Table 23 illustrates the ASM time-slot format for valid channels.

* X indicates bits that are undefined by the framer.
The identical sense of the received system P bit in the transmitted signaling data is echoed back to the system in the received
signaling information.
The DS1 framing formats require rate adaptation from the line-interface 1.544 Mbits/s bit stream to the system-
interface 4.096 Mbits/s bit stream. The rate adaptation results in the need for stuffed time slots on the system inter-
face. Table 24 illustrates the ASM format for T1 stuffed channels used by the TFRA08C13. The stuffed data byte
contains the programmable idle code in register FRM_PR23 (default = 7F (hex)), while the signaling byte is
ignored.

CEPT: Time Slot 16 Signaling
Microprocessor Control Registers
To enable signaling, register FRM_PR44 bit 0 must be set to 0 (default).
The information written into transmit signaling control registers FRM_TSR0—FRM_TSR31 define the state of the
ABCD bits of time slot 16 transmitted to the line.
The received signaling data from time slot 16 is stored in receive signaling registers FRM_RSR0—FRM_RSR31.
Associated Signaling Mode
Signaling information in the associated signaling mode (ASM), register FRM_PR44 bit 2 = 1, is allocated an 8-bit
system time slot in conjunction with the data information for a particular channel. The default system data rate in
the ASM mode is 4.096 Mbits/s. Each system channel consists of an 8-bit payload time slot followed by its associ-
ated 8-bit signaling time slot. The format of the signaling byte is identical to the signaling registers.

* In the CEPT formats, these bits are undefined.
The P bit is the parity-sense bit calculated over the 8 data bits, the ABCD (and E) bits, and the P bit. The identical sense of the received
system P bit in the transmitted signaling data is echoed back to the system in the received signaling information.
