Set the Rx FERF bit-field, within the Rx E3 Configu-
ration/Status Register to “1”, as depicted below.
Clearing the FERF Condition
The Receive E3 Framer block will clear the FERF
condition once it has received a User-Selectable
number of E3 frames is either 3 or 5 depending upon
the value that has been written into Bit 4 (Rx FERF
Algo) of the Rx E3 Configuration/Status Register, as
discussed above.
Whenever the Receive E3 Framer clears the FERF
status, then it will do the following:
1. Generate a Change in the FERF Status Interrupt
to the Microprocessor.
2. Clear the Bit 0 (RxFERF) within the Rx E3 Con-
figuration & Status register, as depicted below.
6.3.2.7
Error Checking of the Incoming E3
Frames
The Receive E3 Framer block performs error-check-
ing on the incoming E3 frame data that it receives
from the Remote Terminal Equipment. It performs
this error-checking by computing the BIP-8 value of
an incoming E3 frame. Once the Receive E3 Framer
block has obtained this value, it will compare this val-
ue with that of the “EM” byte that it receives, within
the very next E3 frame. If the locally computed BIP-8
value matches the EM byte of the corresponding E3
frame, then the Receive E3 Framer block will con-
clude that this particular frame has been properly re-
ceived. The Receive E3 Framer block will then inform
the Remote Terminal Equipment of this fact by having
the Local Terminal Equipment Transmit E3 Framer
block send the Remote Terminal an E3 frame, with
the FEBE bit-field, within the MA byte, set to “0”.
Figure 196 illustrates the Local Receive E3 Framer
receiving an error-free E3 frame. In this figure, the lo-
cally computed BIP-8 value of “0x5A” matches that
received from the Remote Terminal, within the EM
byte-field.
