Register Bank 7: Management Support
These registers control packet compression and error
sampling. The Management Support Registers can be
accessed by writing 0000 0111 to the C Register and
then writing the register address to the C Register.
Device ID
Address:
The Device ID Register is a read/write register. It is an
8-bit register and contains the assigned ID number of
the IMR2 device. This number is transmitted as part of
the tag field by the Packet Report Port.

Sample Error Status
Address:
Sample Error Status gives statistical data on packets that
have errors. It is a 4-deep 8-byte FIFO. Each read re-
quires accessing the data register eight times. The ac-
cess can jump to the next level of the FIFO in the middle
of a read by writing any value to the node processor port
with the C/D pin HIGH. If the node processor port is ac-
cessed (with the C/D pin LOW) after the last byte is read,
