10.6.5 CAS Handler
10.6.5.1 CAS Handler, TDM-to-Ethernet Direction
In the TDM-to-Ethernet direction, the CAS handler receives the CAS bits (for structured-with-CAS AAL1 or
CESoPSN bundles) on the TDMn_RSIG_RTS signal. Depending on the value of the per-bundle
Tx_CAS_sourcecorresponding TDMn_RSIG_RTS signal or the values from the transmit SW CAS tables (section
11.4.9) into the
AAL1 or CESoPSN packets, in order to deliver the signaling as part of the AAL1 or CESoPSN payload packets.
The transmit SW CAS tables may contain conditioning bits set by CPU software during configuration (per timeslot).
If CAS bits received on the TDMn_RSIG_RTS signal change, a per-timeslot maskable interrupt is asserted. The
Tx_CAS_change registers in the Error! Reference source not found. indicate which timeslots have changed CAS bits. The
Tx_CAS_change_mask registers are available to selectively mask these interrupts. Upon notification that
CAS bits have changed, the CPU can read the CAS bits directly from the framer’s receive signaling registers
(RS1to
RS16), alter them if needed, and write them into the TDMoP block’s transmit SW CAS tables.

There is a transmit SW CAS table for each TDM port. Each table consists of 4 rows, and each row contains the
CAS bits of eight timeslots. For ports configured for E1, timeslots 1–15 and 17–31 are used and timeslots 0 and 16
are meaningless. For ports configured for T1, timeslots 0–23 are used and timeslots 24–31 are meaningless. Ports
configured for T1 SF have two copies of A and B CAS bits arranged A, B, A, B. Other port types have one copy of
