Framing
Framing is required to recover the channelized E1. In transparent operation, the framing is configured as Unframed. In this
case the G.SHDSL framer must be set to Nx64 with N=32. For any framing such as FAS or CAS, the G.SHDSL framer must be
set to E1, then the E1 framing here may be set accordingly.

FAS
Frame Alignment Signal uses a 7-bits pattern to establish and maintain the frame
synchronization. The FAS word is located in timeslot 0 of frame. In FAS mode there are
1~31 timeslot available for use data.
CAS
Also known as time slot 16 multi-framing. It requires a multi-framing alignment signal to
be present for frame sync. The Multi-frame Alignment Signal (MFAS) is inserted into the
16th timeslot of frame 0 of the 16-frame multi-frame.
In CAS mode, there are 30 channels available for user data. If timeslot 16 is included in
the unit’s mapping, it will be disregarded.
CRC4
The CRC-4 checksum bits are transmitted in the outgoing E1 data stream. Also the
received signal is checked for errors.
CRC-4 checksum cannot be sent in unframed mode.
Unframed
In this mode, user data is inserted into all 32 channels (64k x 32 = 2048k) of the E1
stream. The object of running without framing is to utilize the full bandwidth of the E1 line.
