9.8.1.4 Receiving Mapped T1 Channels from a 2.048MHz Backplane 
Setting the TSCLKM bit in 
TIOCR
.4 enables the transmit elastic store to operate with a 2.048MHz backplane (32 
time slots / frame). In this mode the user can choose which of the backplane channels on TSERn will be mapped 
into the T1 data stream by programming the Transmit Blank Channel Select registers (
TBCS1
–4). A logic 1 in the 
associated bit location forces the transmit elastic store to ignore backplane data for that channel. Typically the user 
will want to program eight channels to be ignored. The default (power-up) configuration will ignore channels 25–32, 
so that the first 24 backplane channels are mapped into the T1 transmit data stream.  
For example, if the user desired to transmit data from the 2.048MHz backplane channels 2–16 and 18–26, the 
TBCS registers should be programmed as follows: 
TBCS1
 = 01h  :: ignore backplane channel 1 :: 
TBCS2
 = 00h   
TBCS3
 = 01h  :: ignore backplane channel 17 :: 
TBCS4
= FCh  :: ignore backplane channels 27–32 :: 
9.8.1.5 Mapping T1 Channels onto a 2.048MHz Backplane 
Setting the RSCLKM bit in 
RIOCR
.4 will enable the receive elastic store to operate with a 2.048MHz backplane (32 
time slots/frame). In this mode the user can choose which of the backplane channels on RSERn receive the T1 
data by programming the Receive Blank Channel Select registers (
RBCS1
–4). A logic 1 in the associated bit 
location will force RSERn high for that backplane channel. Typically the user will want to program eight channels to 
be blanked. The default (power-up) configuration will blank channels 25 to 32, so that the 24 T1 channels are 
mapped into the first 24 channels of the 2.048MHz backplane. If the user chooses to blank channel 1 (TS0) by 
setting 
RBCS1
.0 = 1, then the F-bit will be passed into the MSB of TS0 on RSERn. 
For example, if: 
RBCS1
 = 01h 
RBCS2
 = 00h 
RBCS3
 = 01h 
RBCS4
 = FCh 
Then on RSERn: 
Channel 1 (MSB) = F-bit 
Channel 1 (bits 1-7) = all ones 
Channels 2-16 = T1 channels 1-15 
Channel 17 = all ones 
Channels 18-26 = T1 channels 16-24 
Channels 27-32 = all ones 
Note that when two or more sequential channels are chosen to be blanked, the receive slip zone select bit should 
be set to zero. If the blank channels are distributed (such as 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29), the RSZS bit can be set to 
one, which can provide a lower occurrence of slips in certain applications. 
If the two-frame elastic buffer either fills or empties, a controlled slip will occur. If the buffer empties, then a full 
frame of data will be repeated at RSERn and the 
RLS4
.5 and 
RLS4
.6 bits will be set to a one. If the buffer fills, then 
a full frame of data will be deleted and the 
RLS4
.5 and 
RLS4
.7 bits will be set to a one. 
9.8.1.6 Receiving Mapped E1 Transmit Channels from a 1.544MHz Backplane 
The user can use the TSCLKM bit in 
TIOCR
.4 to enable the transmit elastic store to operate with a 1.544MHz 
backplane (24 channels / frame + F-bit). In this mode the user can choose which of the E1 time slots will have all-
ones data inserted by programming the Transmit Blank Channel Select registers (
TBCS1
–4). A logic 1 in the 
associated bit location will cause the elastic store to force all ones at the outgoing E1 data for that channel. 
Typically the user will want to program eight channels to be blanked. The default (power-up) configuration will blank 
channels 25 to 32, so that the first 24 E1 channels are mapped from the 24 channels of the 1.544MHz backplane.
