MDIXM
R
0x0
MDI-X Mode. This is a read-only status as reported by the Auto-
Negation state machine: This bit is affected by the settings of the
MDIXEN and FORCEMDIX bits in the EPHYCTL register. When
MDIX is enabled, but not forced, this bit updates dynamically as the
Auto-MDIX algorithm swaps between MDI and MDI-X configurations.
0x0 = MDI pairs normal (Receive on TPRD pair, Transmit on TPTD
pair)
0x1 = MDI pairs swapped (Receive on TPTD pair, Transmit on
TPRD pair)
13
RXLERR
R
0x0
Receive Error Latch. This bit is cleared on a read of the
EPHYRXERCNT register.
0x0 = No receive error event has occurred.
0x1 = Receive error event has occurred since last read of
EPHYRXERCNT register (PHY offset 0x015).
12
POLSTAT
R
0x0
Polarity Status. This bit is a duplication of bit 4 (POLSTAT) in the
EPHY10BTSC register (PHY offset 0x01A). This bit is cleared upon
a read of the EPHY10BTSC register, but not on a read of the
EPHYSTS register.
0x0 = Correct Polarity detected.
0x1 = Inverted Polarity detected.
11
FCSL
R
0x0
False Carrier Sense Latch. This bit is cleared on a read of the
EPHYFCSR register.
0x0 = No False Carrier event has occurred.
0x1 = False Carrier event has occurred since last read of
EPHYFCSCR register (0x014).
10
SD
R
0x0
Signal Detect. This bit displays the active high 100Base-TX
unconditional Signal Detect indication from the PMD (Physical Layer
Medium Dependent). This bit is latched low and held until it is read,
based upon the occurrence of the corresponding event.
9
DL
R
0x0
Descrambler Lock. This bit displays the active high 100Base-TX
Descrambler Lock indication from PMD. This bit is latched low and
held until it is read, based upon the occurrence of the corresponding
event.
8
PAGERX
R
0x0
Link Code Page Received. This bit is not cleared upon a read of the
EPHYSTS register.
0x0 = Link Code Word Page has not been received.
0x1 = A new Link Code Word Page has been received. This is a
duplicate of Page Received (bit 1) in the EPHYANER register and it
is cleared on read of the EPHYANER register (0x006).
