SCA
IP178C performs SCA on each port and shows the test result on LED pins whenever pin SCA is pulled
high. The LED display is independent of LED_SEL pins. The following table shows the LED behavior of a
port performing SCA.

IP178C provides the bandwidth control mechanism to manage or control the data rate on a limited
bandwidth network. By controlling the ingress data rate and the egress data rate, it provides a bandwidth
management solution for local area networks and also provides quick and easy allocation of uplink or
downlink speeds to meet and guarantee a wide range of customer bandwidth requirements.
IP178C provides the easiest way to allocate bandwidth for each port, which defined in MII registers 31.26
~ 31.29 or EEPROM registers 116 ~ 123. The ingress/egress data rate control range is from 128 kbps to
8 Mbps for each port.
