NAME BIT FUNCTION
CSC5 7 CRC4 Sync Counter Bit 5. MSB of the 6-bit counter.
CSC4 6 CRC4 Sync Counter Bit 4
CSC3 5 CRC4 Sync Counter Bit 3
CSC2 4 CRC4 Sync Counter Bit 2
CSC0 3 CRC4 Sync Counter Bit 0. LSB of the 6-bit counter. Counter Bit 1 is not accessible.
FASSA 2 FAS Sync Active. Set while the synchronizer is searching for alignment at the FAS level.
CASSA 1
CAS MF Sync Active. Set while the synchronizer is searching for the CAS MF alignment
word.
CRC4SA 0
CRC4 MF Sync Active. Set while the synchronizer is searching for the CRC4 MF
alignment word.
5.1 CRC4 Sync Counter
The CRC4 sync counter increments each time the 8ms CRC4 multiframe search times out. The counter is
cleared when the framer has successfully obtained synchronization at the CRC4 level. Disabling the
CRC4 mode (CCR1.0 = 0) can also clear the counter. This counter determines the time the framer has
been searching for synchronization at the CRC4 level. ITU G.706 suggests that if synchronization at the
CRC4 level cannot be obtained within 400ms, the search should be abandoned and proper action taken.
The CRC4 sync counter rolls over.
