TTSV02622 STS-24 Backplane Transceiver
Receiver Block
(continued)
Pointer Mover Subblock (Backplane to Line)
(continued)
Rules for Concatenation.
The pointer mover block can correctly process any length of concatenation (multiple of
three) as long as it begins on an STS-3 boundary (i.e., STS-1 number 1, 4, 7, 10, etc.) and is contained within the
smaller of STS-3, 12 or 24 (see Table 4).

Notes:
Y = STS-Mc SPE can start in that STS-1.
NO = STS-Mc SPE cannot start in that STS-1.
— = Y or NO, depending on the particular value of M.

NDF
≤
N bits in H1 byte = (1001 + single bit error).
NRMNBTS (i.e., NDF not set)
≤
N bits in H1 byte = (0110 + single bit error).
CONC pointer
≤
(N bits in H1 byte = 1001 + single bit error) and offset = 11_1111_1111.
AIS pointer
≤
offset and N bits are all 1s (SS bits are ignored).
NORM pointer
≤
(offset 0—782) and (NDF or NRMNBITS).
