Next page: The ST802RT1x supports next page capability.
Reserved: Ignore output when read.
Remote fault: Writing a “1” to bit 13 of the advertisement register causes a remote fault
indicator to be sent to the link partner during auto-negotiation. Writing a “0” to this bit or
resetting the chip clears the remote fault transmission bit. This bit returns the value last
written to it, or else “0” if no write has been completed since the last chip reset.
Asymmetric pause: write '1' if asymmetric pause is supported by MAC when full-duplex link
is available. 1 = Advertise that the DTE (MAC) has implemented both the optional MAC
control sub layer and the pause function as specified in clause 31 and annex 31B of 802.3u.
0 = No MAC based full-duplex flow control.
Pause: The use of this bit is independent of the negotiated data rate, medium, or link
technology. The setting of this bit indicates the availability of additional DTE capability when
full-duplex operation is in use. This bit is used by one MAC to communicate symmetric
pause capability to its link partner, and has no effect on PHY operation.
Advertisement bits: Bits 9:5 of the advertisement register allow the user to customize the
ability information transmitted to the link partner. The default value for each bit reflects the
abilities of the ST802RT1x. By writing a “1” to any of the bits, the corresponding ability is
transmitted to the link partner. Writing a “0” to any bit causes the corresponding ability to be
