DESCRIPTION
4,3
Extended
Timeout 1,2
ET1, ET2
These bits allow the network to operate over longer
distances than the default maximum 32 miles by controlling
the Response, Idle, and Reconfiguration Times. All nodes
should be configured with the same timeout values for
proper network operation. For the COM20019I with a 20
MHz crystal oscillator, the bit combinations follow:
ET2
0
1
ET1

Note: These values are for 312.5 Kbps and
RCNTMR[1,0]=00. Reconfiguration time is changed by the
RCNTMR1 and RCNTMR0 bits.
2
Backplane
BACK-
PLANE
A logic "1" on this bit puts the device into Backplane Mode
signaling which is used for Open Drain and Differential
Driver interfaces. This bit must be set to ‘1’ at the
COM20019I.
1,0
Sub Address 1,0
SUBAD

These bits determine which register at address 07 may be
accessed. The combinations are as follows:
SUBAD1

7
Pulse1 Mode
P1MODE
This bit determines the type of PULSE1 output driver used
in Backplane Mode. When high, a push/pull output is
used. When low, an open drain output is used. The
default is open drain.
6
Four NACKS
FOUR
NACKS
This bit, when set, will cause the EXNACK bit in the
Diagnostic Status Register to set after four NACKs to Free
Buffer Enquiry are detected by the COM20019I. This bit,
when reset, will set the EXNACK bit after 128 NACKs to
Free Buffer Enquiry. The default is 128.
5
Reserved
Do not set.
4
Receive All
RCVALL
This bit, when set, allows the COM20019I to receive all
valid data packets on the network, regardless of their
destination ID. This mode can be used to implement a
network monitor with the transmitter on- or off-line. Note
that ACKs are only sent for packets received with a
destination ID equal to the COM20019I's programmed
node ID. This feature can be used to put the COM20019I
in a 'listen-only' mode, where the transmitter is disabled
and the COM20019I is not passing tokens. Defaults low.
