The MAC HW has three states as shown above.

The HW always starts up in IDLE and can be moved between the states by software by programming the State Control Register (stateCntrlReg). An y state transition performed by SW has to pass through the IDLE state. This ensures that the MAC HW internal state machines move in sync when transiting to the next state.
