register, in order to keep the Transmit FEAC Processor
enabled.
Once this step has been completed, the Transmit
FEAC Processor will proceed to transmit the 16 bit
FEAC code via the outbound DS3 frames. This 16 bit
FEAC message will be transmitted repeatedly 10
consecutive times. Hence, this process will require a
total of 160 DS3 Frames. During this process the Tx
FEAC Busy bit (Bit 0, within the Transmit DS3 FEAC
Configuration and Status register) will be asserted, in-
dicating that the Tx FEAC Processor is currently
transmitting the FEAC Message to the remote Termi-
nal. This bit-field will toggle to "0" upon completion of
the 10th transmission of the FEAC Code Message.
The Transmit FEAC Processor will generate an inter-
rupt (if enabled) to the local µP/µC, upon completion
of the 10th transmission of the FEAC Message. The
purpose of having the Framer IC generating this inter-
rupt is to let the local µP/µC know that the Transmit
FEAC Processor is now available and ready to trans-
mit a new FEAC message. Finally, once the Transmit
FEAC Processor has completed its 10th transmission
of a FEAC Code Message it will then begin sending
all 1s in the FEAC bit-field of each DS3 Frame. The
Receive FEAC Processor (at the remote terminal
equipment) will interpret this all 1s message as an
Idle FEAC Message. The Transmit FEAC Processor
will continue sending all 1s in the FEAC bit field, for
an indefinite period of time, until the local µP/µC com-
mands it to transmit a new FEAC message.
Figure 68 presents a flow chart depicting how to use
the Transmit FEAC Processor.
