Power Circuitry 
7
The BBG4/BBG4B DS3 circuit pack receives two sources of 
−
48 volts that are in 
turn diode ORed, fused, and filtered before conversion to +5 volts to power the 
rest of the circuit pack. A failure of the fuse or converter causes the red FAULT 
LED to light. 
BBG4/BBG4B DS3 Quick Reference Summary 
7
Transmit Functions 
7
The BBG4/BBG4B DS3 transmit functions are as follows: 
■
Receives a B3ZS-encoded DS3 signal from a DSX-3 
■
Recovers DS3 and NRZ data 
■
Optionally checks and/or corrects P-bit parity errors 
■
Synchronizes the data signal to STS-1 signal rate 
■
Inserts STS-1 path overhead 
■
Provides the STS-1 signal to the OLIU circuit packs. 
Receive Functions 
7
The following receive functions are performed by the BBG4/BBG4B DS3 circuit 
pack: 
■
Desynchronizes the incoming STS-1 signal 
■
Terminates the STS-1 path 
■
Optionally checks and/or corrects P-bit parity errors 
■
B3ZS encodes the outgoing DS3 signal 
■
Pre-equalizes the DS3 signal (with LBO) and transmits it to a DSX-3. 
Control Functions 
7
The major control functions are as follows: 
■
Protection switching for BBG4/BBG4B DS3 circuit packs 
■
STS-1 path overhead processing 
■
Internal fault detection 
■
