Case Study: The Terminal Equipment intends to insert the appropriate overhead bits into the Transmit
Overhead Data Input Interface (using Method 1) in order to transmit a Yellow Alarm to the remote
terminal equipment.
In this example, the Terminal Equipment intends to insert the appropriate overhead bits, into the Transmit
Overhead Data Input Interface, such that the XRT72L50 will transmit a Yellow Alarm to the remote terminal
equipment. Recall that, for E3 Applications, a Yellow Alarm is transmitted by setting the FERF bit (within the
MA Byte) to "0".
If one assumes that the connection between the Terminal Equipment and the XRT72L50 are as illustrated in
Figure 158 then Figure 159 presents an illustration of the signaling that must go on between the Terminal
Equipment and the XRT72L50.

XRT72L5x Framer samples TxOHIns and
TxOHIns signal
In Figure 159 the Terminal Equipment samples the TxOHFrame signal being "High" at rising clock edge # “0".
From this point, the Terminal Equipment waits until it has detected 32 rising edges in the TxOHClk signal. At
this point, the Terminal Equipment knows that the XRT72L50 is just about to process the FERF bit within the
MA byte (in a given Outbound E3 frame). Additionally, according to Table 70, the 32nd overhead bit to be
processed is the FERF bit. In order to facilitate the transmission of the Yellow Alarm, the Terminal Equipment
must set this FERF bit to "1". Hence, the Terminal Equipment starts this process by implementing the following
steps concurrently.
a. Assert the TxOHIns input pin by setting it "High".
b. Set the TxOH input pin to "0".
After the Terminal Equipment has applied these signals, the XRT72L50 will sample the data on both the
TxOHIns and TxOH signals upon the very next falling edge of TxOHClk (designated at 32- in Figure 159).
Once the XRT72L50 has sampled this data, it will then insert a "1" into the FERF bit position, in the Outbound
E3 frame.
