The role/function of each of these bit-fields within the register, are discussed below.
4.2.4.2.1.1
Transmit Yellow Alarm - Bit 7
This read/write bit field permits the user to force the transmission of a Yellow Alarm to the remote terminal
equipment via software control. If the user opts to transmit a Yellow Alarm then both of the X-bits, within the
outbound DS3 frames will be set to '0'. Table 24 relates the content of this bit field to the Transmit DS3 Framer
block's action.

CONFIGURATION REGISTER, AND THE RESULTING TRANSMIT DS3 FRAMER BLOCK'S ACTION
BIT 7
0
1
TRANSMIT DS3 FRAMER'S ACTION
Normal Operation:
The X-bits are generated by the Transmit DS3 Framer block based upon Near End Receiving Conditions (as
detected by the Receive Section of the chip)
Transmit Yellow Alarm:
The Transmit DS3 Framer block will overwrite the X-bits by setting them all to 0. The payload information is
not modified and is transmitted as normal.
NOTE: This bit is ignored when either the TxIDLE, TxAIS, or the TxLOS bit-fields are set.
4.2.4.2.1.2
Transmit X-bit - Bit 6
This bit field functions as the logical complement to Bit 7 (e.g., Tx Yellow Alarm). This read/write bit field
permits the user to force all of the X-bits, in the outbound DS3 frames, to "1" and transmit them to the remote
terminal equipment. Table 25 relates the content of this bit field to the Transmit DS3 Framer Block's action.

REGISTER, AND THE RESULTING TRANSMIT DS3 FRAMER BLOCK'S ACTION
BIT 6
0
1
TRANSMIT DS3 FRAMER'S ACTION
Normal Operation:
The X-bits are generated by the Transmit DS3 Framer block based upon Receiving Conditions (as detected
by the Receive Section of the Framer chip).
Set X-bits to 1:
The Transmit DS3 Framer will overwrite the X-bits by setting them to 1. Payload information is not modified
and is transmitted as normal.
NOTE: This bit is ignored when either the Transmit Yellow Alarm, Tx AIS, Tx IDLE, or TxLOS bit is set.
4.2.4.2.1.3
Transmit Idle Pattern - Bit 5
This read/write bit field permits the user to transmit an Idle pattern to the remote terminal equipment upon
software control. Table 26 relates the contents of this bit field to the Transmit DS3 Framer's action.
