4.1.11. MAC Reset
When you trigger a software reset, the MAC function sets the TX_ENA and RX_ENA bits in the command_config register to 0 to disable the transmit and receive paths. However, the transmit and receive paths are only disabled when the current frame transmission and reception complete.
- To trigger a hardware reset, assert the reset signal.
- To trigger a software reset, set the SW_RESET bit in the command_config register to 1. The SW_RESET bit is cleared automatically when the software reset ends.
Intel recommends that you perform a software reset and wait for the software reset sequence to complete before changing the MAC operating speed and mode (full/half duplex). If you want to change the operating speed or mode without changing other configurations, preserve the command_config register before performing the software reset and restore the register after the changing the MAC operating speed or mode.
