Re: [802.3_RTPGE] proposed text for 97.6 Link Synchronization

[Brett McClellan <bmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
Based on feedback, I changed the following text in the proposal. It is highlighted in yellow in the attached PDF.
Please let me know if there are any questions or issues.

Changed:
" The PN sequence generator shall be reset upon entering into TRANSMIT DISABLE state, or whenever sync_tx_mode value changes to SEND_S from SEND_Z. If the PN sequence generator reset is executed, all bits of the 8-bit shift register may be set to arbitrary values except for all zeros."
To:
"The PN sequence generator shift registers shall be reset to a non-zero value upon entering into TRANSMIT DISABLE state. The receiver should not assume a continuous PN sequence is provided between separate periods of SEND_S."

Subject: [802.3_RTPGE] proposed text for 97.6 Link Synchronization

Attached is proposed text for section 97.6 Link Synchronization.
I believe this addresses the comments from myself and Mike Tu and provides a clean break between Link Synchronization and the PMA/PCS.

Please review and provide feedback.

Regards,
Brett
