Chapter 4 BNI (Trunk) Cards
Broadband Network Interface Cards (BNI-T3 and BNI-E3)
• Extracts receive timing from the input framing and makes it available for node timing. Line can
operateinloopedtimingmode.
• Recovers clock and data from the bipolar B3ZS (T3) or HDB3 (E3) line signal and converts data
to unipolar.

Some of the functions performed by the PLPP in the BNI-3T3 include:
• PLPP— Receiver Side
– Provides frame sync for either the M23 or C-bit parity frame format.
– Provides alarm detection and accumulates B3ZS code violations, framing errors, parity errors,
C-bitparityerrors,andfarendbiterror(FEBE)events.
– Detects far end alarm channel codes, yellow alarm, and loss of frame.
– Provides optional cell descrambling, header check sequence (HCS) error detection, and cell
filtering.
– Small receive FIFO buffer for incoming cells.
• PLPP—Transmitter Side
– Inserts proper frame bit sequence into outgoing bit stream.
– Inserts proper alarm codes to be transmitted to the far end.
– Provides optional ATM cell scrambling, HCS generation and insertion, and programmable null
cell generation.
– Small transmit FIFO for outgoing cells.
