Disable Automatic Receiver Polarity Reversal (Per TP
Port)
SI Data
0110 00##
SO Data
None
This command disables the Automatic Receiver Polarity
Reversal function for the TP port designated by the two
least-significant bits in the command byte. If this func-
tion is disabled on a TP port receiving with reversed
polarity (due to a wiring error), the TP port will fail the
Link Test due to the incorrect polarity of the received
Link pulses.
The state of Automatic Polarity Reversal function is set
by SI on reset. If SI is HIGH at the rising edge of RST,
the eIMR device disables Automatic Polarity Reversal.
If SI is LOW at the rising edge of RST, the eIMR device
enables Automatic Polarity Reversal.
Enable Automatic Receiver Polarity Reversal (Per TP
Port)
SI Data
0111 00##
SO Data
None
This command enables the Automatic Receiver Polarity
Reversal function for the TP port designated by the two
least-significant bits in the command byte. If enabled in
a TP port, the eIMR chip will automatically invert the
polarity of that port’s receiver circuitry if the TP port is
detected as having reversed polarity (due to wiring er-
ror). After reversing the receiver polarity, the TP port
could then receive subsequent (reverse polarity)
packets correctly.
Disable Receiver Extended Distance Mode (Per TP
Port)
SI Data
0110 10##
SO Data
None
This command disables the Receiver Extended
Distance Mode and restores the RXD circuit of the trans-
ceiver to normal squelch levels for the TP port driver
designated by the two least-significant bits of the com-
mand data.
Enable Receiver Extended Distance Mode (Per TP Port)
SI Data
0111 10##
SO Data
None
This command modifies the RXD circuit of the trans-
ceiver for the TP port driver designated by the two least-
significant bits of the command data. The RXD squelch-
threshold value is lowered to accommodate signal at-
tenuation associated with lines longer than 100 meters.
At reset, Receiver Extended Distance Mode is disabled
and the RXD circuit defaults to normal squelch-thresh-
old values.
