Cells
When the RS8234 receives a PM activation cell (OAM Type = 1000, Function
Type = 0000), or when the user decides to activate PM processing on a channel,
the host (or local) processor must enable PM on the applicable channel by setting
the PM_EN bits in the RSM and SEG VCC Table entries to logic high, and
selecting an unused PM_INDEX (0-127).

PM processing operates automatically on any channel until stopped by clearing

The segmentation coprocessor generates a forward monitoring PM cell at the end
of each PM block, as defined by the BLOCK_SIZE field in the SEG_PM table
for any PM_INDEX. It determines the point to generate a forward monitoring cell
by following these processes:
The host would then initialize the corresponding SEG_PM and RSM_PM
The assigned PM_INDEX value for that channel will have to be written to
For F4 flows, each VCI channel in the VPI group must have the PM_EN bits
