Description
4
TXFLOWEN
Transmit flow control enable bit. This bit determines if incoming pause frames are acted upon
in full-duplex mode. Incoming pause frames are not acted upon in half-duplex mode,
regardless of this bit setting. The RXMBPENABLE bits determine whether or not received
pause frames are transferred to memory.
0
Transmit flow control is disabled. Full-duplex mode: incoming pause frames are not acted
upon.
1
Transmit flow control is enabled. Full-duplex mode: incoming pause frames are acted upon.
3
RXBUFFERFLOWEN
Receive buffer flow control enable bit
0
Receive flow control is disabled. Half-duplex mode: no flow control generated collisions are
sent. Full-duplex mode: no outgoing pause frames are sent.
1
Receive flow control is enabled. Half-duplex mode: collisions are initiated when receive buffer
flow control is triggered. Full-duplex mode: outgoing pause frames are sent when receive flow
control is triggered.

Reserved
1
LOOPBACK
Loopback mode. The loopback mode forces internal full-duplex mode regardless of the
FULLDUPLEX bit. The loopback bit should be changed only when GMIIEN bit is deasserted.
0
Loopback mode is disabled.
1
Loopback mode is enabled.
0
FULLDUPLEX
Full duplex mode.
0
Half-duplex mode is enabled.
1
Full-duplex mode is enabled.
