Operational Description

In “Inactive” mode, no cells are accepted from the “UTOPIA Transmit interface”, and
byte-pattern 0 is sent to the framer transmit interface.
In “Standby” mode, cells are accepted from the “UTOPIA Transmit interface”, but byte-
pattern 0 is sent to the framer transmit interface.
In “Active” mode, cells are accepted from the “UTOPIA Transmit interface”, and user
data octets are sent to the framer transmit interface.
When activating the AAL reassembly channels, it is important to follow the initialization
sequence as shown in
Table 19
. Step 2 must be held at least 250
μ
s to internally reset
the AAL channel. During this time the device connected to the Framer Transmit Interface
has to be in normal operation allowing the IWE8 to synchronize itself on the frame pulse.
4.4.2.2
Physical Reassembly Buffer Size
Based on the cell filling level, AAL type and use of SDT, a memory block can be divided
into subblocks, where the user data octets of a single cell are stored. The size of the
memory subblock per Reassembly Buffer is automatically adapted.
Table 20
shows this
relationship.
The physical Reassembly Buffer size used for a N x 64 kbit/s connection is given by:
Physical Size(octets) = N x 8 x Cell Filling x Cells per Block.
