tional network security options additional statistics for repeater activities and a faster processor interface When DP83952 RIC II is used in a ''non-secure'' mode it functions in the same manner as the DP83950 RIC When RIC II is used in a''secure'' mode it restricts unauthorized nodes from intrud-ing andor eavesdropping into the network The DP83952 RIC II utilizes internal CAMs to storecompare addresses of valid nodes when network
security is desired
DP83952 RIC II implements the IEEE 8023 multiport repeater unit specifications It is fully compliant with the 8023 repeater specification for the repeater segment partition and jabber lockup protection state machines
The DP83952 RIC II repeater design consists of two major functional blocks Segment Specific Block and Shared Functional Blocks The Segment Specific Block implements the IEEE repeater requirements on a per network port basiswhilethe Shared Functional Blocks implement the core logic blocks for the IEEE repeater unit The Shared Functional Blocks consist of repeater receive multiplexor an on chip phase lock loop (PLL) decoder for Manchester data an Elasticity Buffer for preamble regeneration transmit encoder and de-multiplexor for Manchester data
The DP83952 RIC II can be connected up to 13 cable seg- ments via its network interface ports One port is fully AUI compatible and is able to connect to an external MAU using the maximum length of AUI cable The other 12 ports have integrated 10BASE-T transceivers These transceiver functions may be bypassed so that the RIC II may be used with external transceivers such as the DP8392 coaxial trans- ceivers
A large repeater unit can be constructed by cascading DP83952 RIC IIs together via the Inter-RIC
TM bus All the cascaded RIC IIs form a single repeater unit
The DP83952 RIC II is configurable for specific applications It pro- vides port status information for LED array displays and a simple interface for system processors The DP83952 RIC II possess-es multi-function counters and status flag arrays to facilitatenetwork statistics gathering A serial Hub Management In-
terface is available for the collection of data in Managed Hub applications
