5.2.3 Working Principle and Signal Flow
The AND1EM8T mainly consists of the service access module, service processing module,
management module, clock module, and power supply module.
Figure 5-3 shows the block diagram for the functions of the AND1EM8T.

Transmit Direction
The service packets from AND1CXPA/AND1CXPB are sent to the service processing module
through the backplane-side interface of the AND1EM8T. The service processing module
identifies the destination interfaces for the packets, and buffers and schedules the packets. Then,
the service processing module sends the processed packets to the service access module, where
coding/decoding and serial/parallel conversion are performed. Finally, the service access module
outputs the packets through the GE/FE interfaces on the front panel.
Receive Direction
The GE/FE interfaces on the front panel receive GE/FE service signals. Then, the service access
module performs serial/parallel conversion and coding/decoding on the services, and then sends
