PRODUCTION DATA
When configured for Magic Packet mode, the DP83867 scans all incoming frames addressed to the node for a specific data sequence. This sequence identifies the frame as a Magic Packet frame.
The Magic Packet should be byte aligned.
A Magic Packet frame must also meet the basic requirements for the LAN technology chosen, such as SOURCE ADDRESS, DESTINATION ADDRESS (which may be the receiving station’s IEEE address). DP83867PHY support Unicast onlyfor Magic Packet Detection.
The specific Magic Packet sequence consists of 16 duplications of the IEEE address of this node, with no breaks or interruptions, followed by secure-on password if security is enabled. This sequence can be located anywhere within the packet, but must be preceded by a synchronization stream. The synchronization stream is defined as 6 bytes of FFh.
