Hello,
My customer have some questions about Link Status bits in BMSR and PHYSTS in DP83867IR.
[Background]
They use DP83867IR in their system.
Their link was established with 1000BASE-T.
In this case, it will be in the following state.
* LED port (1000BT link established) = 1
* AUTO-NEGOTIATION COMPLETE in BMSR = 1
* LINK STATUS in BMSR = 0
* LINK_STATUS in PHYSIS = 0 -> 1 (It takes many time to change,)
They confirmed that when link was established with 100BASE-TX, LINK STATUS in BMSR became 1.
[Q1]
Is this behavior appropriate ?
[Q2]
Why does LINK STATUS in BMSR not become 1 in the case of 1000BASE-T ?
[Q3]
Why does it take many time for LINK_STATUS in PHYSIS to become 1 in the case of 1000BASE-T ?
Can LINK_STATUS in PHYSIS change at the same time as link established ?
Best Regards,
Hiroshi Katsunaga
