XCG Unit
> SCU + SXU-A + 1*QMH
> Typical use:
> Replaces SXU and SCU in a small
capacity access node

> 2048 kbit/s trunk and user interfaces

> 1+1 protected or split trunk interfaces

XCG: Limitations
> XCG cannot be protected.
> XCG cannot be used in a double subrack.
> XCG has memory of 64 kBytes, it does not support
certain units in the same node.

> Generally recommended for use in a midi subrack only

Overhead Bits in a Framed Interface

> Use of bits in time slot 0
> Time slot and bits for HDLC
X-conn:
bits transmitted transparently
Master clock RAI:
far-end clock alarm bit
HDLC link timeout:
time to wait for response
Pilot bits:
for carrying transmission alarm notification

Buffers
Transmit:

> Length set to two frames

> Synchronizing the transmitted frame
and X-bus
Receiving:

> Length 2, 4, 8 or 64 frames

> Storing incoming data
> Compensating minor speed
differences

Unit Loops

> Finding
> Faulty section of the line
> Faulty Tx/Rx direction
> Timeout controlled
> Loop can be created in different points in the unit
