Repeater Device and Revision Register
Address:
1111 1100
This is a read only register. The 8-bit quantity read has
the following format:
D
Device Type. These bits contain the IMR2
device code.
D3-0
0010
IMR2
V
Revision Number. These bits contain the revision
number. Software may interrogate these bits to de-
termine additional features that may be available
with future versions of the device.
V3-0 0000
Revision 0
Device Configuration
Address:
This is a read/write register. When this register is writ-
ten, zeros must be written into unassigned fields. The
8-bit quantity has the following format:
1111 1101
R
Repeater Reset. Setting Bit R resets the registers,
repeater, and MAC engine. It is the functional
equivalent of hardware reset, with the exception
that the microprocessor interface is not reset and
the ability to access RMON and port attribute reg-
isters is maintained.
Management Reset. Setting this bit causes the
MAC engine to be reset. When the M bit is set, the
IMR2 device still functions as a repeater, however
MIB tracking is disabled. Setting this bit also allows
the RMON registers and the attribute registers to
be preset by software.
This bit configures the RAUI port. The configura-
tion options are:
0
Normal Mode. The RAUI port is configured
as a standard AUI port.
1
Reverse Mode. RCI is an output, i.e., RCI
generates a 10-MHz signal during a collision.
Register Bank 1: Interrupts
When a bit on an interrupt register is set, the interrupt
bit on the Status Register is set and the INT pin is
driven. These registers are accessed by writing the bit
M
A
pattern 0000 0001 to the C Register. These registers
are read only and are cleared to 0 upon reading. When
all the interrupt registers are clear (all bits zero), the In-
terrupt bit of the Status Register and INT are cleared.
Note that for each interrupt register there is a corre-
sponding interrupt enable register. The bits on the inter-
rupt register cannot set unless the corresponding bits
on the corresponding interrupt enable register are set.
Port Partition Status Change Interrupt
Address:
1110 0000
Any port changing state between partitioned and re-
connected causes the appropriate register bit to be set
to 1.
The format is as follows:
Pn/AUI/RAUI
0
Partition status of corresponding
port unchanged
Partition status of corresponding
port changed
1
Runts with Good FCS Interrupt
Address:
1110 0001
Any port receiving a packet that is less than 64 octets
(not including preamble and SFD), but is otherwise well
formed and error free, causes the appropriate bit to be
set. The format is as follows:
Pn/AUI/RAUI/EP
0
1
No runts with valid FCS
Runt with valid FCS
Link Status Change Interrupt
Address:
1110 0010
A change in the Link Test state of a twisted pair port
associated with a repeater port (from fail to pass or pass
to fail) causes the appropriate bit to be set in this register.
This register is only valid when a QuIET device is
connected to the corresponding port(s).
