17.6 ALTINT Alternate Interrupt Mode.
0 = Primary interrupt system enabled (Default).
1 = Alternate interrupt system enabled.
See Section 5.2, "Interrupt Management," on page 47.
RW 0
17.5:4 Reserved Write as 0, ignore on read. RW 00
17.3 PHYADBP 1 = PHY disregards PHY address in SMI access 
write.
RW 0
17.2 Force
Good Link Status
0 = normal operation;
1 = force 100TX- link active;
Note: This bit should be set only during lab testing
RW 0
17.1 ENERGYON ENERGYON – indicates whether energy is detected 
on the line (see Section 5.3.5.2, "Energy Detect 
Power-Down," on page 50); it goes to “0” if no valid 
energy is detected within 256ms. Reset to “1” by 
hardware reset, unaffected by SW reset.
RO X
17.0 Reserved Write as 0. Ignore on read. RW 0

18.14 MIIMODE MII Mode: set the mode of the digital interface, as 
described in Section 5.3.9.3:
0 – MII interface.

18.4:0 PHYAD PHY Address.
The PHY Address is used for the SMI address and for 
the initialization of the Cipher (Scrambler) key. Refer 
to Section 5.3.9.1, "Physical Address Bus - 
PHYAD[2:0]," on page 52 for more details.

Table 5.31 Register 26 - Symbol Error Counter
ADDRESS NAME DESCRIPTION MODE DEFAULT
26.15:0 Sym_Err_Cnt 100Base-TX receiver-based error register that 
increments when an invalid code symbol is received 
including IDLE symbols. The counter is incremented 
only once per packet, even when the received packet 
contains more than one symbol error. The 16-bit 
register counts up to 65,536 (2
16
) and rolls over to 0 
if incremented beyond that value. This register is 
cleared on reset, but is not cleared by reading the 
register. It does not increment in 10Base-T mode.
