1.3.1 BitHandlingCapability
As shipped, Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexers transparently pass all T1 or E1 bits regardless of
◦ user framing as
− D4
− Extended Superframe (ESF)
◦ user encoding as
− AMI
− B8ZS
− HDB3
However, user encoding is helpful for generating meaningful bipolar variation (BPV) data.
Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexers are factory preset to the B8ZS encoding for T1, though easily
changed to another encoding scheme, and are preset as master or slave for timing.
NOTE: To receive the highest level of performance from these units, the user should
understand
◦ clock recovery timing.
◦ packet/frame loss concepts.
◦ delay and latency.
◦ jitter.
