Note(s):
1. SMF indicates the sub-multiframe. This partitioning is used in the CRC-4 calculation.
2. Si bits are International Spare Bits.
3. A bit is used to indicate a remote alarm condition (active high).
4. SA4 to SA8 are spare bits that may be recommended by ITU–T for use in specific point-to-point applications (e.g., transcoder
equipment conforming to Recommendation G.761).
5. SA4 to SA8 where these are not used should be set to 1 on links crossing an international border.
6. E bit is used to indicate a CRC-4 error. The normal state is both bits set to 1; when a CRC-4 error is detected, one of the E bits
is set to 0.
7. C1 to C4 bits are used to carry the CRC-4 code.
8. Time slot 0 that contains the 0011011 sequence is defined as the FAS word. Time slot 0 that does not contain the FAS is the
Not-Word.
