— BPV is an indication of a coding error in the received bit stream.
BPV indicates local span performance.
— CRC, applicable only with extended superframe format (ESF), is an
indication of one or more bit errors in a block of bits from the
received bit stream. CRC indicates performance on an end-to-end
span.
Channel framing identifies the location of time slot one. The signaling
frame identifies those frames in which two signaling states, A and B, are
transmitted on a time-shared basis. Table 2-2 shows the assignment of
the F-bit, A-bit, and B-bit; the most significant bit is defined as bit one
and the least significant bit as bit eight.

The superframe format is consistent with channel bank formats D2, D3,
and D4. The signaling bit is time-shared to identify the channel and the
signaling frame. The framing pattern is the repeated sequence
100011011100. The superframe format is supported on both types of
DS-1 cards (6X50AA and 6X50AB).
