Every fourth timeslot received by the HSS is discarded, meaning it is not loaded into
the FIFO and is therefore not sent to the NPE.
The HSS Interface can transmit all zeros/ones (HSS programmable) for the duration of
the unassigned timeslots.
Received unassigned timeslots are not sent to the NPE as they are discarded by the
HSS.
Another method of sending a T1 line over an E1 line called frame mapping is illustrated
in Figure 91. This method groups the 24 timeslots together and places unassigned
timeslots towards the end of the frame. The FBit is located at the last bit of the 32nd
timeslot, the HSS will not treat this timeslot any differently to other timeslots, it is up
the software to detect the FBit. The NPE can select which method it desires to use.
