NT-to-Network superframe delay offset from Network-to-NT superframe by 60 ± 2 quats (about 0.75 ms).
All bits than the Sync Word are scrambled.
Symbols & Abbreviations:
”1” reserve = reserved bit for future standard; set = 1
eoc embedded operations channel
a = address bit
dm = data/message indicator
i = information (data/message)
SW synchronization word
ISW inverted synchronization word
s sign bit (first) in quat
m magnitude bit (second) in quat
act activation bit
ps1, power status bits (set = 0 to indicate power
ps2 problems)
ntm NT in Test Mode bit (set = 0 to indicate test mode
cso cold-start-only bit (set = 1 to indicate cold-start-only
crc cyclic redundancy check: covers 2B+D & M4
1 = most significant bit
2 = next most significant bit
etc
febe far end block error bit (set = 0 for errored
superframe)
sai S/T interface activation indication bit.
