SATURN USER NETWORK INTERFACE FOR 2488 MBIT/S
IBER
The inband error reporting (IBER) bit controls the inband regeneration of the path status (G1)
byte. When IBER is set to logic 1, the path status byte is updated with the REI-P and the
ERDI-P defects that must be returned to the far end. When IBER is set to logic 0, the path
status byte is not altered.
This bit is only valid for RHPP STS-1/STM0 #1. When operating as the protect mate, this bit
should be set to logic 1.
IPREIBLK
The inband path REI block errors (IPREIBLK) bit controls the regeneration of the path REI
errors in the path status (G1) byte. When IPREIBLK is set to logic 1, the path REI is updated
with block BIP-8 errors (a maximum of 1 error per frame). When IPREIBLK is set to logic 0,
the path REI is updated with BIP-8 errors (a maximum of 8 errors per frame).
This bit is only valid for RHPP STS-1/STM0 #1.
B3EONRPOH
The B3E On RPOH bit controls whether the normal B3 output on RPOH should be replaced
by the BIP-8 Error byte. When set to logic zero, B3 is output normally. When set to logic
one, B3 in replaced by the BIP-8 error code.
This bit is only valid for RHPP STS-1/STM0 #1.
