3.10 HSS Interface
NPE A has an integrated High-Speed Serial (HSS) module, whose primary function is to
provide connectivity between the internal NPE A and the external HSS interface. There
are two HSS ports that can directly interface to SLIC/CODEC devices for voice
applications, or serial DSL framers. The HSS ports are software configurable to support
various serial protocols, such as T1/ E1/J1, and MVIP. For a list of supported protocols,
see the Intel
