Scrambling
IDR Mode, no RS, - per ITU V.35 (Intelsat variant)
IBS mode, no RS - per IESS-309, externally frame synchronized
Transparent Closed Network mode, no RS or Turbo coding - per ITU V.35 (Intelsat variant)
EDMAC mode, no RS coding - externally frame synchronized - proprietary
Turbo Product Code/LDPC/VersaFEC modes - externally frame synchronized - proprietary
All RS modes - externally frame synchronized per IESS-308/309/310
All VersaFEC
®
, VersaFEC-2
®
modes use IESS-315/V.35
All DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® modes, regardless of FEC type, use IESS-315/V.35
External Reference
