5.5.5.1 Standard IBS Mode

In the first or "Normal" mode, all bit assignments are per the IBS standard. The bits of Overhead
Housekeeping byte 32 are implemented as shown below:

Bit 1 - ES to ES Data Channel

This bit is routed directly to the ES to ES Data Channel.
Its data rate is 1/512th of the aggregate rate (or 1/480

th

of

the

through terrestrial data rate), and is normally used

to super-sample an asynchronous data channel.

Bit 2 -

Part of the Frame Alignment word.

Bit 3 - Backward Alarm

Transmit and Receive with main processor to activate

main alarm/LED

Bit 4 - Multiframe Message

As per IBS

Bits 5 and 6 - Spare

Not currently Utilized

Bits 7 and 8 - Encryption Utilization

Not currently Utilized

The ratio of the through terrestrial data channel rate to the aggregate rate is 15/16.

The standard transmit and receive channels of the ES to ES data channel in standard IBS mode are
raw channels operating at the specific bit rate as controlled by the data channel rate, without
buffering. Also no clocks are provided with this channel. Since it would be rare that the data rate
provided was exactly that required for a standard rate device, the only method of communicating
using this channel is to allow it to over-sample the user data. The ES to ES data channel rate
should normally then be a minimum of 3 times the desired asynchronous rate to work properly,
while 4 times the desired rate would have fewer errors.
