RXFIFOFLOWTHRESH

0-3Fh

Receive FIFO flow control threshold. Occupancy of the receive FIFO when receive

 

 

 

FIFO flow control is triggered (if enabled). The default value is 2h, which means that

 

 

 

receive FIFO flow control is triggered when the occupancy of the FIFO reaches 2 cells.

Transmit FIFO cell threshold. Indicates the number of 64-byte packet cells required to

 

 

 

be in the transmit FIFO before the packet transfer is initiated. Packets with fewer cells

are initiated when the complete packet is contained in the FIFO. This value must be greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 24 (2 TXCELLTHRESH 24).
