ICS1893AG Data Sheet - Preliminary
Chapter 8 Management Register Set
8.6.6 Selector Field (Bits 4.4:0)
When its Auto-Negotiation Sublayer is enabled, the ICS1893AG transmits its link capabilities to its remote
Link Partner during the auto-negotiation process. The Selector Field is transmitted based on the value of
bits 4.4:0. These bits indicate to the remote link partner the type of message being sent during the
auto-negotiation process. The ICS1893AG supports IEEE Std. 802.3, represented by a value of 00001b in
bits 4.4:0. The ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard defines the Selector Field technologies in Annex 28A.
