The details and instructions for using either of these features are presented below.
2.2.7.3.4.1
Automatically setting the J1 byte (within each outbound STS-3c SPE) to “0x00”
The XRT94L33 permits the user to configure each of the four (4) Transmit STS-3c POH Processor blocks to
automatically set the contents of the J1 byte (within each outbound STS-3c SPE) to “0x00”.
The user can accomplish this by writing the value “[0, 0]” into Bits 1 and 0 (J1 Type[1:0]) within the
appropriate “Transmit STS-3c Path – Transmit J1 Control” Register; as depicted below.

Once the user executes this step, then the corresponding Transmit STS-3c POH Processor block(s) will be
configured to automatically set the J1 byte (within each outbound STS-3c SPE) to the value “0x00”.
2.2.7.3.4.2
Using the “Transmit Path Trace Message” Buffer
The XRT94L33 contains a total of four (4) “Transmit Path Trace Message Buffers (one for each “Transmit
STS-3c POH Processor Block, within the device).
The address location of the “Transmit Path Trace Message” buffer, for each of the four Transmit STS-3c POH
Processor blocks is presented below.

If the user wishes to use the “Path Trace Message” buffer as the means to load and transmit the “Path Trace
Message” to the remote PTE, the following steps must be executed.
STEP 1 – Write the contents of this outbound “Path Trace Message” into the “Transmit Path Trace
Message” buffer.
As the user writes the contents of the “outbound” Path Trace Message” into the “Transmit Path Trace”
Message buffer they must make sure that the first byte of the message is written into Address location
0xNC00 (e.g., the very first address location of the “Transmit Path Trace Message” buffer).
