CONFIGURATION REGISTER 5 ADDRESS (0Ah) R/W TX SIGNAL FIELD
Bits 7:4
R/W but not currently used internally, should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions.
Bits 3
Select preamble mode
0 = Normal, long preamble interoperable with 1 and 2Mbps legacy equipment
1= short preamble and header mode (optional in 802.11)
Bit 2
reserved, must be set to 0
Bits 1:0
TX data Rate. Must be set at least 2
μ
s before needed in TX frame. This selects TX signal field code from the registers above.
00 = DBPSK - 11 chip sequence (1Mbps)
01 = DQPSK - 11 chip sequence (2Mbps)
10 = CCK - 8 chip sequence (5.5Mbps)
11 = CCK - 8 chip sequence (11Mbps)
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 6 ADDRESS (0Ch) R/W TX SERVICE FIELD
Bits 7:0
R/W but not currently used internally, should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions. Bit 7 may be employed
by the MAC in 802.11 situations to resolve an ambiguity in the length field when in the 11Mbps mode.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 7 ADDRESS (0Eh) R/W TX LENGTH FIELD (HIGH)
Bits 7:0
This 8-bit register contains the higher byte (bits 8-15) of the transmit Length Field described in the Header. This byte combined
with the lower byte indicates the number of microseconds the data packet will take.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 8 ADDRESS (10h) R/W TX LENGTH FIELD (LOW)
Bits 7:0
This 8-bit register contains the lower byte (bits 0-7) of the transmit Length Field described in the Header. This byte combined
with the higher byte indicates the number of microseconds the data packet will take.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 9 ADDRESS (12h) R/W TX CONFIGURE
Bit 7
Unused
Bits 6:5
CCA mode
00 - CCA is based only on ED
01 - CCA is based on (CS1 OR CS2)
10 - CCA is based on (ED AND (CS1 OR CS2))
11 - CCA is based on CS2 only
Bit 4
Reserved, must be set to 0
Bit 3
Reserved, must be set to 0
Bit 2:1
TX Antenna Selection
0x = set antenna select pin low during transmit
1x = set antenna select pin high during transmit
Bit 0
R/W but not currently used internally, should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 10 ADDRESS (14h) R/W RX CONFIGURE
Bit 7
Acquisition mode
0 - Use CS1 followed by CS2, or two consecutive CS2s
1 - Use only consecutive CS2s
Bit 6
R/W but not currently used internally, should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions.

Bit 3
MD_RDY control
0 = After CRC16
1 = After SFD
Bit 2
R/W but not currently used internally, should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions.
Bit 1
antenna choice for Receive
0 = Antenna select pin low
1 = Antenna select pin high
Bit 0
R/W but not currently used internally, should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions.
