can provision any of the clock inputs as a primary, secondary, or tertiary timing
source. If you identify more than one timing reference, the additional references
provide protection. A slow-reference tracking loop allows the TCC-I to
synchronize to the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the reference is
lost.
Timing Parameters
You must set the SDH timing parameters for each ONS 15454 SDH. ONS 15454
SDH timing is set to one of three modes: external, line, or mixed.
Each ONS 15454 SDH independently accepts its timing reference from one of
three sources: the timing connectors on the MIC-C/T/P FMEC, an STM-N card
that receives timing through a BITS source, or the internal Stratum 3E clock on
the TCC-I card.
Note CTC software refers to Timing A and Timing B as BITS 1 and BITS
2.
If timing is coming from the MIC-C/T/P FMEC timing connector, set ONS 15454
SDH timing to external. If the timing comes from an STM-N card, set the timing
to line. An externally timed node derives its timing from a BITS source connected
to the Timing A and Timing B connectors on the MIC-C/T/P FMEC. The BITS
source, in turn, derives its timing from a primary reference source (PRS) such as
a Stratum 1 clock or global positioning satellite (GPS) signal. A line-timed node
derives its timing from an incoming optical signal on one of the STM-N cards.
Figure 25 on page 47 shows an example of an ONS 15454 SDH network-timing
setup. Node 1 is set to external timing. Two references are set to BITS, and the third
reference is set to internal. The Timing Out B connector on the FMEC of Node 3
provides timing to outside equipment, such as a digital access line access multiplexer.
