Receive D Channel Time-Slot Assignment Select:
DR5–DR0, SR1–SR0
DR5–DR0 bits define the binary number of the 8-bit wide
time-slot, where the time-slots are numbered from 0 to 63.
Within this selected time-slot, the SR1 and SR0 bits define
the binary number of the 2 D channel bits. Sub-slots are
numbered 0 to 3, as shown in Figure 12 and the following
table. New time-slot and sub-slot assignments become ef-
fective only at the beginning of a frame.

9.10 Configuration Register OPR:
Overhead Bit Processing
This register controls the enabling/disabling of conditions
which are sent to the Interrupt Stack (see 10.1) as a result
of new data in the RXM4 and RXM56 Overhead Bits Regis-
ters, and the number of consecutive times a new bit or mes-
sage is received before being validated. Flexibility is there-
fore provided to use hardware, external firmware routines or
a combination of both for validation.

No Interrupt if near-end crc error (Block Error
Counters still count).

RXM56 Status Register Interrupt is generated, with

generated crc result does not match the crc in the
received superframe.

RXM56 Status Register Interrupt is generated, with
RFB
e
0, each superframe in which febe
e
0 is
received.
Receive Overhead Bits Interrupt Enable: 0B1, 0B0
These bits determine how many consecutive superframes
must be received with the same new data in any of the
overhead bit positions M41–M48, M51, M52 and/or M61
before an Interrupt(s) is generated for the RXM4 and/or
RXM56 Register, as appropriate. Note that validation check-
ing of the ‘‘a(chǎn)ct’’ and ‘‘dea’’ bits during activation/deactiva-
tion is not affected by OB1/OB0.

3 consecutive times for same new bit(s)
before Interrupt.
Receive Embedded Operations Channel Interrupt
Enable: OC1, OC0
These bits determine how many consecutive half-super-
frames must be received with the same new address or data
in the Embedded Operations Channel before an Interrupt is
generated for the RX EOC Register.
OC1
*
0
OC0
0

which differs from previous message.

before Interrupt.
9.11 Transmit M4 Channel Register TXM4
(Write Only)
When the line is superframe synchronized, the device trans-
mits the contents of this register to the line in the M4 over-
head bit field once per superframe.

At Power-On Reset, and each time the device is Deactivat-
ed (or an Activation attempt fails), this register is initialized

ACT Bit
The ACT bit in the TXM4 register does not normally control
the ‘‘a(chǎn)ct’’ bit in the M4 word transmitted to the line (see
Table I). That ‘‘a(chǎn)ct ’’ bit is generated automatically within the
device and can be controlled through the Activation Control
Register (see Table I and Section 11.0, Activation/Deactiva-
tion). In normal operation the ACT bit in the TXM4 register is
ignored.
M42–M48 Bits
As shown in the Frame Formats in Table I, the functions of
these bits depend on the mode of the device. They should
be programmed as appropriate prior to an Activation Re-
quest, with the exception of the M42 bit in LT Mode. This is
the dea bit, which is automatically controlled by the device
in response to AR and DR commands; the M42 bit in this
register is normally ignored in LT mode.
