Multiframe Yellow Alarm
Generation
2.0 Circuit Description
2.4 Transmitter
In E1 CAS framing modes, Multiframe Yellow Alarm is inserted into the transmit
stream to alert far-end equipment that local received multiframe alignment is not
recovered. E1 Multiframe Yellow Alarm is transmitted by setting the Y bit in time
slot 16, frame 0.
Transmission of Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by these register bits:
Bit Name
INS_MYEL
TMYEL
AUTO_MYEL
SRED
Register
[TFRM; addr 072]
[TALM; addr 075]
[TALM; addr 075]
[ALM3; addr 049]
Insertion of E1 Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by INS_MYEL and
inserted only when INS_MYEL is set. Multiframe Yellow Alarm generation can
be initiated manually or automatically.
Manual insertion of Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by TMYEL.
Setting this bit will unconditionally overwrite the Multiframe Yellow Alarm
signal bit in the transmitted data stream.
Automatic insertion of Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by
AUTO_MYEL in the TALM register. When set, the AUTO_MYEL mode will
send yellow alarm for the duration of a receive loss of CAS multiframe alignment

2.4.4.3 CRC Generation
The CRC generation circuitry computes the value of the CRC6 code in T1 mode
or the CRC4 code in E1 mode. Once computed, it is inserted into the appropriate
position of the transmitted data stream. CRC overwrite is enabled by INS_CRC
[TFRM; addr 072]. In T1 mode, CRC6 may be computed on only the payload
data or on all data including the F-bit. Setting TINCF [TCR0; addr 070] selects
CRC6 computation on all data.
If the transmit frame format is configured as ESF and INS_CRC is active, the
2 kbps CRC sequence is inserted. The position of the CRC-6 bits is shown in
If the transmit frame format is configured as E1, and INS_CRC is active, the
4 kbps CRC sequence is inserted. The position of the CRC-4 bits is shown in
The register bits that control FEBE are INS_FE [TFRM; addr 072], TFEBE
[TMAN; addr 074], FEBE_I [TMAN; addr 074], and FEBE_II [TMAN; addr
074]. The Far-End Block Error (FEBE) generation circuitry inserts FEBE bits
automatically or manually. Automatic FEBE generation is enabled by INS_FE. If
the transmit frame format is configured as E1 and INS_FE bit is set, a FEBE is
generated in response to an incoming CRC-4 error by setting an E-bit of TS0 to
zero. Refer to
for the location of the E-bits within the E1 frame.
Manual FEBE generation is enabled by TFEBE. If the transmit frame format
is configured as E1 and TFEBE is set, the FEBE bits are supplied by the
processor in FEBE_I and FEBE_II.
