10 0 Internal Registers
10 3 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS (Continued)
INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER (ISR)
This register is accessed by the host processor to determine the cause of an interrupt Any interrupt can be masked in the
Interrupt Mask Register (IMR) Individual interrupt bits are cleared by writing a ‘‘1’’ into the corresponding bit of the ISR The INT
signal is active as long as any unmasked signal is set and will not go low until all unmasked bits in this register have been
cleared The ISR must be cleared after power up by writing it with all 1’s

Symbol
Packet Received Indicates packet received with no errors
Packet Transmitted Indicates packet transmitted with no errors
Receive Error Indicates that a packet was received with one or more of the following errors
Transmit Error Set when packet transmitted with one or more of the following errors
Overwrite Warning Set when receive buffer ring storage resources have been exhausted
(Local DMA has reached Boundary Pointer)
Counter Overflow Set when MSB of one or more of the Network Tally Counters has been set
Remote DMA Complete Set when Remote DMA operation has been completed
Reset Status Set when ST-NIC enters reset state and cleared when a Start Command is issued
to the CR This bit is also set when a Receive Buffer Ring overflow occurs and is cleared when
one or more packets have been removed from the ring Writing to this bit has no effect
Note This bit does not generate an interrupt it is merely a status indicator
