Bits Description Type Default
15:0 SYM_ERR_CNT
The symbol error counter increments whe
never an invalid code symbol is
received (including IDLE symbols) in 100BASE-TX mode. The counter is
incremented only once per packet, even when the received packet contains
more than one symbol error. This counter increments up to 65,536 (2
16
) and
rolls over to 0 after reaching the maximum value.
Note: This re
gister is cleared on reset, but is not cleared by reading the
register. This register does not increment in 10BASE-T mode.
