Functional Description (Continued)
FA0 This command may be used on a fully activated
line to force the transmit ‘‘act’’ bit e0, to indicate
loss or denial of 2B aD transparency to the NT
(LT state J7). To revert back to sending ‘‘act’’ e1
use the AC command (with BP2 e1).
SEI S-Interface Error Indication, which should only be
used in an NT-1 when loss of received signal is
detected (i.e., INFO 0). This command forces the
upstream ‘‘act’’ bit (M41) e0.
DC*Deactivation Confirmation. This command may be
used as an alternative to PDN, to power-down the
device in response to a DI indication. It should not
be used prior to the DI indication.

Activation Indicators are coded the same as for the Activa-
tion Control Register. In Microwire mode only, at each acti-
vation status change the four significant bits in this register
are sent to the Interrupt stack. If multiple interrupt conditions
should arise simultaneously, this register has the highest
priority and will be read first.
11.4 Activation Status Indicators
DP/LSD When the TP3410 is deactivated, either powered
up or powered down, the Line Signal Detector
sets this indicator if it detects an incoming 10 kHz
wake-up tone. If the device is powered down the
LSD pin is also pulled low. In NT mode only, this
code also functions as a Deactivation Pending in-
dicator when ‘‘dea’’e0 is validated.
SYNC In LT mode only this indicates when superframe
sync is detected, and should be used to stop the
external default timer.
AP Activation Pending, which is used in NT mode to
indicate when superframe sync has been acquired
and the BCLK and FS outputs are synchronized to
the received line signal. In LT mode, the Line Sig-
nal Detector sets this indicator if it detects an in-
coming 10 kHz wake-up tone.
AI This Activation Indication code indicates that the
loop is fully activated, (‘‘act’’ e1 has been re-
ceived), and the 2BaD channels are enabled for
data transfer. In LT mode, however, if Breakpoint
Ý2 is enabled via CR2, it is necessary to respond
to AI with an AC command. This will cause the
device to set ‘‘act’’e1 in the transmit frame and
open the 2BaD channels for data transfer.
EI Loss of frame synchronization will set this Error
Indicator and inhibit the 2BaD channel data. If a
received line signal can still be detected the de-
vice will attempt to recover synchronization for up
to 480 ms; if this fails it will enter the RESET state
and generate a DI. The EI indication is also gener-
ated on an activated line if the received ‘‘act’’ bit
changes from 1 to 0, indicating loss of tranparen-
cy at the far-end.
DI The Deactivated Indication, which confirms that
the loop has been deactivated by means of a De-
activate Request at the LT, and has entered the
RESET state. DI*is effective in GCI mode only.
TIM In GCI mode only, TIM is an acknowledgment
when the device is in the power-down state and
receives a PUP command.
11.5 Cold Start and Warm Start
When power is first applied to the device, the first AR com-
mand will always initiate a cold-start sequence, which may
take up to 15 seconds for complete activation. If the device
is subsequently deactivated using the correct procedure,
and provided power is maintained uninterrupted in either the
power-up or power-down state, the next AR instruction au-
tomatically sequences through the warm-start procedure,
which normally achieves complete loop activation within
300 ms.
The device includes the specified timers of 15s, 480 ms and
40 ms at the appropriate phases of the activation and deac-
tivation sequences. For applications requiring a default time-
out other than 15s the internal timer can be disabled to
allow an external timer to be used.
11.6 LT Mode Activation/Deactivation
If activation is initiated by the downstream (NT mode) end
with the device either powered up or down, an AP Interrupt
condition will be generated on detection of the 10 kHz
‘‘wake-up’’ tone. The Activation Indication Register will
show this condition and, if the device is powered down, the
LSD pin will be pulled low.
Prior to initiating activation all registers must be pro-
grammed appropriately and the device must then be pow-
ered up. The use of the commands and status indicators is
the same whether activation is initiated locally or from the
remote end. An AR command is required to enable the de-
vice to proceed with the activation sequence. An internal
15s default timer is also started (in North America the timer
value should be 15 seconds if a single loop section is being
activated). Please see TP3410 User’s Manual for additional
information on activation and deactivation.
The sequence continues automatically until superframe syn-
chronization is acquired on the SN3 signal received from the
NT. At this point the ‘‘act’’ bit is set e1 in the downstream
direction, and the AI Interrupt is generated in the Activation
Indication Register. The loop is then fully activated, with all
channels in the data stream available for use.
If activation is not successfully completed before expiry of
the 15s timer, the device generates an EI followed by a DI
fault indication and ensures that the Activation Sequencer
returns to the Full Reset state (J10 to J1) prior to any re-
attempt to activate.
For additional control over the activation sequence, a break-
point state may be enabled at the LT. BP2 will halt the
sequence when the loop is fully synchronized, receiving
SN3, but the ‘‘act’’ bit is held e0; this state prevents the
S/T Interface from becoming fully activated (the NT1 will
maintain INFO2 towards the TEs). An AC command will re-
lease this state, allowing activation to be completed. The
BP2 bit in Register CR2 controls the enabling of this break-
point.
