10.0 Internal Registers
(Continued)
CURRENT PAGE REGISTER (CURR)
This register is used internally by the Buffer Management
Logic as a backup register for reception. CURR contains the
address of the first buffer to be used for a packet reception
and is used to restore DMA pointers in the event of receive
errors. This register is initialized to the same value as
PSTART and should not be written to again unless the con-
troller is Reset.

10.7 REMOTE DMA REGISTERS
REMOTE START ADDRESS REGISTERS (RSAR0,1)
Remote DMA operations are programmed via the Remote
Start
Address
(RSAR0,1)
(RBCR0,1) registers. The Remote Start Address is used to
point to the start of the block of data to be transferred and
the Remote Byte Count is used to indicate the length of the
block (in bytes).

Note:
RSAR0 programs the start address bits A0–A7.
RSAR1 programs the start address bits A8–A15.
Address incremented by two for word transfers, and by one for byte trans-
fers.
Byte Count decremented by two for word transfers and by one for byte
transfers.
RBCR0 programs LSB byte count.
RBCR1 programs MSB byte count.

10.8 PHYSICAL ADDRESS REGISTERS (PAR0–PAR5)
The physical address registers are used to compare the
destination address of incoming packets for rejecting or ac-
cepting packets. Comparisons are performed on a byte-
wide basis. The bit assignment shown below relates the se-
quence in PAR0–PAR5 to the bit sequence of the received
packet.

10.9 MULTICAST ADDRESS REGISTERS (MAR0–MAR7)
The multicast address registers provide filtering of multicast
addresses hashed by the CRC logic. All destination ad-
dresses are fed through the CRC logic and as the last bit of
the destination address enters the CRC, the 6 most signifi-
cant bits of the CRC generator are latched. These 6 bits are
then decoded by a 1 of 64 decode to index a unique filter bit
(FB0–63) in the multicast address registers. If the filter bit
selected is set, the multicast packet is accepted. The sys-
tem designer would use a program to determine which filter
bits to set in the multicast registers. All multicast filter bits
that correspond to multicast address accepted by the node
are then set to one. To accept all multicast packets all of
the registers are set to all ones.
Note:
Although the hashing algorithm does not guarantee perfect filtering of
multicast address, it will perfectly filter up to 64 multicast addresses if
these addresses are chosen to map into unique locations in the multi-
cast filter.
