The role of the registers for Idle Cell Pattern—Bytes 1
through 4 is quite straightforward. When the Transmit
Cell Processor opts to generate an Idle cell, it will
read in the content of these registers and send these
values onto the HEC Byte Calculator. Consequently,
the contents of the “Transmit Idle Cell Pattern—
Header Byte 5” will likely be overwritten by the HEC
Byte Calculator in the Idle Cell, unless the HEC Byte
Calculator has been disabled (See Section 6.2.2.1.2).
The payload portion of these Idle Cells is defined by
the contents of the Transmit Idle Cell Payload Register
(Address = 69h), repeated 48 times. When the Transmit
Cell Processor reads in this register to form the cell
payload, the resulting payload will be sent on to the
Cell Scrambler and is (optionally) scrambled just like
any assigned cell.
The UNI will keep track of the number of Idle cells
that have been generated and transmitted to the
Transmit PLCP Processor (or the Transmit DS3
Framer). The Transmit Cell Processor increments the
contents of the “PMON Transmitted Idle Cell Count
(MSB and LSB)” Registers (Address = 38h and 39h)
for each Idle Cell that is generated and transmitted.
These two registers are “Reset-upon-Read” registers
that, when concatenated, presents a 16-bit represen-
tation of the total number of idle cells generated and
transmitted since the last time these registers were
read. The bit format of these two registers follow.
