Table 13-8. Command Descriptions

Command

Description

INIT

TX

AND

RX

PARAMS

Initialize transmit and receive parameters. Initializes the transmit and receive parameters in the
parameter RAM to the values that they had after the last reset of the CP. This command is especially
useful when switching protocols on a given peripheral controller.

INIT

RX

PARAMS

Initialize receive parameters. Initializes the receive parameters of the peripheral controller. Note that for
the MCCs, issuing this command initializes only 32 channels at a time; see Section 27.9, ÒMCC
Commands.
Ó

INIT

TX

PARAMS

Initialize transmit parameters. Initializes the transmit parameters of the peripheral controller. Note that
for the MCCs, issuing this command initializes only 32 channels at a time; see Section 27.9, ÒMCC
Commands.
Ó

ENTER

HUNT

MODE

Enter hunt mode. Causes the receiver to stop receiving and begin looking for a new frame. The exact
operation of this command may vary depending on the protocol used.

STOP

TX

Stop transmission. Aborts the transmission from this channel as soon as the transmit FIFO has been
emptied. It should be used in cases where transmission needs to be stopped as quickly as possible.
Transmission proceeds when the

RESTART

command is issued.

GRACEFUL

STOP

TX

Graceful stop transmission. Stops the transmission from this channel as soon as the current frame has
been fully transmitted from the transmit FIFO. Transmission proceeds when the RESTART command is
issued and the R-bit is set in the next TxBD.

RESTART

TX

Restart transmission. Once the STOP TX command has been issued, this command is used to restart
transmission at the current BD.

CLOSE

RXBD

Close RxBD. Causes the receiver to close the current RxBD, making the receive buffer immediately
available for manipulation by the user. Reception continues using the next available BD. Can be used to
access the buffer without waiting until the buffer is completely Þlled by the SCC.

START

IDMA

See Section 18.9, ÒIDMA Commands.Ó

STOP

IDMA

See Section 18.9, ÒIDMA Commands.Ó

SET

TIMER

Set timer. Activates, deactivates, or reconÞgures one of the 16 timers in the RISC timer table.

SET

GROUP

ADDRESS

Set group address. Sets a bit in the hash table for the Ethernet logical group address recognition
function.

GCI

ABORT

REQUEST

GCI abort request. The GCI receiver sends an abort request on the E-bit.

GCI

TIMEOUT

GCI time-out. The GCI performs the timeout function.

RESET

BCS

Reset block check sequence. Used in BISYNC mode to reset the block check sequence calculation.

MCC

STOP

TRANSMIT

See Section 27.9, ÒMCC Commands.Ó

MCC

STOP

RECEIVE

See Section 27.9, ÒMCC Commands.Ó

ATM

TRANSMIT

See Section 29.14, ÒATM Transmit Command.Ó

RANDOM

NUMBER

Generate a random number and put it in dual-port RAM; see RAND in Table 13-10.
