31.10 Outgoing CAS Status Register (OCASSR)

Figure 31-25 shows the layout of the outgoing CAS block status register (OCASSR).

This status register contains sticky bits that give the software application an indication that the CP has

modified the associated CAS block. When the ATM receiver operates in core CAS modify mode

RCT[CCASM=1], the CP generates an interrupt and sets the appropriate sticky bit in OCASSR each time

an AAL1 cell is received with new signaling information (one or more signaling nibble has changed).

Note that this flag bit stays set until it is cleared by software. If new signaling is received and the relevant

sticky bit is already set, the CP updates the CAS block without generating another interrupt.

Table31-9 describes OCASSR fields.

0x14 0–3 ICASB/SRT
S_TMP
ICASB applies when in CAS mode. Incoming CAS Block. Points to one of the eight
available internal CAS block. The starting address of the table is
IN_CAS_BLOCK_BASE+ICASB × 32. See Section31.4.7.1, “CAS Routing Table” for
more details.
Note that the RCT and TCT use the same CAS routing table (CRT).
SRTS_TMP applies when not in CAS mode. Before a cell with SN = 1 is sent, the CP
reads the SRTS code from external SRTS logic, writes it to SRTS_TMP, and then
inserts SRTS_TMP into the next four cells with an odd SN.
4–15 SP Structured pointer. Used by the CP to calculate the structured pointer. Initialize to 0.
Structured format only.

When the CP updates this outgoing CAS block, it sets the MCASB

sticky bit and generates an
interrupt to notify the core that the signaling information has changed in block

selects the CAS block number in its RCT; see Section31.9.1.1, “AAL1 CES Protocol-Specific RCT.”
