BBG20 TMUX Quick Reference Summary 7
Transmit Functions 7
The BBG20 TMUX transmit functions are as follows:
â– Receives a B3ZS-encoded DS3 signal from a DSX-3
â– Recovers DS3 clock and NRZ data
â– Calculates parity errors on the DS3 input
â– Demultiplexes the M13 or C-bit formatted DS3 signal into 28 DS1s
â– Maps the 28 DS1s into VT1.5s and then into an STS-1
â– Inserts STS-1 path overhead
â– Provides the STS-1 signal to the OLIU circuit packs.
Receive Functions 7
The BBG20 TMUX receive functions are as follows:
â– Interprets the STS-1 pointer values
â– Terminates the STS-1 path
â– Disinterleaves the STS-1 signal into 28 VT1.5s and interprets VT pointer
values
â– Converts the VT1.5 signals to 28 DS1 signals
â– Multiplexes the 28 DS1 signals to an M13 or C-bit formatted DS3 signal
â– B3ZS encodes the outgoing DS3 signal
â– Pre-equalizes the DS3 signal (with LBO) and transmits it to a DSX-3.
Control Functions 7
The major control functions are as follows:
â– Protection switching for BBG20 TMUX circuit packs
â– STS-1 path overhead processing
â– Internal fault detection
â– Inventory information (
CLEI
code, date of manufacture, etc.)
