ISDN System Settings

Parameter

Sync Source 2

 

 

Description

Determines the source of clocking for the second sync source. The

 

second sync source is used if the first sync source fails. The system

 

will attempt to switch from the second source back to the first

 

source based on the value entered under “Network Re-sync Timer”

 

(page 4-7).

 

If the second source fails and the first source is not working, the

 

system will switch to the third source.

 

In most cases, a system with one ISDN has the 2nd sync source set

 

to “3.” Systems with two Signs normally have the 2nd sync source

 

set to “2.” See page 3-5for a list of typical sync source settings for

 

single and double-cabinet systems.

 

One of the three sync sources should be set to “3” (free run). A

 

free-run setting is needed, so the DBS ISDN can provide its own

 

clocking if the network clock fails.

 

(See “1st sync” for an introduction to clock synchronization.)

 

Notes:

 

1. The “free run” setting is the only setting that can be entered for

 

more than one sync source.

 

2. For changes to this parameter to take effect, the system must be

 

powered down, then back up again.
