Adapter Host Registers

A.2 Adapter Host Registers
Host command registers contain bits which are toggled to tell the channel to
use receive or transmit FIFOs. ThunderLAN’s adapter host registers include
the adapter internal registers (see section A.3, Adapter Internal Registers).
The following subsections describe the functions of each host register accord-
ing to protocol.

Go
Channel go: This command bit only affects the network channels.
if R / T = 0 (Tx GO):
Writing a 1 to this bit starts frame transmission on a stopped or inactive channel.
Ch_Parm contains the address of the first transmit list.
if R / T = 1 (Rx GO):
Writing a 1 to this bit starts frame reception on a stopped1 or inactive channel. Ch_Parm
contains the address of the first receive list.
Writing a 0 to this bit has no effect. This bit is always read as a 0.
1)
Frame transmission and reception are always placed in the stopped (reset) state after reset. therefore, no
frames are received into the Rx FIFO and no statistics are logged until the receiver has been started with
a GO command.
