13.2 Path Code Violation Count Register (PCVCR)

T1 Operation

The path-code violation-count register records either Ft, Fs, or CRC6 errors in T1 frames. When the receive side of a framer is set to operate in the T1 ESF framing mode, PCVCR will record errors in the CRC6 code words. When set to operate in the T1 D4 framing mode, PCVCR will count errors in the Ft framing bit position. Via the ERCNT.2 bit, a framer can be programmed to also report errors in the Fs framing bit position. The PCVCR will be disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS = 1) conditions. See Table 15-3 for a detailed description of exactly what errors the PCVCR counts.

E1 Operation

The PCVCR records CRC4 errors. Since the maximum CRC4 count in a one-second period is 1000, this counter cannot saturate. The counter is disabled during loss of sync at either the FAS or CRC4 level; it will continue to count if loss of multiframe sync occurs at the CAS level.

The PCVCR1 is the most significant word and PCVCR2 is the least significant word of a 16-bit counter that records path violations (PVs).
