Synchronization Plan
This screen assigns primary and secondary external synchronization sources. This provides synchronization
between the switch and digital facilities that the switch is connected to. When the switch is connected to digital
facilities, the switch (both Processor Cabinets and Expansion Cabinets) must be synchronized to the incoming
data rate of 8,000 frames-per-second. This timing information reference may be derived from DS1 facilities or
from a Stratum 3 external clock. Loss of the reference signal, excessive phase changes, and variation in timing
frequency can cause loss of data or dropped data connections. When no external digital facilities, including
Stratum 3 external clocks, are present or when a switch is the "master" node of a network providing timing to the
rest of the network, the timing can come from an oscillator on the switch’s tone/clock circuit pack.
The Synchronization Plan may not be required for some digital connections. The switch’s internal clock may
suffice.
