The 32-bit transmitted data field is to be used for out-
of-band communication between PHY management
entities. No protocol for out-of-band management has
been defined. Accessing the low word causes the PHY
to send all-0 PCOMs until the high word has been ac-
cessed. Once accessed, the next transmitted packet
will cause this register’s contents to be shifted out in
the PCOM field of the transmitted packet. Upon trans-
mission, this register will read back as all 0s. A non-null
transmitted PCOM will set the TxPCOM Ready bit in
the Event Status Register (Register HPR26). An ac-
cess to any of the two TxPCOM words will clear the Tx-
PCOM Ready bit in the ISTAT register.
