Configuring the clock source
The T1 FrameLine slot card uses the same system-wide PLL synchronous clock source for
DS1 transmission as do the eight-port T1 and E1 cards. Any of the lines can serve as the clock
source for the unit. To configure the T1 FrameLine card’s clock source, use the same
parameters (Clock-Source and Clock-Priority) that you use for other cards.
All 10 lines must use the same clock source. Clocking on a per-line basis is not supported. The
clock source can be one of the 10 lines, or a line on another slot card, or it can be internally
generated from the primary shelf controller. Using the internal clock is not recommended. For
more information about configuring the clock source, see “Configuring clocking” on
page 7-17.
In addition, if the system clock source is from one of the 10 lines, it affects the timing on the
Time-division multiplexing (TDM) backplane, because TDM timing is based on the clock
source. This relationship exists even though the T1 FrameLine card does not use the TDM
backplane.
