RE: what is a "valid SOH"?
HI all
I'm not so sure about that dictionary look-up!
In SONET/SDH world, (as I assume that this concerns, since Moore is talking
about the WIS (WAN Interface Sublayer) assembling 10GE into SONET frames)
the SOH controls the interaction between regenerator / line sections.
SOH means Section OverHead, (and can be subdivided into a regenerator and a
multiplex SOH).
You need to generate a valid SOH frame (ie. 192 bytes of A1 and A2 and the
other stuff + payload). Whether you want to check them in the RX is your own
choice. I don't think you need to check the validity of the received SOH,
if you just ensure that you can detect the AIS

I am working on the AIS-L detection logic of a WIS module. Clause
50.3.9.1.5 states "The AIS-L functionality implemented by the WIS is
described in 50.3.2.5 and defined fully in Section 7.4.1 of ANSI
T1.416-1999."
ANSI T1.416-1999 states "Line AIS is a STS-N(c) signal containing a
valid SOH with bits 6,7 and 8 of the K2 byte set to 111, and a scrambled
all-ones pattern for the remainder of the signal"
My question is what consistutes a "valid SOH" for a WIS frame. Do I need
to verify 192 A1s followed by 192 A2s or do I just verify that the sync
point happened correctly (ie A1/A2 at byte 192/193). Do I need to verify
that the Z0s are all 0xcc? Do I need to check that all of the unused
bytes are 0x00?
I guess AIS-L doesn't seem so fully defined to me :)
