3.2.1 Guidelines for Setting the Receive Equal-
izer
This data sheet presents guidelines for setting the
Receive Equalizer, for the following conditions.
1. If the overall cable length, from the local Receiv-
ing Terminal to the Remote Transmitting Terminal
is NOT known.
2. If the overall cable length, from the Local Receiv-
ing Terminal to the remote Transmitting Terminal
is known.
3.2.1.1 If the Overall Cable Length is NOT
Known
This section presents recommendations on what
state to set the Receive Equalizer when the overall
cable-length, from the local Receiving Terminal to the
remote Transmitting Terminal is NOT known. For
DS3, STS-1 and E3 applications, enable the Receive
Equalizer by setting either the REQEN_(n) input pin
“high” or the REQEN_(n) bit-field to “1”. The remain-
der of this section provides an explanation why we
recommend enabling the Receive Equalizer for these
applications.
3.2.1.1.1 The Use of the Receive Equalizer in a
Typical DS3 or STS-1 Application
Most System Manufacturers of equipment supporting
DS3 and STS-1 lines, interface their equipment to ei-
ther a DSX-3 or STSX-1 Cross-Connect. While in-
stalling their equipment the Transmit Line Build-Out
circuit is set to the proper setting that makes the
transmit output pulse compliant with the Isolated
DSX-3 or STSX-1 Pulse Template requirements. For
the XRT73L03A device, this is achieved by setting the
TXLEV_(n) input pin or bit-field to the appropriate lev-
el.
When the System Manufacturer is interfacing the Re-
ceive Section of the XRT73L03A to the Cross-Con-
nect, they should be aware of the following facts:
1. All DS3 or STS-1 line signals that are present at
either the DSX-3 or the STSX-1 Cross Connect
are required to meet the Isolated Pulse Template
