Table30-21. TCT Field Descriptions
Offset Bits Name Description
0x00 0–1 Reserved, should be cleared.
2 GBL Global. Asserting GBL enables snooping of data buffers, BDs, interrupt queues and free
buffer pool.
3–4 BO Byte ordering. This field is used for data buffers.
00 Reserved
01 Power PC little endian
1x Big endian
5 Reserved, should be cleared.
6 DTB Data buffer bus
0 Reside on the 60x bus.
1 Reside on the local bus.
7 BIB BD, interrupt queue and external SRTS logic bus
0 Reside on the 60xbus.
1 Reside on the local bus.
Note:When using AAL5, AAL1 CES in UDC mode, BDs and data should be placed on
the same bus (TCT[DTB]=TCT[BIB]).
8 AVCF Auto VC off. Determines the behavior of the APC when the last buffer associated with
this VC has been sent and no more ready buffers are in the VC’s TxBD table.
0 The APC does not remove this VC from the schedule table and continues to schedule
it to transmit.
1 The APC removes this VC from the schedule table. To continue transmission after the
host adds buffers for transmission, a new ATM TRANSMIT command is needed, which
can be issued only after the CP clears TCT[VCON].
Note:When over-subscribing UBR or UBR+ channels, set AVCF so that the CPM does
not become overloaded polling non-active VCs.
9 Reserved, should be cleared.
10–11 ATT ATM traffic type
00 Peak cell-rate pacing. The host must initialize PCR and the PCR fraction. Other
traffic parameters are not used.
01 Peak and sustain cell rate pacing (VBR traffic). The APC performs a
continuous-state leaky bucket algorithm (GCRA) to pace the channel-sustain cell
rate. The host must initialize PCR, PCR fraction, SCR, SCR fraction, and BT (burst
tolerance).
10 Peak and minimum cell rate pacing (UBR+ traffic). The host must initialize PCR,
PCR fraction, MCR, MCR fraction, and MDA.
11 Reserved
12 CPUU CPCS-UU+CPI insertion (used for AAL5 only).
0 CPCS-UU+CPI insertion disabled. The transmitter clears the CPCS-UU+CPI fields.
1 CPCS-UU+CPI insertion enabled. The transmitter reads the CPCS-UU+CPI (16-bit
entry) from external memory. It should be placed after the end of the last buffer (it
should not be included in the buffer length).
13 VCON Virtual channel is on.
Should be set by the host before it issues an ATM TRANSMIT command. When the host
sets TCT[STPT] (stop transmit), the CP deactivates this channel and clears VCON
when the channel is next encountered in the APC scheduling table. The host can issue
another ATM TRANSMIT command only after the CP clears VCON.
14–15 INTQ Points to one of four interrupt queues available.
