Configuring Scramble
T3/E3 scrambling is used to assist clock recovery on the receiving end. Scrambling is designed to
randomize the pattern of 1s and 0s carried in the physical layer frame. Randomizing the digital bits can
prevent continuous, nonvariable bit patterns—in other words, long strings of all 1s or all 0s. Several
physical layer protocols rely on transitions between 1s and 0s to maintain clocking.
Scrambling can prevent some bit patterns from being mistakenly interpreted as alarms by switches
placed between the Data Service Units (DSUs).
To configure scrambling, use the following commands:
