VISM and VISM-PR Card Clocking Options
An MGX 8000 Series platform, consisting of PXM and VISM cards, should have one primary clocking
source. To avoid conflicts and to ensure proper operation, it is important that the settings for clocking
options in both card types are considered together. You must use one of the following primary clocking
source options, which are supported by the VISM/PXM interface:
• PXM1, PXM1E, and PXM45 cards—Provides clocking for all VISM cards in the chassis.
• A VISM card—Provides clocking for the PXM1, which then provides clocking to the entire chassis.
• A VISM-PR card—Provides clocking for the PXM1E or PXM45 card, which then provides clocking
to the entire chassis.
PXM1 Card as Primary Clocking Source
Figure A-1 shows the PXM card primary clocking source option in which the clock source originates at
the PXM side of the VISM/PXM interface.
