Auto-Negotiation

12
1b = Enable Auto-Negotiation Process.
0b = Disable Auto-Negotiation Process.
A write to this bit does not take effect
until a software reset is asserted,
Restart Auto-Negotiation is asserted, or
Power Down transitions from power
down to normal operation.
When the port is switched from power
down to normal operation, software
reset and restart Auto-Negotiation are
performed even if bits Reset and Restart
Auto-Negotiation are not set by the
programmer.
If bit 12 is set to 0b and speed is
manually forced to 1000 Mbps in bits 13
and 6, then Auto-Negotiation is still
enabled and only 1000BASE-T full
duplex is advertised if bit 8 is set to 1b.
1000BASE-T half duplex is advertised if
bit 8 is cleared (0b). Duplex settings in
other registers are ignored. Auto-
Negotiation is required by IEEE for
proper operation in 1000BASE-T.
82544GC/EI only:
Auto-Negotiation enable takes on the
value set by external pins ANEG[3:0] on
hardware reset only.
Bit 12: ANEG[3:2] = 11b.
If MODE[3:0] equals 001xb or 0111b,
where x equals either 0b or 1b, then the
ANE bit determines whether
1000BASE-X Auto-Negotiation is on or
off. Otherwise ANE determines whether
10/100/1000BASE-T Auto-Negotiation
is on or off.
