4.3 Alternate MDIO Routing Configuration
The MDIO and MDC signals may be routed either through the 40-pin connector for MII Port 0 (the
standard configuration) or through an RJ-11 connector (J2), as shown in Table 6. In either
configuration, the MII registers can be accessed for each port by setting the correct PHY address.
Refer to the LXT9785/9785E Data Sheet for specific register definitions and functions. The
standard configuration is to route MDIO through the Port 0 MII connector to the SmartBits Test
Box by setting the pins for JP1 and JP2 to 2 & 3.
Note: MDIO sectionalization is not supported on this demo board.
Table 5. PHY Address Configuration Settings (Switch S1)
Jumper / Label Description
S1-1 / ADD_0 Address <4:0> - Sets base address. Each port adds its port number (starting with 0)
to this address to determine its PHY address.
Switch “0” sets address bit to 0.
Switch “1” sets address bit to 10.
Note: To make all ports accessible within the 0 - 31 PHY address range, DO NOT
select a base address higher than 24.
Port 0 = Base + 0
Port 1 = Base + 1
Port 2 = Base + 2
Port 3 = Base + 3
Port 4 = Base + 4
Port 5 = Base + 5
Port 6 = Base + 6
Port 7 = Base + 7
