Setting and Controlling the Outbound F2 Byte via the “TxPOH_n Input Port”
The Transmit SONET POH Processor block permits the user to specify the contents of the F2 byte, within the
“outbound” STS-1 SPE, via data applied to the “TxPOH_n” input pin.
The user can configure the Transmit SONET POH Processor block to accomplish this by performing the
following steps.
STEP 1 – Write the value “1” into Bit 7 (F2 Byte Insertion Type) within the “Transmit SONET Path –
SONET Control Register – Byte 0”, as depicted below.

This step configures the Transmit SONET POH Processor block to use the “TxPOH_n” input port as the
source for the F2 byte, within each “outbound” STS-1 SPE.
In this mode, the Transmit SONET POH
Processor block will accept the value, corresponding to the F2 byte (via the “TxPOH_n” input port) and it will
write this data into the F2 byte position, within the “outbound” STS-1 SPE.
STEP 2 – Begin providing the values of the “outbound” F2 byte to the “TxPOH_n” input port.
The procedure for applying the F2 byte to the “TxPOH_n” input port is presented below.
Using the “TxPOH” Input Port to insert the F2 byte value into the outbound STS-1 SPE data-stream
If the user intends to externally insert the F2 byte into the outbound STS-1 SPE, via the “TxPOH_n” input port,
then they must design some external circuitry (which can be realized in an ASIC, FPGA or CPLD solution) to
do to the following.
Continuously sample the “TxPOHEnable_n” and the “TxPOHFrame_n” output pins upon the rising edge of
the “TxPOHClk_n” output clock signal.
A simple illustration of this “external circuit” being interfaced to the “TxPOH Input Port” is presented below in
