Down

 

PHY Control Register bit 11 is used to

 

 

 

 

 

power down the Ethernet controller or

 

 

 

 

 

when the PHY enters the energy detect

 

 

 

 

 

state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1b

= 125CLK Low.

Reserved

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bit is reserved for all Ethernet

Retain

Distance

When a cable longer than 100 m is

 

 

 

 

 

 

used, the 10BASE-T receive threshold

 

 

 

 

 

must be lowered in order to detect

 

 

 

 

 

incoming signals.
