DESCRIPTION
When low, this bit disables transmissions by keeping
nPULSE1, nPULSE2 if in non-Backplane Mode, and nTXEN
pin inactive. When high, it enables the above signals to be
activated during transmissions. This bit defaults low upon
reset. This bit is typically enabled once the Node ID is
determined, and never disabled during normal operation.
Please refer to the Improved Diagnostics section for details on
evaluating network activity.
These bits allow the network to operate over longer distances
than the default maximum 2 miles by controlling the
Response, Idle, and Reconfiguration Times. All nodes
should be configured with the same timeout values for proper
network operation. For the COM20020I 3V with a 20 MHz
crystal oscillator, the bit combinations follow:

Note: These values are for 5Mbps and RCNTMR[1,0]=00.
Reconfiguration time is changed by the RCNTMR1 and
RCNTMR0 bits.
A logic "1" on this bit puts the device into Backplane Mode
signaling which is used for Open Drain and Differential Driver
interfaces.
These bits determine which register at address 07 may be
accessed. The combinations are as follows:
SUBAD1

SUBAD0 Register
0 Tentative ID
1 Node ID
0 Setup 1
1 Next ID
