Nortel Networks 311 Reference Clock Selection

Functional description 919
•minimizes the propagation of impairments on the system clock due to
errors on the primary or secondary reference clocks
The microprocessor does the following:
•communicates with software
•monitors 2 references
•provides a self-test during initialization
•minimizes the propagation of impairments on the system clock due to
errors on the primary or secondary reference clocks

Reference Clock Selection
The DTI/PRI card routes its reference to the appropriate line on the
backplane. The clock controller distributes the primary and secondary
references and ensures that no contention is present on the REFCLK1
backplane line. It designates the DTI/PRI motherboard as a pr imary
reference source. The secondary reference is obtained from another
DTI/PRI card, which is designated by a technician. No other clock sources
are used.
