Align RX data

 

 

 

 

0

Standard receive format. The data block immediately

 

 

 

 

 

follows the 14-byte header block.

 

 

 

 

1

The receiver inserts a 2-byte padding between the 14-

 

 

 

 

 

byte header and the data block, causing longword

 

 

 

 

 

alignment for both the header and data blocks.

MAC host interface soft reset

 

 

 

 

0

Restore MAC, STAT, SAL, RX_WR, and TX_RD to

 

 

 

 

 

normal operation.

 

 

 

 

1

Reset MAC, STAT, programmable registers in SAL,

 

 

 

 

 

RX_WR, and TX_RD. Keep high for minimum of

 

 

 

 

 

5μsec to guarantee that all functions get reset.

ITXA

0

Insert transmit source address

 

 

 

 

0

Source address for Ethernet transmit frame taken from

 

 

 

 

 

data in TX_FIFO.

 

 

 

 

1

Insert the MAC Ethernet source address into the

 

 

 

 

 

Ethernet transmit frame source address field.

 

 

 

 

Set to force the MAC to automatically insert the Ethernet

 

 

 

 

MAC source address into the Ethernet transmit frame

 

 

 

 

source address. The SA1, SA2, and SA3 registers provide

 

 

 

 

the address information. When the ITXA bit is cleared, the

 

 

 

 

Ethernet MAC source address is taken from the data in the

 

 

 

 

TX_FIFO.
