Data Sheet
STS.6
RBE
STS.7
TBF
Receive buffer empty. RBE is set by the CPU when it is ready to
receive a frame or has just read the buffer. RBE is cleared by the
SIU when a frame has been received. Can be thought of as a Receive
Enable.
Transmit buffer full. TBF is set by the CPU to indicate that the
transmit buffer is ready and TBF is cleared by the SIU.
Send/Receive count register (NSNR):
The NSNR contains both the transmit and receive sequence numbers in addition to the tally error
indications. The CPU can read and write the STS. Accessing the STS by the CPU via 2 cycle
instructions (JBC bit,rel and MOV bit,C) should not be used. The SIU can read and write the
NSNR. The NS and NR counters are not used in non-AUTO mode. NSNR is bit addressable.

SER
Sequence error receive. NS (P) ? NR (S).
NR0
Receive sequence counter, Bit 0.
NR1
Receive sequence counter, Bit 1.
NR2
Receive sequence counter, Bit 2.
SES
Sequence error send. NR (P) ? NS (S) and
NR (P) ? NS (S) + 1.
NS0
Send sequence counter, Bit 0.
NS1
Send sequence counter, Bit 1.
NS2
Send sequence counter, Bit 2.
Station Address register (STAD):
The STAD contains the station address (node address) of the chip. The CPU can read or write
STAD but should access STAD only when RTS = 0 and RBE = 0. Normally STAD is accessed
only during initialization. STAD is byte addressable.
