Table 38 relates the contents of this bit-field to the
OOF Declaration criteria
NOTE: Once the Receive DS3 Framer block has declared
an OOF condition, it will transition back to the F-Bit Search
state within the DS3 Frame Acquisition/Maintenance algo-
In addition to selecting an OOF Declaration criteria
for the F-bits, the user has the following options for
configuring the OOF Declaration criteria based upon
M-bits.
1. M-bit errors do not cause a OOF Declaration, or
2. OOF will be declared if 3 out of 4 consecutive M-
bits are in error.
The user will select between these two options by
writing the appropriate value to Bit 0 (M-Sync Algo)
within the Receive DS3 Configuration and Status
Register, as depicted below.
Table 39 relates the contents of this Bit Field to the M-
Bit Error criteria for Declaration of OOF.
The Framing on Parity Criteria for OOF Declara-
tion
Finally, the Framer IC offers the Framing on Parity op-
tion, which also effects the OOF Declaration criteria.
As was mentioned earlier, the Framer IC allows the
user to configure the Receive DS3 Framer block to
detect 'valid-parity' before declaring itself In-Frame.
This same selection also configures the Receive DS3
Framer block to also declare an OOF Condition if a P-
bit error is detected in 2 of the last 5 M-frames.
