frame handling can be done by software, comprising:
• The frame handling (see Page 23-25)
• The general MLI features (see Page 23-42)
• The interface signals (see Page 23-49)
• The general MLI service request structure (see Page 23-55)

The frame handling is based on receiver and transmitter registers and the Transfer
Windows. Depending on the type of access to the Transfer Windows, different actions
take place inside the MLI module. Please refer to the following pages for the handling of:
• Copy Base Address Frame (see Page 23-26)
