Chapter 6 Frame Format in Buffer Memory for
Revision 1.0 (10-24-08)
The frame format in memory is similar to that in the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE areas. The first word is
reserved for the status word, the next word is used to specify the total number of bytes, and that in turn is
followed by the data area. The data area holds the packet itself, and its length is determined by the byte
count. The frame memory format is word oriented.
BYTE COUNT - Divided by two, it defines the total number of words, including the STATUS WORD, the
BYTE COUNT WORD, the DATA AREA and the CONTROL BYTE. The receive byte count always
appears as even, the ODDFRM bit of the receive status word indicates if the low byte of the last word is
