Port Status 0 0F07
This option can be a bit confusing, in that even though its called Port 0 status, it doesn't only apply
to port 0. The status for port 1 is taken from this register also.
There are 5 ethernet ports controlled by the Hub IC. The Terminal uses 3 of these. Port 0 is the
Internal link to the LAN IC, Port 1 is the Lower (Main) link and Port 2 is Upper (Aux) link.
The status of these links make up the 4 digit hex number. Using the example of 0F07, this will be:
0 - Not Used
F - Port 1 Status (In this example - Flow Control Enabled, Full Duplex, 100Mbit, Link OK)
0 - Not Used
7 - Port 0 Status (In this example - Flow Control Disabled, Full Duplex, 100Mbit, Link OK)
The lowest digit (4th) (the 7 in the above 0F07 example) shows the status of the Terminal (Internal
LAN IC) link. Convert this number to binary to determine its current value. These 4 bits are:
Bit 3 - Port 0 - Flow control Enable (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled)
Bit 2 - Port 0 - Duplex Status (0 = Half Duplex, 1 = Full Duplex)
Bit 1 - Port 0 - Speed Status (0 = 10MB, 1 = 100MB)
Bit 0 - Port 0 - Link Status (0 = No Link, 1 = Link OK)
The 2nd digit (the F in the above 0F07 example) shows the status of the Lower (Main) link. These 4
bits are:
Bit 11 - Port 1 - Flow control Enable (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled)
Bit 10 - Port 1 - Duplex Status (0 = Half Duplex, 1 = Full Duplex)
Bit 9 - Port 1 - Speed Status (0 = 10MB, 1 = 100MB)
Bit 8 - Port 1 - Link Status (0 = No Link, 1 = Link OK)
Currently the Upper (Aux) link condition is not displayed in the Hub Status Menu
Port Status 1 001B
This Hub IC version has no 5th port and so this status register should always read as 001B. Any
other value indicates a fault:
Cable Broken 0000
Normally should be 0000. Even when no cable(s) are connected.
Should a cable be connected but one wire is broken, then the port and cable length to the break is
indicated here.
Bit 14 = Port 2 Upper (Aux) Cable is Broken
Bits 13,12 = Port 2 Upper (Aux) Cable Broken Length
Bit 8 = Port 1 Lower (Main) Cable is Broken
Bits 7,6 = Port 1 Lower (Main) Cable Broken Length
Bit 2 = Port 0 Terminal (Internal ) Cable is Broken
Bits 1,0 = Port 0 Terminal (Internal ) Cable Broken Length
Chip ID 7102
The Chip Identification number. For the current Hub IC this should be 7102, indicating an
AS+DM6996LCX hub IC.
