CRC4 Sync Counter Bit 0. LSB of the 6-bit counter. Counter bit 1 is not
accessible.
FASSA

FAS Sync Active. Set while the synchronizer is searching for alignment at the
FAS level.
CASSA

CAS MF Sync Active. Set while the synchronizer is searching for the CAS MF
alignment word.

CRC4 MF Sync Active. Set while the synchronizer is searching for the CRC4
MF alignment word.
9.2 CRC4 Sync Counter
The CRC4 sync counter increments each time the 8ms CRC4 multiframe search times out. The counter is cleared
when the framer has successfully obtained synchronization at the CRC4 level. The counter can also be cleared by
disabling the CRC4 mode (CCR1.0 = 0). This counter is useful for determining the amount of time the framer has
been searching for synchronization at the CRC4 level. ITU G.706 suggests that if synchronization at the CRC4
level cannot be obtained within 400ms, the search should be abandoned and proper action taken. The CRC4 sync
counter rolls over.
