EAC Card
Transmit/Receive Control Layer
The transmit/receive control layer:
Obtains data from the RAM and transfers it to the serial conversion for trans-
mission to the line.
Filters out frames that the control program does not support. If IP Dynamics is
supported, this filtering process is made more flexible by using an Ethernet
Type table provided by the control program by the Set Mode command.
Receives data from the serial conversion layer and transfers it to the RAM.
Provides status to the CSP layer after each transmit/receive operation.
Generates CRC.
Checks CRC.
Checks network addresses.
Synchronizes adapter with network.
Checks receive frame lengths.
Serial Conversion and Coding Layer
The serial conversion and coding layer:
Converts from parallel to serial data on transmit.
Converts from serial to parallel data on receive.
Converts to/from binary from/to differential Manchester code.
Isolation Layer
The isolation layer:
Provides electrical isolation from the transceivers.
Reset EAC
All latches are reset, the DMA is disabled, the card is kept in 'freeze mode' (EAC
not operational) until the CSP loads the microcode.
