Hello,
In a system, different company end equipment are connected by Ethernet cable.
One side is DP83848K with 100M full-duplex fixed. On the other side is a PHY with Auto-negotiation mode.
Does the operation become below if 100M half-duplex was selected in result of auto-negotiation?
1) Link is established between 100M full duplex(DP83848K) and 100M half duplex(a PHY).
2) Communication is doing some duration.
3) Link is broken in some reason
We want to know the possibility of link broken when full-duplex PHY and half-duplex PHY are connected.
The customer faces link broken issue as above. The root cause is investigating.
If the root cause is due to different duplex connection, auto negotiation of DP83848K may be a solution.
To consider the possibility, we want to know if link is to progress like above 1) to 3).
Best regards,
Toshihiro Watanabe
