Chapter 10: LPC176x/5x Ethernet
Magic Packet filtering is enabled by setting the MagicPacketEnWoL bit of the RxFilterCtrl 
register. Note that when doing Magic Packet WoL, the RxFilterEnWoL bit in the 
RxFilterCtrl register should be 0. Setting the RxFilterEnWoL bit to 1 would accept all 
packets for a matching address, not just the Magic Packets i.e. WoL using Magic Packets 
is more strict.
When a magic packet is detected, apart from the WakeupInt bit in the IntStatus register, 
the MagicPacketWoL bit is set in the RxFilterWoLStatus register. Software can reset the 
bit writing a 1 to the corresponding bit of the RxFilterWoLClear register.
Example: An example of a Magic Packet with station address 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44 0x55 
0x66 is the following (MISC indicates miscellaneous additional data bytes in the packet):
<DESTINATION> <SOURCE> <MISC>
FF FF FF FF FF FF
11 22 33 44 55 66 11 22 33 44 55 66
11 22 33 44 55 66 11 22 33 44 55 66

10.17.13 Enabling and disabling receive and transmit
Enabling and disabling reception
After reset, the receive function of the Ethernet block is disabled. The receive function can 
be enabled by the device driver setting the RxEnable bit in the Command register and the 
“RECEIVE ENABLE’ bit in the MAC1 configuration register (in that order).
The status of the receive data path can be monitored by the device driver by reading the 
RxStatus bit of the Status register. Figure 25
 illustrates the state machine for the 
generation of the RxStatus bit.
