DP83867IS: Confirming if a Link has been Established

Part Number: DP83867IS

For a 1Gbps application where the PHY communicates with a HUB,
I understand the following register values can be used to check if a Link has been established or not.

  • After Autonegotiation completes look at the PHY Register:
    BMSR - Bit#5 "AUTO-NEGOTIATION COMPLETE")
  • Confirm the Link Status by looking at the PHY Register:
    BMSR - Bit#2 "LINK STATUS")

Are there any other register settings to look at or ways to confirm if the link has been established?

Regards,
Darren
