UMOD hardware theory of operation 3–51
The optional internal framing unit (IFU) daughtercard connects
between the terrestrial data interface daughtercard (either a DIM
or a GIM) and the UMOD. In open-network configurations, the
IFU provides a single- or dual-bearer drop-and-insert multiplexer;
and framing and buffering support for the following Intelsat and
Eutelsat services:
•
Intelsat Intermediate Data Rate (IDR) service
•
Intelsat Business Service (IBS)
•
Eutelsat Satellite Multi-Services (SMS)
The IFU buffers received data for plesiochronous operation or to
negate Doppler-related timing problems caused by satellite
motion; supports Engineering Service Channel (ESC) supervisory
overhead; and provides backward alarm functions. Please note that
IDR specifications define a
SMALL IDR
mode, which employs
IBS–style framing. These
SMALL IDR
modes are invoked by
selecting
IBS
mode for the UMOD.
In the IDR mode, transmit data enters the IFU through a DIM or a
GIM, the ESC data is added, increasing the data rate by 96 kbps,
this is then output to the UMOD motherboard for modulation (see
figure 3-30).

In the receive direction, data enters the IFU from the UMOD
motherboard. The supervisory information added at the transmit
end of the link is removed, and the original data recovered. This
