3-CHANNEL DS3/E3/STS-1 TO STS-3/STM-1 MAPPER IC DATA SHEET
254
 A “negative-stuff” will occur (e.g., a single payload byte will be inserted into the “H3 byte” position, within the
outbound STS-3c data-stream).
 The “D” bits, within the H1 and H2 bytes will be inverted (to denote a “Decrementing” pointer-adjustment
event).
 The contents of the H1 and H2 bytes will be decremented by “1” and will be used as the new pointer from
this point on.
Note:
The contents of Bit 3 (Insert Negative Stuff) will be automatically cleared after the user has written a “1” into this
bit-field. Hence, there is no need for the user to go back and write a “0” into this bit-field.
2.2.7.3.11.3
Forcing a Single NDF Event via Software
The Transmit STS-3c POH Processor block permits the user to force a single NDF event into the outbound
STS-3c data-stream. This can be accomplished by executing the following steps.
STEP 1- Write the new “desired” pointer value into Bits 1 and 0 (H1 Pointer Value) within the
“Transmit STS-3c Path – Transmit Arbitrary H1 Pointer Register; and Bits 7 through 0 (H2 Pointer
Value) within the “Transmit STS-3c Path – Transmit Arbitrary H2 Pointer Register.
The bit-format of these two registers (with the relevant bit-fields shaded) is presented below.

STEP 2 – Induce a “0 to 1 transition” in Bit 0 (Insert Single NDF Event) within the “Transmit STS-3c
Path – Transmit Path Control” Register; as depicted below.

Once the user induces this “0 to 1 transition” in Bit 0, then the following events will occur.
 The “N” bits, in the H1 byte (within the very next outbound STS-3c frame) will be set to the value “1001”.
