | nPULSE2 if in   | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | When high, it enables the above signals to be activated during  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | transmissions. This bit defaults low upon reset. This bit is typically  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | enabled once the Node ID is determined, and never disabled during  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | normal operation. Please refer to the Improved Diagnostics section  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | for details on evaluating network activity.  | 
  | 
  | |||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | |||||
4,3  | Extended  | ET1, ET2  | These bits allow the network to operate over longer distances than the  | |||||
  | Timeout 1,2  | 
  | default maximum 4 miles by controlling  | the Response, Idle, and  | ||||
  | 
  | 
  | Reconfiguration Times. All nodes should be configured with the  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | same timeout values for proper network operation. For the  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | COM20020 with a 20 MHz crystal oscillator, the bit combinations  | |||||
  | 
  | 
  | follow:  |

2  | Backplane  | BACK-  | A logic "1" on this bit puts the device into Backplane Mode signalling  | |||||
  | 
  | PLANE  | which is used for Open Drain and Differential Driver interfaces.  | |||||

1,0  | Sub Address 1,0  | SUBAD 1,0 | These bits determine which register at address 07 may be accessed.  | |||||
