DP83261 - BMAC Device

The DP83261 BMAC device implements the Media Access Control (MAC) protocol for operation in an FDDI token ring The BMAC device provides a flexible interface to the BSI-2TM device The BMAC device offers the capabilities described in the ANSI X3T9 5 MAC Standard and several functional enhancements all

• Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Full duplex operation with through parity Supports all FDDI ring scheduling classes (asynchronous synchronous restricted asynchronous and immediate) Supports individual group short long and external addressing Generates Beacon Claim and Void frames without intervention Provides extensive ring and station statistics Provides extensions for MAC level bridging Provides separate management interface Uses low power microCMOS TL F 10387.
