Reset Channel 4 Tx FIFO (Pulsed)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will cause the channel 4 Tx FIFOs to be reset. If the
channel 4 Tx Almost register is not a value of 0x00000000 then this will also
cause the channel 4 Tx FIFOs almost flags to be programmed. After setting this
bit to a ‘1’, it is the software’s responsibility to delay approximately 10ms before
accessing the local side of the board again. This bit is a self-timed pulse;
therefore, it is not necessary for software to return to clear this bit, it will clear
itself.

Reset Channel 4 Rx FIFO (Pulsed)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will cause the channel 4 Rx FIFOs to be reset. If the
channel 4 Rx Almost register is not a value of 0x00000000 then this will also
cause the channel 4 Rx FIFOs almost flags to be programmed. After setting this
bit to a ‘1’, it is the software’s responsibility to delay approximately 10ms before
accessing the local side of the board again. This bit is a self-timed pulse;
therefore, it is not necessary for soft ware to return to clear this bit, it will clear
itself.
D2
Enable the Channel 4 Transmitters for the Upper portion of the cable (will drive the
cable)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will turn on the transmitters for the Channel 4 upper
portion of the cable. The signals that are turned on are the Channel 4 TxD and
Channel 4 CTS on the upper portion of the cable. This will cause these signals
on the cable to go from a tri-state condition to a driven state.
D3
Enable the Channel 4 Transmitters for the Lower portion of the cable (will drive the
Cable)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will turn on the transmitters for the Channel 4 lower
portion of the cable. The signals that are turned on are the Channel 4 TxD and
Channel 4 CTS on the lower portion of the cable. This will cause these signals
on the cable to go from a tri-state condition to a driven state.
D4
Enable the Channel 4 Receivers for the Upper portion of the cable (will load the cable)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will turn on the receivers for the Channel 4 upper portion
of the cable. The signals that are turned on are the Channel 4 RxD and Channel
4 DCD on the upper portion of the cable. This will cause these signals on the
cable to go from a tri-state condition to a loaded condition.
D5
Enable the Channel 4 Receivers for the Lower portion of the cable (will load the cable)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will turn on the receivers for the Channel 4 lower portion
of the cable. The signals that are turned on are the Channel 4 RxD and Channel
4 DCD on the lower portion of the cable. This will cause these signals on the
cable to go from a tri-state condition to a loaded condition.
