0=Off (default)
1=On
adv_pause_cap
This parameter has two meanings, each depending on the
value of
adv_asmpause_cap
. (Default=0)
• If
adv_asmpause_cap
= 1 while a
dv_pause_cap
= 1,
pauses are received.
• If
adv_asmpause_cap
= 1 while a
dv_pause_cap
= 0,
pauses are transmitted.
• If
adv_asmpause_cap
= 0 while a
dv_pause_cap
= 1,
pauses are sent and received.
• If
adv_asmpause_cap
= 0, then a
dv_pause_cap
determines whether Pause capability is on or off.
