9.9.6.1 Additional E1 Receive Sa- and Si-Bit Receive Operation (E1 Mode)
The DS26518, when operated in the E1 mode, provides for access to both the Sa and the Si bits via two methods.
The first involves using the internal
E1RAF/E1RNAF and E1TAF/E1TNAF registers. The second method involves
an expanded version of the first method.
9.9.6.1.1 Internal Register Scheme Based on Double-Frame (Method 1)
On the receive side, the E1RAF and E1RNAF registers will always report the data as it received in the Sa and Si bit
locations. The
E1RAFand E1RNAF registers are updated on align frame boundaries. The setting of the Receive
Align Frame bit in Receive Latched Status Register 2 (
RLS2.0) will indicate that the contents of the RAF and RNAF
have been updated. The host can use the
RLS2.0 bit to know when to read the E1RAF and E1RNAF registers. The
host has 250μs to retrieve the data before it is lost.
9.9.6.1.2 Internal Register Scheme Based on CRC-4 Multiframe (Receive)
On the receive side, there is a set of eight registers (E1RsiAF, E1RSiNAF, E1RRA, E1RSa4 to E1RSa8) that report
the Si and Sa bits as they are received. These registers are updated with the setting of the receive CRC-4
multiframe bit in Receive Latched Status Register 2 (
RLS2.1). The host can use the RLS2.1 bit to know when to
read these registers. The user has 2ms to retrieve the data before it is lost. See the register descriptions for
additional information.
9.9.6.1.3 Internal Register Scheme Based on CRC-4 Multiframe (Transmit)
On the transmit side there is a set of eight registers (E1TSiAF, E1TSiNAF, E1TRA, E1TSa4 to E1TSa8) that, via
the E1 Transmit Sa-Bit Control Register (
E1TSACR), can be programmed to insert both Si and Sa data. Data is
sampled from these registers with the setting of the transmit multiframe bit in Transmit Latched Status Register 1
(
TLS1.3). The host can use the TLS1.3 bit to know when to update these registers. It has 2ms to update the data or
else the old data will be retransmitted. See the register descriptions in Section
10 for more information.
9.9.6.2 Sa-Bit Monitoring and Reporting
In addition to the registers outlined above, the DS26518 provides status and interrupt capability in order to detect
changes in the state of selected Sa bits. The
E1RSAIMR register can be used to select which Sa bits are
monitored for a change of state. When a change of state is detected in one of the enabled Sa bit positions, a status
bit is set in the
9RLS7 register via the SaXCD bit (bit 0). This status bit can in turn be used to generate an interrupt
by unmasking
RIM7.0 (SaXCD). If multiple Sa bits have been enabled, the user can read the SaBITS register at
address 06Eh to determine the current value of each Sa bit.
For the Sa6 bits, additional support is available to detect specific codewords per ETS 300 233. The Sa6CODE
register will report the received Sa6 codeword. The codeword must be stable for a period of three submultiframes
and be different from the previous stored value in order to be updated in this register. See the
9Sa6CODE register
description for further details on the operation of this register and the values reported in it. An additional status bit is
provided in
39RLS7.1 (Sa6CD) to indicate if the received Sa6 codeword has changed. A mask bit is provided for this
status bit in
9RIM7 to allow for interrupt generation when enabled.
9.9.7 Maintenance and Alarms
The DS26518 provides extensive functions for alarm detection and generation. It also provides diagnostic functions
for monitoring of performance and sending of diagnostic information:
• Real-time and latched status bits, interrupts and interrupt mask for transmitter and receiver
• LOS detection
• RIA detection and generation
• Error counters
• DS0 monitoring
• Milliwatt generation and detection
• Slip buffer status for transmit and receive
