The Receive DS3 Framer block will also issue a
Change in OOF Status interrupt request, anytime
there is a change in the OOF status.
5.3.2.3
Forcing a Reframe via Software Com-
mand
The Framer IC permits the user to force a reframe
procedure of the Receive DS3 Framer block via soft-
ware command. If a "1" is written into Bit 0 of the I/O
Control Register, as depicted below, then the Receive
DS3 Framer will be forced into the Frame Acquisition
Mode, (or more specifically, in the F-Bit Search State
per Figure 88). Afterwards, the Receive DS3 Framer
block will begin its search for valid F-Bits. The Fram-
er IC will also respond to this command by asserting
the RxOOF output pin, and generating a Change in
OOF Status interrupt.
5.3.2.4
DS3 Framer block
The user can monitor the number of framing bit errors
(M and F bits) that have been detected by the Re-
Performance Monitoring of the Receive
ceive DS3 Framer block. This is accomplished by pe-
riodically reading the PMON Framing Bit Error Count
Registers (Address = 0x52 and 0x53), as depicted
below.
When the μP/μC reads these registers, it will read in
the number of framing bit errors that have been de-
tected since the last read of these two registers.
These registers are reset upon read.
5.3.2.5
DS3 Receive Alarms
The Receive DS3 Framer block is capable of detect-
ing any of the following alarm conditions.
LOS (Loss of Signal)
AIS (Alarm Indication Signal)
The Idle Pattern.
FERF (Far-End Receive Failure) of Yellow Alarm
condition.
FEBE (Far-End-Block Error)
Change in AIC State
The methods by which the Receive DS3 Framer block
uses to detect and declare each of these alarm condi-
tions are described below.
5.3.2.5.1
The Loss of Signal (LOS) Alarm
The Receive DS3 Framer block will declare a Loss of
Signal (LOS) state when it detects 180 consecutive
