ATM
|
|
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a high-speed network technology that uses fiber optic or CAT-5 copper cables. It can carry the three different types of traffic: audio, video and data. It transmits cells rather than frames. A cell is fixed packet that is 53 octets long. Physically it is a point-to-point switched network. The basic ATM runs at 155 Mbps. Some implementations can run as high as 660 Mbps. The basic desktop standard runs at 25 Mbps.

Of the 24 frame bits available, 6 are dedicated to frame alignment, 12 are used as a 4 kbps data link, and 6 are used to transmit a cyclic redundancy check code (CRC-6) for payload block error detection. The data link can be used to send performance statistics, alarm status, and loopback test commands.

Line Code:
|
|
Line code (or encoding formats) refers to the methods used to represent the zeros and ones of digital systems for transmission. The zeros and ones are transmitted as two different voltage levels. A zero is a space, and a one is a mark.
|
| |

|
|
|

AMI
|
|
Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) is a line code that conveys binary digits in which successive binary ones are represented by signal pulses that alternate in positive and negative polarity. Binary zeros are represented by the absence of a pulse. The terms Bipolar and Pseudo-ternary are also used to describe AMI.
|
| |
B3ZS
|
|
Bipolar with three-Zero Substitution (B3ZS) is a line coding technique that uses bipolar violations to substitute for three consecutive zeros.
|
| |
B7ZS
|
|
Bipolar with seven-Zero Substitution (B7ZS) is a line coding technique. If there are more than seven consecutive zeros in the transmission, one of them is replaced with a "one."
|
| |
B8ZS
|
|
Bipolar with Eight Zero Substitution (B8ZS) is an AMI line code that uses a unique code to replace occurrences of eight consecutive zero signal elements. Each block of eight successive zeros is replaced by the code 000VB0VB, where V represents a pulse that is a bipolar violation and B represents a pulse conforming to the AMI rule. The use of B8ZS on a circuit provides clear channel operation without any restrictions on data content.
|
| |
HDB3
|
|
High-density Bipolar-3 zeros (HDB3) is a line code commonly used in Europe and Japan that is based on the AMI coding. In this case a string of four consecutive zeros is replaced with sequences containing one or two pulses. In each case, the fourth zero is replaced with a code violation. In addition, successive violations are of alternate polarity.

The V.35 interface was originally specified by Comité Consultatif International Téléphonique et Télégraphique (CCITT), now known as ITU, as an interface for 48 kbps line transmissions. It has been adopted for all line speeds above 20 kbps, and seems to have acquired a life of its own. It was discontinued by CCITT in 1988, and replaced by recommendations V.10 and V.11. V.35 is a mixture of balanced (like RS422) and common earth (like RS232) signal interfaces.
