8.2.1 Start on request mode
The Start on Request mode is enabled by setting the CFG_START_ON_REQ bit in the router control register. The input signal POR_START_ON_REQ_N determines the power on or reset state of the
CFG_START_ON_REQ bit.
When a SpaceWire packet is received which is to be routed out of a SpaceWire port that is not running it would normally be discarded. If the Start on Request mode is enabled instead of discarding the packet the SpaceWire port will attempt to make a connection with the other end of the link. If a connection can be made then the packet is forwarded on towards its destination. This is illustrated in Figure

The Disable on Silence mode is enabled by setting the CFG_DISABLE_ON_SILENCE bit in the router control register. The input signal POR_DISABLE_ON_SILENCE_N determines the power on or reset state of the CFG_DISABLE_ON_SILENCE bit.
Figure 8-5 illustrates operation in the Disable on Silence mode.
