Bits 0 to 9/Block ID (BLKID0 to BLKID9)

00000000000 (000h) = block number 0

01111111111 (1FFh) = block number 511

1111111111 (3FFh) = block number 1023

Bit 14/Indirect Access Read/Write (IARW). When the host wishes to read data from the internal transmit block

pointer RAM, this bit should be written to 1 by the host. This causes the device to begin obtaining the data from

the block location indicated by the BLKID bits. During the read access, the IAB bit is set to 1. Once the data is

ready to be read from the TFBP register, the IAB bit is set to 0. When the host wishes to write data to the internal

transmit block pointer RAM, this bit should be written to 0 by the host. This causes the device to take the data that

is currently present in the TFBP register and write it to the channel location indicated by the BLKID bits. When

the device has completed the write, the IAB is set to 0.

Bit 15/Indirect Access Busy (IAB). When an indirect read or write access is in progress, this read-only bit is set

to 1. During a read operation, this bit is set to 1 until the data is ready to be read. It is set to 0 when the data is

ready to be read. During a write operation, this bit is set to 1 while the write is taking place. It is set to 0 once the

write operation has completed.

Bits 0 to 9/Block Pointer (TBP0 to TBP9). These bits indicate which of the 1024 blocks is the next block in the

link list chain. A block is not allowed to point to itself.

0000000000 (000h) = block 0 is the next linked block

0111111111 (1FFh) = block 511 is the next linked block

1111111111 (3FFh) = block 1023 is the next linked block

Bits 0 to 7/HDLC Channel ID (HCID0 to HCID7)

00000000 (00h) = HDLC channel number 1

11111111 (FFh) = HDLC channel number 256
