VT86C100A Command Status Registers
MAC command and status register Group
CR0:
Command Register 0 (08H; Type=R/W)
This register is used to select register pages, enable or disable remote DMA operation and issue
commands.
Reserved
This bit indicates that the VT86C100A receive poll demand enable
This bit indicates that the VT86C100A transmit poll demand enable
This bit indicates that the VT86C100A start transmit state while STRT bit on
This bit indicates that the VT86C100A start receive state while STRT bit on
This bit indicates that the VT86C100A into STOP state , this bit set by SFRST bit or
hardware reset
This bit indicates that VT86C100A enter the start command.
Initialize Start : When set on the VT86C100A start to set its bus master register the start

CR1:
Command Register 1 (09H; Type=R/W)
This register is used to select register pages, enable or disable remote DMA operation and issue
commands.
This bit is set when VT86C100A enters reset state and is cleared when a start command is
issued to the CR1. It is also set when receive buffer overflows or system error.
Reserved
Disable transmit auto polling
This bit set MAC to full duplex in 10BaseT or 100BaseT mode
Early transmit mode enable while CFGD[1] be enable, this bit be clear while hardware
reset only
Early receive mode enable while CFGD[0] be enable, this bit be clear while hardware reset
only

PRO
If PRO=1, all packets with physical destination address are accepted. If PRO=0, physical
address must match the node address programmed in PAR0-5
AB
If AB=1, packets with broadcast destination address are accepted. If AM=0, packets with
broadcast destination are rejected.
AM
If AM=1, packets with multicast destination address are accepted. If AM=0, packets with
multicast destination are rejected.
