`
`8.2.4.3 Automatic Configuration without Auto-Negotiation
`A device can easily detect whether the signals it is receiving were generated
`using 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 100BASE-T4. In the case of 10BASE-T,
`every device emits characteristic "link pulses" every 16 ms when the link is
`idle; this constitutes an unmistakable signature. 11 In the case of 100BASE-TX
`and 100BASE-T4, the signal levels, timing, and encoding used are sufficiently
`different that determination of the link's nature can be made without the use
`of Auto-Negotiation. This is often called "parallel detection."
`Thus it is possible to automatically configure to any of these three signal(cid:173)
`ing methods without implementing the negotiation protocol. Doing this is
`fairly common, and it slightly lowers the cost of a product.
`However, a great deal of flexibility is lost by not using Auto-Negotiation:
`
`• It is not possible to implement automatic dual-speed capability (for ex(cid:173)
`ample, 10Mb/sand 100 Mb/s).
`• It is not possible to determine duplex mode.
`• It is not possible to determine flow control capability.
`
`The defa ult assumption if Auto-Negotiation is not employed is that the
`link is operating in half-duplex mode, without explicit flow control. Thus
`devices not implementing Auto-Negotiation are generally those with only a
`single mode of operation, for example, a 100BASE-TX (only) repeater hub or
`a 10BASE-T (half-duplex-only) controller, where there is nothing to be
`gained by implementing Auto-Negotiation.
`
`11. Also called "link beat," these pulses are used to ensure that the link is physically con(cid:173)
`ne{:ted.lt is the detection of this pulse that usually enables a "Link LED" on a lOBASE-T con·
`rroller or hub port.

`Gigabit Etbemet Physical Layer
`
`requires that there be some minimum number of logic transitions in the
`code stream in order to provide clocking information. In the case of Giga(cid:173)
`bit Ethernet, the block code used guarantees this transition densiry.
`NRZJ-Non-Recurn-to-Zero, Invert on Ones-is a variation of NRZ
`th:n leaves the signal unchanged for a logic zero and inverts the signal from
`irs previous state for a logic one. NRZI is used in FDDI and 1 OOBASE(cid:173)
`FX; the 48/58 block code guarantees a sufficient "ones density."
`• Manchester code. This code, used in all10 Mb/s Ethernet systems, elimi(cid:173)
`nates the need for :tny transitions or one's density in the data srream-at
`the expense of increasing the maximum transmission frequency by a fac-
`tor of 2.
`• Multilevel Thrcshold-3 (MLT-3). This code uses three signal levels. The
`maximum transmission frequency is reduced by half (relative to NRZ),
`at the expense of reduced noise margin. The code leaves the signal un(cid:173)
`changed for a logic zero and moves the signal to the "next state" for a logic
`one, where the states are zero voltage, high voltage, zero voltage, low volt(cid:173)
`age, zero voltage, and so on.
