CAS Handler
10.6.5.1
CAS Handler, TDM-to-Ethernet Direction
In the TDM-to-Ethernet direction, the CAS handler receives the CAS bits (for structured-with-CAS AAL1/CESoPSN
bundles) on the TDMn_RSIG_RTS signal. Depending on the value of the per-bundle Tx_CAS_source
configuration bit in the Bundle Configuration Tables, the CAS handler inserts either the CAS bits from the
corresponding TDMn_RSIG_RTS signal or the values from the transmit SW CAS tables (section 11.4.9) into the
AAL1/CESoPSN packets, in order to deliver the signaling as part of the AAL1/CESoPSN payload packets. See
Figure 10-26.
The transmit SW CAS tables may contain conditioning bits set by CPU software during configuration (per timeslot).
If CAS bits received on the TDMn_RSIG_RTS signal change, a per-timeslot maskable interrupt is asserted. The
Tx_CAS_change registers in the Interrupt Controller indicate which timeslots have changed CAS bits. The
Tx_CAS_change_mask registers are available to selectively mask these interrupts. Upon notification that CAS bits
have changed, the CPU can read the CAS bits directly from the receive signaling registers of the neighboring
E1/T1 framer component, alter them if needed, and write them into the TDMoP block’s transmit SW CAS tables.

There is a transmit SW CAS table for each TDM port. Each table consists of 4 rows, and each row contains the
CAS bits of eight timeslots. For ports configured for E1, timeslots 1–15 and 17–31 are used and timeslots 0 and 16
are meaningless. For ports configured for T1, timeslots 0–23 are used and timeslots 24–31 are meaningless. Ports
configured for T1 SF have two copies of A and B CAS bits arranged A, B, A, B. Other port types have one copy of
bits A, B, C and D. These cases are illustrated in Figure 10-27 and Figure 10-28.
