The Block Interrupt Enable Register permits the user to individually enable or disable the interrupt requesting capability of
each of the “interrupt blocks” within the Framer. If a particular bit-field, within this register contains the value “0”; then the
corresponding functional block has been disabled from generating any interrupt requests.
The procedures for configuring, enabling and servicing interrupts for each of these hierarchical levels is discussed below.
3.6.1
Configuring the Interrupt System, at the Framer Level
The XRT86VL38 Framer IC permits the user to enable or disable each of the four Framers for interrupt generation. Further,
the chip permits the user to make the following configuration selection.
1.
Whether the "source-level" Interrupt Status bits are "Reset-upon-Read" or "Write-to-Clear".
2.
Whether or not an "activated interrupt" is automatically cleared.
3.6.1.1
Enabling/Disabling the Framer for Interrupt Generation
Each of the four Framers of the XRT86VL38 Framer can be enabled or disabled for interrupt generation. This selection is
made by writing the appropriate “0” or “1” to bit 0 (INTRUP_EN) of the “Interrupt Control Register” corresponding to that
framer, (see Table 181.)

Alarm & Error Block Interrupt Enable
This READ/WRITE bit permits the user to either enable or disable
the Alarm & Error Block for interrupt generation.
If the user writes a “0” to this register bit and disables the Alarm &
Error Block for interrupt generation, then all Alarm & Error interrupts
will be disabled for interrupt generation.
If the user writes a “1” to this register bit, the Alarm & Error Block
interrupt at the “Block Level” will be enabled. However, the individual
Alarm & Error interrupts at the “Source Level” still need to be
enabled in order to generate that particular interrupt to the interrupt
pin.
0 - Setting this bit to ‘0’ will disable all Alarm & Error Block interrupt
within the device.
1 - Setting this bit to ‘1’ will enable the Alarm & Error interrupt at the
“Block-Level”.

T1/E1 Framer Block Enable
This READ/WRITE bit permits the user to either enable or disable
the T1/E1 Framer Block for interrupt generation.
If the user writes a “0” to this register bit and disables the T1/E1
Framer Block for interrupt generation, then all T1/E1 Framer inter-
rupts will be disabled for interrupt generation.
If the user writes a “1” to this register bit, the T1/E1 Framer Block
interrupt at the “Block Level” will be enabled. However, the individual
T1/E1 Framer interrupts at the “Source Level” still need to be
enabled in order to generate that particular interrupt to the interrupt
pin.
0 - Setting this bit to ‘0’ will disable all T1/E1 Framer Block interrupt
within the device.
1 - Setting this bit to ‘1’ will enable the T1/E1 Framer interrupt at the
“Block-Level”.
