Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register
(register 4)
The Auto-Negotiation advertisement register is a 16-bit read/
write register used to indicate the basic capabilities of the
local device. The values written into this register are exchanged
with the remote link partner to determine the best link technol-
ogy to enable. Normally it is desirable to advertise all of the
capabilities supported by a node. In some cases a certain
technology is not desired and in this case the corresponding
bit can be set to logic zero. If a connection cannot be made in
this case, management should enable all of the capabilities
possessed and restart Auto-Negotiation.
Next Page (bit 15)
The
ICS1890
does not support the next page function. This bit
is permanently set to a logic zero.
Reserved by IEEE (bit 14)
This reserved bit has no effect on the
ICS1890
. When read,
a logic zero is always returned.
