TXPAUSEADD_2:0

Operation of TX Pause Control Interface

 

 

0x0

Transmits a PAUSE frame on every port with a pause_time = ZERO (XON)

(Cancels all previous pause commands).

 

 

 

0x1

Transmits a PAUSE frame on port 0 with pause_time equal to the value programmed

in the port 0 “FC TX Timer Value ($ Port_Index + 0x07)" (XOFF).

 

 

 

0x2

Transmits a PAUSE frame on port 1 with pause_time equal to the value programmed

in the port 1 “FC TX Timer Value ($ Port_Index + 0x07)" (XOFF).

 

 

 

0x3

Transmits a PAUSE frame on port 2 with pause_time equal to the value programmed

in the port 2 “FC TX Timer Value ($ Port_Index + 0x07)" (XOFF).

 

 

 

0x4

Transmits a PAUSE frame on port 3 with pause_time equal to the value programmed

in the port 3 “FC TX Timer Value ($ Port_Index + 0x07)" (XOFF).

 

 

 

0x5 to 0x6

Reserved. Do not use these addresses. The TX Pause Control interface will not

operate under these conditions.

 

 

 

0x7

Transmits a PAUSE frame on every port with pause_time equal to the value

programmed in the “FC TX Timer Value ($ Port_Index + 0x07)" for each port (XOFF).
