SET_SIG
Force RSIG Interrupt—Allows the processor to receive an interrupt on RSIG [addr 008] at
every multiframe boundary. Applicable only to T1 mode. Overrides STACK interrupt.
0 = RSIG interrupt on signaling STACK change
1 = RSIG interrupts on T1 multiframe boundary
Overwrite Robbed-Bit Signaling—Applicable only during T1 mode and function dependent
on RIDLE. When RIDLE is inactive, SET_SIG forces receive robbed-bit signaling to one
before updating the RSLIP time slot value. Bit 8 of each time slot received during signaling
frames 6, 12, 18, and 24 is replaced with a 1. This function is particularly useful in
cross-connect and exchange systems that strip robbed-bit signaling, or in systems that use
different signaling frame alignment on inbound and outbound ports.
0 = no change to receive signaling
1 = replace robbed-bit signaling
UNICODE
Inband Signaling Freeze (applicable to T1 modes only)—If UNICODE is enabled, received
ABCD signaling on all channels is searched on a per-channel basis for the 4-bit UNICODE
pattern. UNICODE pattern detection inhibits STACK and RSIG buffer updates for that
channel as long as UNICODE is present, but does not affect SIGFRZ output. It is not reported
to the processor. This function is described in Bellcore TR-TSY-000303, Section 4.4.9, Revision
2, July 1989.
0 = no effect
1 = enable UNICODE detection and per-channel signaling freeze
DEBOUNCE
Debounce Receive ABCD Signaling—Applicable only to those channels where the signaling
stack is enabled (SIG_STK; addr 180–19F). The signaling buffer (RSIG) output updates for
these channels are evaluated after D-bit signaling is received. New signaling is placed into
RSIG and STACK buffers only if the RSIG input and output values differ. The DEBOUNCE
function filters single bit errors in ABCD signaling by comparing incoming bits, buffered bits
from the previous multiframe, and output bits on a bit-by-bit basis. A signaling error is
detected if the new input signaling and current output signaling are the same but differ from
the current buffered signaling. When this occurs, the current buffered signaling is rejected, and
the output signaling does not change. Therefore, output signaling is updated only when the
current buffered signaling and the input signaling are equal. At the end of each multiframe, the
entire input ABCD value is copied to the output ABCD value.
0 = no effect
1 = debounce receive ABCD signaling
