Significance of physical identifier

Hello, I have a doubt regarding physical identifier of an Ethernet physical IC. What is the importance of their physical identifier. when I compared DP83848C and DP83640 and found not much difference in their registers. While programming, only when these identifiers are valid its starts its actual working. What might be the importance of this identifier?

  • That's Ok. But I am asking for a helpful link because I am beginner to HTTP server. In the example code given by KEILMDK5 is using DP83848C. But I am using DP83640. I found physical identifier is different. I made changes accordingly and mapped registers as per the datasheet. Still I am unable to get the Web page on my system after required system LAN configuration is done. Hardware connections are checked with the datasheet. I am doing this as part of my PG course in Embedded System. May be your suggestions will be able to enlighten me.
