RELAYPAIS
The relay path AIS (RELAYPAIS) bit selects the condition to enter the path AIS state in the
pointer interpreter state machine. When RELAYPAIS is set to logic 1, the path AIS state is
entered with 1 X AIS_ind indication. When RELAYPAIS is set to logic 0, the path AIS
state is entered with 3 X AIS_ind indications. This configuration bit also affects the
concatenation pointer interpreter state machine.
NDFCNT
The new data flag counter (NDFCNT) bit selects the behavior of the consecutive
NDF_ENABLE event counter in the pointer interpreter state machine. When NDFCNT is
set to logic 1, the NDF_ENABLE definition is enabled NDF + ss. When NDFCNT is set to
logic 0, the NDF_ENABLE definition is enabled NDF + ss + offset value in the range 0 to
782. This configuration bit only changes the NDF_ENABLE definition for the consecutive
NDF_ENABLE even counter to count towards LOP-P defect when the pointer is out of
range. This configuration bit has no bearing on pointer justification indication. It should be
noted that this bit has no bearing on the INV_POINT counter, so an out of range
NDF_ENABLE indication will always increment the INV_POINT counter irrespective of
the NDFCNT bit setting.
