2.3.2
AUI Port Auto-Partition State Diagram
A partition state machine is implemented for each AUI port. Individual Tw5 and Tw6 timers and collision
counters are implemented for each state machine.
2.3.2.1 State Diagram Notation and Variables.
=
Assign the right side constant or expression result to the left side variable.
&
Logical ”AND” operator.
+
Logical ”OR” operator when used in a state-exiting expression. Arithmetic addition when
used otherwise.
{[term]}
Group term for logical evaluation.
Y
Number identifier for the particular AUI port.
Values: Integers 0 and 1
CC(Y)
Consecutive collision count for AUI port Y
Values: Integers from 0 to 31
DIPresent(Y) Carrier from the MAU on AUI port Y.
Values: Idle-Port carrier is not active.
Active-Port carrier is active.
Datain(Y)
AUI port carrier to the global state machine.
Values: Idle-Port carrier has been gated off by the partition state machine.
DIPresent(Y)-Port carrier is passed on to the global state machine.
CIPresent(Y) Collision indication from the MAU on AUI Port Y.
Values: /SQE-Port collision is not active.
SQE-Port collision is active.
Collin(Y)
AUI port collision to the global state machine.
Values: /SQE-Port collision has been gated off by the partition state machine.
CIPresent(Y)-Port collision is passed on to the global state machine.
/COLN
Inter-LEMRIC that is Port N or Port M collision.
Values: Idle-/COLN is not active.
Active-/COLN is active.
/ANYXN
Inter-LEMRIC that is not Port N or Port M collision.
Values: Idle-/ANYXN is not active.
Active-/ANYXN is active.
Tw5
Enable Tw5 initializes and starts the PORT Tw5 timer. Tw5Done indicates that the timer
has expired.
Tw6
Enable Tw6 initializes and starts the port Tw6 timer. /Tw6Done indicates that the timer is
running. Tw6Done indicates that the timer has expired.
