Method 2 Operation of the Terminal Equipment
If the Terminal Equipment intends to insert any over-
head data into the outbound DS3 data stream (via the
Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface), then it is ex-
pected to do the following.
1. To sample the state of both the TxOHFrame and
the TxOHEnable input signals, via the
DS3_Clock_In (e.g., either the TxInClk or the
RxOutClk signal of the XRT7250) signal. If the
Terminal Equipment samples the TxOHEnable
signal "High", then it knows that the XRT7250 is
about to process an overhead bit. Further, if the
Terminal Equipment samples both the TxO-
HFrame and the TxOHEnable pins "High" (at the
same time) then the Terminal Equipment knows
that the XRT7250 is about to process the first
overhead bit, within a new DS3 frame.
2. To keep track of the number of times that the
TxOHEnable signal has been sampled "High"
since the last time both the TxOHFrame and the
TxOHEnable signals were sampled "High". By
doing this, the Terminal Equipment will be able to
keep track of which overhead bit the Transmit
Overhead Data Input Interface is about ready to
process. From this, the Terminal Equipment will
know when it should assert the TxOHIns input pin
and place the appropriate value on the TxOH
input pins (of the XRT7250).
Table 23 also relates the number of TxOHEnable out-
put pulses (that have occurred since both the TxO-
HFrame and TxOHEnable pins were sampled "High")
to the DS3 overhead bit, that is being processed.
