Reading this register returns the current bit value of the International and
National bits collected over 2 consecutive frames. The Si[1] bit position
corresponds to the value contained in the International bit position in the FAS
frame; the Si[0], RAWRA, and Sn[4:8] bit positions correspond to the values
contained in the International, Remote Alarm Indication, and National bit
positions in the NFAS frame. This register is updated after time slot 0 of every
NFAS frame and the contents are valid for 2 frames (250µs). The contents of this
register are latched during the read, however the individual bits should not be
considered to constitute a byte value (i.e. the 5 national bits should not be
considered as indicating 1 of 32 possible values since it is possible that the
individual bits are not all from the same time instant due to the asynchronous
nature of the microprocessor reads). If the bits are to be interpreted as binary
values, care should be taken to ensure a coherent set of bit values by reading
the register at least twice.
The Si0, RAWRA and Sn[4:8] bits map to the timeslot 0 NFAS as follows:
