(3) Pointer processing
The H1 and H2 bytes are extracted from the descrambled receive frame and the following processing is
performed:
<1> Extraction of pointer value
<2> Frequency justification operation (Positive frequency justification, Negative frequency justification)
<3> Monitoring of pointer synchronization status

NDF:
New Data Flags. These flags enable or disable changing of the pointer value.
• NDF Enable = Requests changing of the pointer value
If three bits or more of the four bits coincide with 1001 (1001, 1000, 1011, 1101, 0001)
• NDF Disable = Does not request changing of the pointer value
If three bits or more of the four bits coincide with 0110 (0010, 0110, 0100, 0111, 1110)
SS bit:
Indicate the type of SPE.
Pointer: Indicates the position of first byte J1 of POH and requests Frequency Justification (stuff
operation).
I (Increment bit):
D (Decrement bit): Requests Negative Justification operation.
Concatenation indication: Indicates concatenation.
