Bit Field Description Init Access
15 Lineside [Remote]
Loopback Enable
Setting bit 15 enables lineside [remote] loopback of the
copper receive packet back out through the MDI transmit
path.
• 1 = Enable lineside [remote] loopback from MDI (cable
end) receive packet, through PCS and back to MDI
transmit packet.
• 0 = Disable loopback.
0R/W
14:12 Reserved Write as 0, ignore on read. 000 R/W
11 Lineside [Remote]
Loopback Tri-state
Setting bit 11 tri-states the receive MII pins when the device
is in lineside [remote] loopback mode.
• 1 = Tri-state the receive MII pins when lineside [remote]
loopback is enabled.
• 0 = Lineside [remote] loopback packets appear on MII.
10:5 Reserved Write as 0, ignore on read 00h R/W
4 Swap RX MDIX When this bit is set to 1, the transmitter and receiver operate
on the same twisted-pair. This function is for use in a test
mode in which the transmitter output is detected by the
receiver attached to the same pair.
• 1 = RX and TX operate on same pair.
• 0 = Normal operation.
0RO
3 TXHalfout Setting this bit to 1 reduces the output of the transmitter to half
of its normal amplitude when operating in 10 Mbit or
100BASE-TX mode. Setting it to 0 restores full amplitude
operation. This function is for use in a test mode in which an
unterminated output delivers a reflected signal with twice the
amplitude of a terminated output.
• 1 = Transmit 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T at half amplitude.
• 0 = Normal operation.
0R/W
2:0 Shadow Register
Select
The Auxiliary Control Register provides access to eight
registers using a shadow technique. These three bits written
define which set of 13 upper bits is used. No setup is required.
Register reads are determined by the previous write
operation.
• 000 = Normal Operation
• 001 = 10 BASE-T Register.
• 010 = Power Control Register
• 011 = Reserved.
• 100 = Misc Test Register 1
• 101 = Misc Test Register 2
• 110 = Reserved.
• 111 = Misc Control Register
000 R/W
