ENABLE
Set this bit to 1 to enable Clause 37 Auto
-
Negotiation.
The default value is 1.

RW
Reset
Set this bit to 1 to generate a synchronous reset pulse
which resets all the PCS state machines, comma
detection function, and the 8B/10B encoder and
decoder. For normal operation, set this bit to 0. This
bit self clears.
