82555 — Networking Silicon
The 82555 address can be configured to four 0 through 3 in DTE (adapter) mode and 0 through 31 in repeater mode. A special functions for switches allows 32 addresses to exist in repeater mode. The management frame structure is as follows:

7.2MDI Registers
MDI registers are described in the following subsections and the acronyms mentioned in the registers are defined as follows:
SC - Self Cleared.
RO
P- External pin affects 82555 register content.
LL- Latch Low. LH - Latch High.
7.2.1MDI Registers 0 - 7

15 | Reset | This bit sets the status and control register of the 82555 | 0 | RW | |
|
| to their default states and is |
| SC | |
|
| returns a value of 1b until the reset process has |
| ||
|
|
|
| ||
|
| completed and accepts a read or write transaction. |
|
| |
|
| 1 | = PHY Reset |
|
|
|
| 0 | = Normal operation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
14 | Loopback | This bit enables loopback of transmit data nibbles from | 0 | RW | |
|
| the TXD[3:0] signals to the receive data path. The |
| P | |
|
| 82555’s receive circuitry is isolated from the network. |
| ||
|
|
|
| ||
|
| Note that this may cause the descrambler to lose |
|
| |
|
| synchronization and produce 560 nanoseconds of “dead |
|
| |
|
| time.” |
|
| |
|
| Note also that the loopback configuration bit takes priority |
|
| |
|
| over the Loopback MDI bit. |
|
| |
|
| 1 | = Loopback enabled |
|
|
|
| 0 | = Loopback disabled (normal operation) |
|
|

13 | Speed Selection | This bit controls speed when | 1 | RW | |
|
| and is valid on read when |
| P | |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| 1 | = 100 Mbps |
|
|
|
| 0 | = 10 Mbps |
