To Transmit E3 Framer Block
The E3, ITU-T G.832 Frame consists of 537 bytes.
Of these bytes, 530 bytes are payload bytes and the
remaining 7 are overhead bytes. The XRT72L56 has
been designed to handle and process both the pay-
load type and overhead type bits for each E3 frame.
Within the Transmit Section within the XRT72L56, the
Transmit Payload Data Input Interface has been de-
signed to handle the payload data. Likewise, the
Transmit Overhead Input Interface has been designed
to handle and process the overhead bits.
The Transmit Section of the XRT72L56 generates or
processes the various overhead bits within the E3
frame, in the following manner.
The Frame Alignment Overhead Bytes (e.g., the
“FA1” and “FA2” bytes)
The "FA1" and "FA2" bytes are always internally gen-
erated by the Transmit Section of the XRT72L56.
Hence, the user cannot insert his/her value for the
"FA1" and "FA2" bytes into the Outbound DS3 data
stream, via the Transmit Overhead Data Input Inter-
face.
The Error Monitoring (EM) Overhead Byte
The EM byte is always internally generated by the
Transmit Section of the XRT72L56. Hence, the user
cannot insert his/her value for the EM byte into the
Outbound E3 data stream, via the Transmit Overhead
Data Input Interface.
The Alarm and signaling related Overhead bytes
Bytes that are used to transport the alarm conditions
can be either internally generated by the Transmit
Section within the XRT72L56, or can be externally
generated and inserted into the Outbound E3 data
stream, via the Transmit Overhead Data Input Inter-
face. The E3 frame overhead bits that fall into this
category are:
• The "MA” byte
• The "TR” byte
The Data Link Related Overhead Bits
The E3 frame structure also contains bits which can
be used to transport User Data Link information and
Path Maintenance Data Link information. The UDL
(User Data Link) bits are only accessible via the
Transmit Overhead Data Input Interface. The Path
