DESCRIPTION
RI
This bit, if high, indicates that the receiver is not enabled because either
an "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command was never issued, or a
packet has been deposited into the RAM buffer page fnn as specified by
the last "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command. No messages will be
received until this command is issued, and once the message has been
received, the RI bit is set, thereby inhibiting the receiver. The RI bit is
cleared by issuing an "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command. This bit,
when set, will cause an interrupt if the corresponding bit of the
Interrupt Mask Register (IMR) is also set. When this bit is set and
another station attempts to send a packet to this station, this station
will respond with a NAK.
These bits are undefined.
POR
This bit, if high, indicates that the COM20020-5 has been reset by
either a software reset, a hardware reset, or writing 00H to the Node ID
Register. The POR bit is cleared by the "Clear Flags" command.
TEST
This bit is intended for test and diagnostic purposes. It is a logic "0"
under normal operating conditions.
RECON
This bit, if high, indicates that the Line Idle Timer has timed out because
the RXIN pin was idle for 41 S. The RECON bit is cleared during a
"Clear Flags" command. This bit, when set, will cause an interrupt if the
corresponding bit in the IMR is also set. The interrupt service routine
should consist of examining the MYRECON bit of the Diagnostic Status
Register to determine whether there are consecutive reconfigurations
caused by this node.
TMA
This bit, if high, indicates that the packet transmitted as a result of an
"Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command has been acknowledged.
This bit should only be considered valid after the TA bit (bit 0) is set.
Broadcast messages are never acknowledged. The TMA bit is cleared
by issuing the "Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command.
TA
This bit, if high, indicates that the transmitter is available for
transmitting. This bit is set after the last byte of scheduled packet has
been transmitted out or upon execution of a "Disable Transmitter"
command. The TA bit is cleared by issuing the "Enable Transmit from
Page fnn" command after the node next receives the token. This bit,
when set, will cause an interrupt if the corresponding bit in the IMR is
also set.
