3.3.3 Serial Management Preamble Suppression
The DP83848T supports a Preamble Suppression mode
as indicated by a one in bit 6 of the Basic Mode Status
Register (BMSR, address 01h.) If the station management
entity (i.e. MAC or other management controller) deter-
mines that all PHYs in the system support Preamble Sup-
pression by returning a one in this bit, then the station
management entity need not generate preamble for each
management transaction.
The DP83848T requires a single initialization sequence of
32 bits of preamble following hardware/software reset.

This requirement is generally met by the mandatory pull-
up resistor on MDIO in conjunction with a continuous
MDC, or the management access made to determine
whether Preamble Suppression is supported.
While the DP83848T requires an initial preamble
sequence of 32 bits for management initialization, it does
not require a full 32-bit sequence between each subse-
quent transaction. A minimum of one idle bit between
management transactions is required as specified in the
IEEE 802.3u specification.
