Method 2 Operation of the Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface Block
To operate the Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface block per Method 2, design/configure the System-Side
Terminal Equipment to continuously and repeatedly execute the following tasks.
TASK # 1: The System-Side Terminal Equipment must sample the states of both theTxOHFrame and the
TxOHEnable output pins (from the XRT79L71) upon the falling edge of the TxInClk clock input signal. The
XRT79L71 will pulse the TxOHEnable output pin "High" for one TxInClk period, just prior to the instant that the
Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface block is processing an overhead bit. Therefore, if the System-Side
Terminal Equipment samples the TxOHEnable output pin "High", then it knows that an overhead bit insertion
opportunity (via the Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface block) is just about to occur. If the System-Side
Terminal Equipment samples both the TxOHEnable and the TxOHFrame output pins "High" at the same time,
then it knows that the Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface block is just about to process the very first
overhead bit within a new E3 frame.
TASK # 2: As the System-Side Terminal Equipment samples the TxOHEnable and TxOHFrame signals, it
must also keep track of the number of times that the TxOHEnable output pin has been sampled "High" since
the last time both the TxOHEnable and the TxOHFrame output pins have been sampled "High". By doing this,
the System-Side Terminal Equipment will be able to keep track of which overhead bits are currently being
processed by the Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface block at any give TxOHEnable assertion. When the
System-Side Terminal Equipment knows which overhead bit is being processed within a given TxOHEnable
assertion period, it can decide when to insert the appropriate bit-value to the Transmit Overhead Data Input
Interface block (and in-turn, force the Transmit DS3/E3 Framer block to insert this bit into the appropriate
overhead bit-position within the outbound E3 data-stream).
From all of this, the System-Side Terminal
Equipment will know when it should assert the TxOHIns input pin and place the appropriate value on the TxOH
input pin of the XRT79L71.
Table 41 relates the number of TxOHEnable output pulses that have occurred since both the TxOHFrame and
the TxOHEnable pins were both sampled "High", to the E3 Overhead bit being processed by the Transmit
Overhead Data Input Interface block. The user can use this table as a guide for inserting the appropriate
overhead bits, within the outbound E3 data-stream for Method 2.
