Isolate
(PHYAD = 00000), ISOLATE:
RW
1 = Isolates the DP83840A from the MII with the exception of the serial
management. When this bit is asserted, the DP83840A does not
respond to TXD[3:0], TX_EN, and TX_ER inputs, and it presents a
high impedance on its TX_CLK, RX_CLK, RX_DV, RX_ER,
RXD[3:0], COL and CRS outputs. The CLK_25M output stays active
(if enabled) and the DP83840A still responds to serial management
transactions. During Isolate mode TX_EN has no effect, TD+/- will
transmit Idles, TXU+/- and TXS+/- will tri-state, transitions on the

If the PHY Address is set to 00000 the Isolate bit will be set upon power-
up/reset. Refer to section 3.2.4 for further detail.
RESTART AUTO-NEGOTIATION:
1 = Restart Auto-Negotiation. Re-initiates the Auto-Negotiation process.
If Auto-Negotiation is disabled (bit 12 of this register cleared), this bit
has no function. This bit is self-clearing and will return a value of 1
until Auto-Negotiation is initiated by the DP83840A, whereupon it will
self-clear. Operation of the Auto-Negotiation process is not affected
by the management entity clearing this bit.
0 = Normal Operation
Refer to section 3.9.4 for further detail.
DUPLEX MODE:
1 = Full Duplex operation. Duplex selection is allowed when Auto-
Negotiation is disabled (bit 12 of this register is cleared). When Auto-
Negotiation is enabled, the duplex capability as specified in bits
[15:11] of the BMSR register (address 1h) reflect the current status.
This bit does not reflect duplex status.
0 = Half Duplex Operation
COLLISION TEST:
1 = Collision Test enabled. When set, this bit will cause the COL signal
to be asserted in response to the assertion of TX_EN.
0 = Normal Operation
RESERVED: Write as 0, read as don't care.
