1 FEATURES
• Integrates eight E1 framers in a single device for terminating duplex E1
signals.

supports a fractional E1 system interface with independent ingress/egress
fractional E1 rates.
• Provides an optional backplane interface which is compatible with Mitel ST®-
bus, A T&T CHI® and MVIP PCM backplanes, supporting data rates of
2.048 Mbit/s and 8.192 Mbit/s. Up to four links may be byte interleaved on
each interface bus with no external circuitry.
• Extracts/inserts up to three HDLC links from/to arbitrary time slots to support
the D-channel for ISDN Primary Rate Interfaces and the C-channels for
V5.1/V5.2 interfaces as per ITU-T G.964, ITU-T G.965, ETS 300-324-1, and

6 DESCRIPTION
The PM6388 Octal E1 Framer (EOCTL) is a feature-rich device for use in systems
carrying data (frame relay, Point to Point Protocol, or other protocols) or voice over
E1 facilities. Each of the framers and transmitters is independently software
configurable, allowing feature selection without changes to external wiring.
On the receive side, each of eight independent framers can be configured to frame
to a basic G.704 2048 kbit/s signal as well as finding the signaling multiframe
alignment signal and the CRC multiframe alignment:. Framing can also be
bypassed (unframed mode). The EOCTL detects and indicates the presence
various alarm conditions such as loss of frame-alignment, loss of signaling
multiframe alignment, loss of CRC multiframe alignment, reception of remote alarm
indication signals, remote multiframe alarm signals, alarm indication signal (AIS),
and timeslot 16 alarm indication signal. The EOCTL integrates red and IS alarms as
per industry specifications. Performance monitoring with accumulation of CRC-4
errors, far-end block errors, framing bit errors, and out-of-frame events is provided.
The EOCTL also detects and terminates HDLC messages on TS16, the Sa National
bits, and/or on any arbitrary timeslot. Each HDLC link is terminated in a 128 byte
FIFO.
An elastic store that optionally supports slip buffering and adaptation to backplane
timing is provided, as is a signaling extractor that supports signaling debounce,
signaling freezing and interrupt on signaling state change on a per-channel basis.
The EOCTL also supports idle code substitution and detection, digital milliwatt code
insertion, data extraction, trunk conditioning, data inversion, and pattern generation
or detection on a per-channel basis.
On the transmit side, the EOCTL generates framing for a G.704 2048 kbit/s E1
signal. Framing can be optionally disabled. The signaling multiframe alignment
structure and the CRC multiframe structure may be optionally inserted. The EOCTL
supports signaling insertion, idle code substitution, data insertion, line loopback,
data inversion, and test pattern generation or detection on a per-channel basis.
Up to 3 HDLC links can be supported by the each octant of the EOCTL. Datalink
messages can be transmitted on TS16, the Sa National bits, and on an arbitrary
channel timeslot at the same time. The datalink messages may also be configured
to operate on 3 arbitrary channel timeslots.
The EOCTL can generate a low jitter transmit clock from a variety of clock
references, and also provides jitter attenuation in the receive path.

The EOCTL provides a parallel microprocessor interface for controlling the operation
of the EOCTL device. Serial PCM interfaces allow 2048 kbit/s ingress/egress
system interfaces to be directly supported.
The EOCTL also supports an alternate backplane interface where up to 4 links can
be byte-multiplexed onto one of two 8.192 Mbit/s buses. A link can be placed on
either bus. Slots which are not occupied by a link from the EOCTL device can be
used by other devices attached to the bus. This bus protocol is consistent with that
defined in the Mitel ST®, A T&T CHI® and MVIP PCM standards.
It should be noted that the EOCTL device operates on unipolar data only: HDB3
encoding and line code violation monitoring, if required, must be processed by the
E1 LIU.
