Loopback Error Change Interrupt
Address:
1110 0011
If a port is connected to a MAU which does not loop-
back data from DO to DI during transmission that port
has a loopback error. For the error to be detected, the
network needs to be active and a packet transmitted
from the port. The corresponding bit is set to 1 when
the loopback error condition changes.

Polarity Change Interrupt
Address:
1110 0100
The corresponding bit is set to 1 if the polarity of the
connected port is switched.

SQE Test Error Change Interrupt
Address:
1110 0101
If a port is connected to a MAU with SQE Test enabled
that port has an SQE Test Error. For the error to be de-
tected, the network needs to be active and a packet
must be transmitted from the port. The corresponding
bit on the register is set when the port changes from an
error state to a non-error state or from a non-error state
to an error state.

Source Address Changed Interrupt
Address:
1110 0110
The corresponding bit in the register is set when the
source address of the incoming data packet matches
neither the Last Source Address Register nor the Pre-
ferred Source Address Register associated with the
port. The incoming packet must be an error-free packet.

Intruder Interrupt
Address:
A bit on the Intruder Interrupt Register is set when the
source address of an error-free incoming packet does not
match the corresponding Preferred Source Address Reg-
ister. The incoming packet must be an error-free packet.
1110 0111
Note:
The Preferred Address attribute is programma-
ble and can be used to store the expected Node ID for
a port. If the appropriate interrupt is also enabled, then
a Source Address Changed can be used to alert the
network manager of an unauthorized access. This is
particularly useful for segments that are supposed to
be connected to a single station.

Source Address Match Interrupt
Address:
1110 1000
When the source address of an incoming packet from
any port matches the Source Address Match Register,
the appropriate bit is set. The received packet must be
an error-free packet.
