Welcome to the NComm support portal for PMC-Sierra framer users. You have made a great first step in solving your challenge to engineer a high quality Wide Area Network interface in your product offering. You can find the same framers in the world's finest talecom equipment from the finest manufacturers.

Now that you have those hardware decisions made, you now have to deal with the software that surrounds it. This is where you will make or break standard compliant overhead functionality found in:

• Valid network configuration
• Alarm determination and response
• Performance data collection
• Proper transmission and response over the control links
• Loop backs
• Channel Associated Signaling including bit freezing

These not only have to be done, but accomplished in such a way as to be able to talk to far end equipment made by one of dozens of potential manufacturers. You have to get it right.

NComm offers a solution that will not only ensure standard compliance, but also get you to market more quickly and with lower development expense. Our architecture will give you more flexibility in future hardware choices. The TMS APIs will permit more reuse of our own valuable code than ever before.
