Chapter 6: Physical Interface<br />

For more information on the synchronization process, refer to IEEE 802.3 (Figure 36-9). For<br />

the PCS Receive Engine, refer to IEEE 802.3 (Figures 36-7a and 36-7b).<br />

Auto-Negotiation<br />

The 1000BASE-X Auto-Negotiation function allows a device to advertise the supported<br />

modes of operation to a device at the remote end of the optical fibre (the link partner) and<br />

to detect corresponding operational modes that the link partner can be advertising. Autonegotiation<br />

is controlled and monitored using a software function through the PCS<br />

Management Registers. See “1000BASE-X Auto-Negotiation,” page 174.<br />

PCS Management Registers<br />

Configuration and status of the PCS/PMA sublayer, including access to and from the<br />

Auto-Negotiation function, is via the PCS Management Registers. These registers are<br />

accessed through the serial Management Data Input/Output Interface (MDIO), as shown<br />

in Chapter 5, “MDIO Interface.”<br />

For the 1000BASE-X standard, the configuration and status registers available are listed in<br />

“1000BASE-X PCS/PMA Management Registers,” page 122.<br />
