PAM
Physical Address Match is set by
the PCnet-PCI II controller when
it accepts the received frame due
to a match of the frame’s
destination address with the con-
tent of the physical address
register. PAM is valid only when
ENP is set. PAM is set by the
PCnet-PCI II controller and
cleared by the host.

BAM, but not LAFM will be set

such a way that a Broadcast
frame would pass the hash filter.

set on the reception of a

BAM
Broadcast Address Match is set
by the PCnet-PCI II controller
when it accepts the received
frame because the frame’s desti-

“Broadcast”. BAM is valid only
when ENP is set. BAM is set by
the PCnet-PCI II controller and

RCC
Receive Collision Count. Indi-
cates the accumulated number of
collisions detected on the net-
work since the last packet was
received, excluding collisions
that occurred during transmis-
sions from this node. The
PCnet-PCI II controller imple-
mentation of this counter may not
be compatible with the ILACC
RCC definition. If network statis-
tics are to be monitored, then
CSR114 should be used for the
purpose of monitoring receive
collisions instead of these bits.
23–16
RPC
Runt Packet Count. Indicates the
accumulated number of runts
that were addressed to this node
since the last time that a receive
packet was successfully re-
ceived and its corresponding
RMD2 ring entry was written to
by the PCnet-PCI II controller. In
order to be included in the RPC
value, a runt must be long
enough to meet the minimum re-
quirement of the internal address
matching logic. The minimum re-
quirement for a runt to pass the
internal
address
mechanism is: 18 bits of valid
matching
