Encoded HDB3 Signal Bit Stream Framer Circuitry Line Interface Unit Transformer Configure the NAC framer to respond or ignore the loop-up/loop-down pattern from the Telco. Menu Option 4 Configuring the span line’s jitter attenuation Jitter attenuation on the span line enhances the network interface card (NIC) tolerance to jitter. The NIC’s hardware provides a 193-bit frame buffer to compensate for low frequency jitter on
