In the QuIET device mode, DIR[1] has the following values:
DIR[1]
0
QuIET device drives SDATA with sta-
tus and device ID.
IMR2 device drives QuIET device
with commands.
1
DIR[1] continually cycles. The state of DIR changes
once every 50-bit times (1-bit time = 100 ns). When
DIR[1] switches from 1 to 0, the QuIET device re-
sponds in the following format:

Each character corresponds to a bit. Each bit is held for 2-
bit times (200 ns). The IMR2 device uses the 01010 pre-
amble to determine if the transceiver is a QuIET device. If
any other sequence is received, the SDATA[n] pins be-
have as if a non-QuIET device transceiver is connected.
On the SDATA[n] pins that return the correct preamble,
the IMR2 device transmits the following sequence
when DIR[1] switches from 0 to 1.

Control and Status for Non-QuIET Transceivers
On the SDATA[n] pins that do not return the correct pre-
amble, the IMR2 device expects to see data correspond-
ing to the polarity status of the port. The corresponding
signals for each port on the transceiver should be con-
nected to a 4-to-1 multiplexer with DIR utilized as the
control lines. The multiplexer should behave as follows:
DIR[1:0] rotates through the 10
regardless of the mode of SDATA[n]. The mode of each
SDATA[n] pin can change with each cycle as transceiv-
ers are removed or inserted.
Visual Status Monitoring (LED) Support
The IMR2 device has a status port which can be con-
nected to LEDs to facilitate visual monitoring of differ-
ent repeater ports. Five port status attributes can be
monitored: Carrier Sense (CRS), Collision (COLX),
Partition (PART), Link Status (LINK), and Polarity
(POL). The status of the ports is indicated on an 8-bit
bus, LD[7:0], which is time multiplexed to show all five
attributes for up to 16 ports. BSEL is the port select pin.
When the select pin (BSEL) is LOW, LD[7:0] has the
status of ports P7 through P0. When BSEL is HIGH,
LD[3:0] has the status of P11 through P8, LD[4] has the
status of the AUI port, and LD[5] has the status of the
RAUI port. LD[7:6]is used to display the port status of
a fourth QuIET device that optionally may be shared
with another IMR2 device.

CRS, COLX, PART, LINK, and POL are the attribute se-
lect pins. When an attribute select pin is HIGH, LD[7:0]
indicates the corresponding status attribute. The Status
Monitoring port continually cycles as per 5. Each strobe
is active for 64-bit times (6.4
cent duty cycle. The following table gives the value of
LD[7:0] corresponding to the Attribute Select signal.
