Port Configuration
The LXT98x0 powers up in auto-negotiation mode for all twisted-pair ports. Software can monitor
or change the configuration through the PHY Port Control Register.
3.2.1
Auto-Negotiation
All TP ports on power up are configured to establish its link via auto-negotiation. The port and its
link partner establish link conditions by exchanging Fast Link Pulse (FLP) bursts. Each FLP burst
contains 16 bits of data advertising the port
’
s capabilities. The FLP bursts sent by the port are
maintained in its auto-negotiation advertisement register (
Table 71 on page 107
). The link partner
’
s
abilities are stored in the auto-negotiation link partner register (
Table 66 on page 104
). Status can
be observed in the respective auto-negotiation status register (
Table 65 on page 104
). Each port has
its own advertisement, link partner advertisement, auto-negotiation expansion, auto-negotiation
status registers, and control register.
The advertisement register is read-only, except for bits 5, 7, and 13. The LXT98x0 can advertise
100 Mbps half-duplex and/or 10 Mbps half-duplex; it never advertises full duplex.
If the link partner does not support auto-negotiation, the LXT98x0 determines link state by
listening for 100 Mbps IDLE symbols or 10 Mbps link pulses. If it detects either of these signals, it
configures the port and updates the status registers appropriately.
