Tab - 35 REG14 Filtering Data Register Description

Filtering Buffer

The AX88141 stores one Ethernet address for local physical address and filters the packets

with multicast addresses by 64 bits array. For any incoming frame with a multicast destination

address, the AX88141 applies the standard Ethernet cyclic redundancy check function to the

destination address, then uses the most significant 6 bits of the result as a bit index into the table. If

the indexed bit is set, the frame is accepted. If the bit is reset, the frame is rejected.
