Enable the Power Saving Mode

The power saving mode enables the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function,
cable length power saving, and link-up and link-down power saving:
• EEE. Combines the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) 802.3 MAC sublayer with the
100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T physical layers to support operation in Low Power Idle
(LPI) mode. When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can disable
portions of their functionality and save power during periods of low link utilization.
• Short Cable Power Saving. Dynamically detects and adjusts power that is required for
the detected cable length.
