H3:
The pointer action bytes contain synchronous payload envelope data when a negative stuff
event occurs. The all zeros pattern is inserted in the transmit direction. This byte is ignored in
the receive direction unless a negative stuff event is detected.

STS-3c Transport Overhead
STM-1 Section Overhead
13.1.5
Transport Overhead Bytes
A1, A2:
The frame alignment bytes (A1, A2) locate the SONET/SDH frame in the STS-
3c/STM-1 serial stream.
J0:
The J0 byte is currently defined as the STS-3c/STM-1 section trace byte for SONET/SDH.
J0 byte is not scrambled by the frame synchronous scrambler.
Z0:
The Z0 bytes are currently defined as the STS-3c/STM-1 section growth bytes for
SONET/SDH. Z0 bytes are not scrambled by the frame synchronous scrambler.
B1:
The section bit interleaved parity byte provides a section error monitoring function. In the
transmit direction, the S/UNI-8x155 calculates the B1 byte over all bits of the previous frame
after scrambling. The calculated code is then placed in the current frame before scrambling. In
the receive direction, the S/UNI-8x155 calculates the B1 code over the current frame and
compares this calculation with the B1 byte received in the following frame. B1 errors are
accumulated in an error event counter.
D1 - D3:
The section data communications channel provides a 192 kbit/s data communications
channel for network element to network element communications. In the transmit direction, the
section DCC byte is inserted from a dedicated 192 kbit/s input, TDCC[7:0], when the channel is
configured for section DCC. In the receive direction, the section DCC is extracted on a
dedicated 192 kbit/s output, RDCC[7:0], when the channel is configured for section DCC.
H1, H2:
The pointer value bytes locate the path overhead column in the SONET/SDH frame. In
the transmit direction, the S/UNI-8x155 inserts a fixed pointer value, with a normal new data
flag indication in the first H1-H2 pair. The concatenation indication is inserted in the remaining
H1-H2 pairs (STS-3c/STM-1). Pointer movements can be induced using the TPOP registers. In
the receive direction, the pointer is interpreted to locate the SPE. The loss of pointer state is
entered when a valid pointer cannot be found. Path AIS is detected when H1, H2 contain an all
ones pattern.
