7Broadcast
disable 1 = Prevents broadcast packets from being passed to the application logic.
6Receive runt
packet 1 = Causes runt packets to be passed to the application logic.
0 = Runt packets are dropped.
5Address filter
enable 1 = Causes address filtering to take place. Non-broadcast packets are only
passed to the application logic if they pass the address filter.
4Loopback
enable
1 = Causes loop-back operation.
Note: In order for the loop-back operation to operate correctly, the Ethernet
coprocessor requires synchronous and in-phase clocks to be provided
on the rx_clk and tx_clk pins.
3 Pause enable
1 = Enables detection of Pause frames. Upon detecting a pause frame, data
transmission is halted based on the data in the pause frame. The 2-byte data of
the received pause frame indicates the time, as a number of 512 bit times, to
halt the transmission.
2 Send CRC 1 = Causes the CRC data to be sent to the application logic.
