MR1: Status Register
BIT SYMBOL TYPE DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
1.9 100T2_H R 0 100BASE-T2 Half Duplex Ability: Reads ‘0’ to indicate the
78Q2120C does not support 100Base-T2 full duplex mode.
1.8 EXTS R 0 Extended Status Information Availability: Reads ‘0’ to indicate the
78Q2120C does not support Extended Status information on MR15.
1.7 RSVD R 0 Reserved
1.6 MFPS R 0 Management Frame Preamble Suppression Support: A “0”
indicates that the 78Q2120C can read management frames with a
preamble.
1.5 ANEGC R 0 Auto-Negotiation Complete: A logic one indicates that the Auto-
Negotiation process has been completed, and that the contents of
registers MR4,5,6 are valid.
1.4 RFAULT RC 0 Remote Fault: A logic one indicates that a remote fault condition
has been detected and remains set until it is cleared. This bit can
only be cleared by reading this register (MR1) via the management
interface.
1.3 ANEGA R (1) Auto-Negotiation Ability: When set, this bit indicates the device’s
ability to perform Auto-Negotiation. The value of this bit is
determined by the ANEGEN bit (MR0.12).
1.2 LINK R 0 Link Status: A logic one indicates that a valid link has been
established. If the link status should transition from an OK status to
a NOT-OK status, this bit will become cleared and remains cleared
until it is read.
1.1 JAB RC 0 Jabber Detect: In 10Base-T mode, this bit is set during a jabber
event. After a jabber event, the bit remains set until cleared by a
read operation.
1.0 EXTD R 1 Extended Capability: Reads ’1’ to indicate the 78Q2120C provides
an extended register set (MR2 and beyond).
MR2: PHY Identifier Register 1
BIT SYMBOL TYPE VALUE DESCRIPTION
2.15:0 OUI
[23:6]
R 000Eh
Organizationally Unique Identifier: This value is 00-C0-39 for
TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation. This register contains the
first 16-bits of the identifier.
MR3: PHY Identifier Register 2
BIT SYMBOL TYPE VALUE DESCRIPTION
3.15:10 OUI
[5:0]
R 1Ch
Organizationally Unique Identifier: Remaining 6 bits of the OUI.
3.9:4 MN R 0Ch
Model Number: The last 2 digits of the model number 78Q2120C are
encoded into the 6 bits.
3.3:0 RN R 9h
Revision Number: The value ‘1001’ corresponds to the ninth revision
of the silicon.
