I think i have my PHY file almost completed, but I have one last problem that I can't solve. How do I determine the Physical address of my PHY? I looked on my data sheet but all i can find is data on the 5 pins that control it saying that it supports 32 address (2^5). Is there set default for all these devices, or is this an arbitrary number since I only have 1 PHY device and 1 MAC device?

//edit: I found on an ST data sheet (I'm using a TDK) that the register values are obtained on power on/reset by latching the address pins. Is this standard for all PHYs?

Thanks,

Jon
