Frame Formats
(continued)
Cyclic redundancy checking is performed over the entire ESF data payload (4,608 data bits, with all 24 framing bits
(F
E
, D
L
, CRC-6) set to one during calculations). The CRC-6 bits transmitted in ESF will be determined as follows:
I
The check bits, c1 through c6, contained in ESF(n+ 1) will always be those associated with the contents of
ESF(n), the immediately preceding ESF. When there is no ESF immediately preceding, the check bits may be
assigned any value.
I
For the purpose of CRC-6 calculation only, every F bit in ESF(n) is set to 1. ESF(n) is altered in no other way.
I
The resulting 4632 bits of ESF(n) are used, in order of occurrence, to construct a polynomial in x such that the
first bit of ESF(n) is the coefficient of the term x
4631
and the last bit of ESF(n) is the coefficient of the term x
0
.
I
The polynomial is multiplied by the factor x
6
, and the result is divided, modulo 2, by the generator polynomial x
6
+ x + 1. The coefficients of the remainder polynomial are used, in order of occurrence, as the ordered set of
check bits, c1 through c6, that are transmitted in ESF(n+ 1). The ordering is such that the coefficient of the term
x
5
in the remainder polynomial is check bit c1 and the coefficient of the term x
0
in the remainder polynomial is
check bit c6.
The ESF remote frame alarm consists of a repeated eight ones followed by eight zeros transmitted in the data link
position of the framing bits.
T1 Loss of Frame Alignment (LFA)
Loss of frame alignment condition for the superframe or the extended superframe formats is caused by the inability
of the receive framer to maintain the proper sequence of frame bits. The number of errored framing bits required to
detect a loss of frame alignment is given is Table 26.
Table 26. T1 Loss of Frame Alignment Criteria
The receive framer indicates the loss of frame and superframe conditions by setting the LFA and LSFA bits
(FRM_SR1 bit 0 and bit 1), respectively, in the status registers for the duration of the conditions. The local system
may give indication of its LFA state to the remote end by transmitting a remote frame alarm (RFA). In addition, in
the LFA state, the system may transmit an alarm indication signal (AIS) to the system interface.
