■The cells are passed to a line HEC framer to synchronize to the line speed.
■The T1/E1 chip adds the T1/E1 overhead and converts the digital data into a bipolar format suitable for transmission.
An 8 KHz clock is extracted from the T1/E1 clock (on all T1’s/E1s) and is used for system synchronization. The system uses this clock or other clocks to generate a stable 8 KHz clock for all other modules and interfaces.

■A fiber interface module converts the light to electrical data.
■The data is fed to a chip where the clock is recovered. The PHY chip also provides all the line functions and cell framing.
■The chip interfaces directly to the CTX, which performs address translation and output buffering.
■The data is placed in the corresponding output buffer.
On the
■Cells received from the CTX are passed directly to the transmitter. Four buffers are supported for the

■Performs ATM to physical layer mapping and adds PLCP according to UNI 3.0
■Performs peak traffic shaping on the transmit (14 bulk shapers)
The optional E3 UNI module is typically used for terminating/accessing public or private WAN services. However, depending on your local applications, you can also use this module in the port slot for taking local traffic across the WAN.
The E3 UNI module performs the following key functions:
■Performs ATM to physical layer mapping and adds PLCP according to UNI 3.0
■Performs peak traffic shaping on the transmit (14 bulk shapers)
