By default, the Ethernet library implementation initializes the PHY SMSC 8720A chip (present on the mikroElektronika's MultiMedia Board for PIC32MX7).
If the user wants initialization for some other PHY module, this routine can be used to pass a pointer to the custom PHY initialization routine.

Parameters:

• TEthernet_PHYInit_Ptr: pointer to the custom PHY initialization routine.

Ethernet_SetPHYInit(@Phy_Init);

Nothing.

initializes the PHY SMSC 8720A chip (present on the mikroElektronika's MultiMedia Board for PIC32MX7) to the library default.

Parameters:

• None.

Ethernet_Set_Default_PHY();

Nothing.

This is MAC module routine. This routine enables appropriate network traffic on the MCU's internal Ethernet module by the means of it's receive filters (unicast, multicast, broadcast, crc). Specific type of network traffic will be enabled if a corresponding bit of this routine's input parameter is set. Therefore, more than one type of network traffic can be enabled at the same time. For this purpose, predefined library constants (see the table below) can be ORed to form appropriate input value.

Parameters:

• enFlt: network traffic/receive filter flags. Each bit corresponds to the appropriate network traffic/receive filter:

Bit	Mask	Description	Predefined library const
0	0x01	MAC Broadcast traffic/receive filter flag. When set, MAC broadcast traffic will be enabled.	_Ethernet_BROADCAST
1	0x02	MAC Multicast traffic/receive filter flag. When set, MAC multicast traffic will be enabled.	_Ethernet_MULTICAST
2	0x04	not used	none
3	0x08	MAC Unicast traffic/receive filter flag. When set, MAC unicast traffic will be enabled.	_Ethernet_UNICAST
4	0x10	not used	none
5	0x20	not used	none
6	0x40	CRC check flag. When set, packets with invalid CRC field will be discarded.	_Ethernet_CRC
7	0x80	not used	none

  Note :
• Advanced filtering available in the MCU's internal Ethernet module such as Pattern Match, Magic Packet and Hash Table can not be enabled by this routine.
  Additionaly, all filters, except CRC, enabled with this routine will work in OR mode, which means that packet will be received if any of the enabled filters accepts it.
• This routine will change receive filter configuration on-the-fly. It will not, in any way, mess with enabling/disabling receive/transmit logic or any other part of the MCU's internal Ethernet module.
  The MCU's internal Ethernet module should be properly cofigured by the means of Ethernet_Init routine.

Ethernet module has to be initialized. See Ethernet_Init.
