and secondary references also apply to these references.
For System 85 and Generic 2, all functions previously performed by SCS synchronization software are
now provided external to the switch — by the external clock. Furthermore, the switch does not know
which reference (1 or 2) is online nor can the switch change from one reference to the other. phil/figb-7

3. The TN492C or external alarm interface and TN2131 apply only to System\85 and Generic\02.
4. When the external clock is used, the SCS must not be administered. Those SCS software functions are done by
the hardware and firmware within the external clock.
1. The external clock cabinet has one 50-pin connector. It is labeled EXT CLOCK OUTPUT.
One B75A cable is required for connecting the cabinet to the cross-connect field.
2. Refer to the appropriate installation manual or wiring guide for details on how to configure the cross-connections.

The external clock is designed to provide stratum-3 reliability and exists in a duplex version. This version
provides hot standby capability (the ability to pull out circuit packs with power on) to the alternate clock
and may be used with a switch containing a single module or TMS control or a duplicate module or TMS
control. Figure B-8, External Clock, shows a functional diagram of the external clock.
