Auto-Negotiation

This block selects the auto-negotiation controlled data words to the 64/66B encoder.

This module sends the following data types:

  • Auto-negotiation configuration ordered sets
  • IDLE order set
Note: The 10GBase-KR block does not support the auto-negotiation function for backplane Ethernet, which is specified in Clause 73. It does support auto-negotiation for non-backplane Ethernet (Clause 37).
