Receiver Enable: When set to 1, and the receive state machine is idle,
the receive machine becomes active. This bit will read back as a 1
whenever the receive state machine is active. After initial power-up,
software must insure that the receiver has completely reset before setting
this bit.

Transmitter Enable: When set to 1, and the transmit state machine is

before setting this bit.

5.6 Interrupt Status Register
(Offset 003Eh-003Fh, R/W)
This register indicates the source of an interrupt when the INTA pin goes active. Enabling the corresponding bits in the Interrupt
Mask Register (IMR) allows bits in this register to produce an interrupt. When an interrupt is active, one of more bits in this
register are set to a “1”. The interrupt Status Register reflects all current pending interrupts, regardless of the state of the
corresponding mask bit in the IMR. Reading the ISR clears all interrupts. Writing to the ISR has no effect.
