Pause capability is on or off 40 Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Adapter Installation and User s Guide August 2004 Gigabit Link Clock Mastership Controls The concept of link clock mastership was introduced with gigabit twisted pair technology One side of the link is the master that provides the link clock and the other side is the slave that uses the link clock Once this relationship is established the link is up and data can be communicated Two physical layer parameters control whether your side is the master or the slave or whether mastership is negotiated with the link partner TABLE 4 4 Forced Mode Parameters Parameter Description master cfg enable Determines whether or not during the autonegotiation process the link clock mastership is setup automatically master cfg value If the master cfg enable parameter is set then the mastership is not set up automatically but depends on the value of master cfg value If the master cfg value is set then the physical layer expects the local device to be the link master If the master cfg value is not set then the parameter expects the link partner to be the master e If autonegotiation is not enabled then the value of master cfg enable is ignored and the value of master cfg value is key to the link clock mastership If the master cfg value is set then the physical layer expects the local device to be the link master If the master cfg value is not set then the parameter
