TNETE211 Register Descriptions

Table B±4. ThunderLAN PHY Status Register Bits (Continued)

Bit	Name	Function
3	TRFRTO	Training frame time out: This bit indicates that the PMI is in training, the training frame
		has not been received in 273 ∝s, and that another training frame should be sent. If the
		INTEN bit is also set, this causes an MII interrupt.
2	RTRIDL	Receive training idles: This bit indicates that the the PMI is receiving training idles from
		the repeater, indicating that the station should enter training. This bit is autoclearing,
		and is latched until read. If the INTEN bit is also set, this causes an MII interrupt.
1	LRCV	Long receive: This bit indicates that the PMI has detected a long receive (receive jab-
		ber) condition from the PMA. This bit is autoclearing, and is latched until read. If the
		INTEN bit is also set, this causes an MII interrupt.
0	LSIL	Long silence: This bit indicates that the PMI has detected a long silence condition from
		the PMA. This bit is autoclearing and is latched until read. If the INTEN bit is also set,
		this causes an MII interrupt.
