TNRZ
Transmit NRZ Data—Transmit dual-rail unipolar outputs TPOSO/TNEGO are replaced by
non-return to 0 unipolar data (TNRZO) and transmit multiframe sync (MSYNCO). Both
outputs are clocked on the rising edge of transmitter clock (TCKI). Line encoding of bipolar
signals on XTIP/XRING is unaffected. MSYNCO active (high) always marks the first bit of
transmit multiframe according to the selected transmit framer mode.
0 = TPOSO/TNEGO encoded per TZCS[1:0]
1 = TPOSO/TNEGO replaced by TNRZO/MSYNCO
TABORT
Abort/Disable TX Offline Framer—The offline framer ignores reframe requests from the
online framer (TLOF) and aborts any in progress TLOF reframe requests. The loss of frame
status [TLOF; addr 048] is not affected. While TABORT remains active, the offline framer
responds only to the processor force reframe request (TFORCE). This allows the processor to
manually control reframe criteria or lock out changes in the current transmit frame alignment.
0 = normal framer operation
1 = framer disabled
TABORT interacts with EMBED [addr 0D0] to select which data stream is examined by
online and offline transmit framer during embedded framing modes. If EMBED is active,
TXDATA output from TSLIP is examined and used to align the TX timebase; otherwise, the
TPCMI data stream is examined and used to align the TSB timebase, as defined in Table 3-19.

TFORCE
Force TX Reframe (auto clear)—Forces the offline framer to perform a single reframe,
according to the selected transmit framer mode. TFORCE is automatically cleared when the
framer acknowledges a request [ACTIVE; addr 017]. The processor typically does not need to
force a reframe, because the online framer reframe request (TLOF) is active when reframe
criteria TLOFC–A is met. However, the processor may attempt force a reframe if the frame or
CRC bit error ratio indicates that the framer has aligned to a mimic pattern.
0 = no effect
1 = force TX reframe
