Auto Negotiation Link Partner Ability (Base Page)
shows the contents of the A/N link partner ability register. The register can only be read by
the MI and is written by the auto-negotiation process when it receives a link code word advertising the
capabilities of the link partner. This register has a dual purpose: exchange of base page information as
shown in
, and exchange of next page information as shown in
.
