Datasheet
The data transfer process can be inhibited by
operating in monitor mode. This mode checks
validiity of incoming frames and maintains error
statistics, but does not store the frame in
memory. Frames which would otherwise have
been accepted cause the Missed Packet counter
to increment upon completion of the frame.
If the receive local memory becomes full during
reception of a frame, the frame is aborted. The
host is notified of the condition with an overflow
interrupt.
counter is incremented for each frame which
could not be received due to the overflow
condition.
Error Checking
Received frames are checked for CRC and
alignment errors.

the status register and the CRC error counter is
incremented. Reception of the frame is aborted
unless the receiver has been programmed to
receive errored packets. If the frame does not
terminate on a byte boundary and the CRC is
incorrect, then an alignment error is also
indicated in the status register.

The receive control register can be programmed
to enable long frame checking (frames longer

Event Counters
Three event counters record CRC errors,
alignment errors, and missed packets.
counters are all 8-bits wide and count from zero
to 255. At 255 the counters stop until they have
been read by the host. The counters are self
clearing after the read. The counters generate a
shared interrupt when any one of them reaches
a count of 192.
The counter is also incremented for receive local
memory full errors. The missed packet counter
is 8 bits wide and generates an interrupt when
