destination accurately. Packet networks do not provide such built-in timing
transparency mechanism as TDM networks do. AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A uses its
proprietary algorithm to reconstruct the E1 clock at the destination. The recovered
clock is of very high quality, with low jitter and wander. Typical frequency offset is
within
±
5ppm, and jitter is below 0.1UI. It can be adopted in most applications. This
timing mode of rebuilding the E1 clock at the destination is called Adaptive Timing.
For applications where separate clock distribution network exists, another
timing mode, Loop back Timing, may be used for maximum clock quality. In this
mode, AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A rebuilds the E1/T1 output code stream using the
clock extracted from E1/T1 input signals. AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A built-in memory
can eliminate the wander completely. It will switch to Adaptive Timing automatically
once the input signals are lost.
The two timing modes of AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A are showed in Fig.1.4-1.

Correct timing mode setting is important for smooth operations. In most cases,
setting both units to adaptive timing mode is sufficient. But sometimes, setting one
unit to loop timing mode may work better. For example, setting the
AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A unit connected with the clock master (such as local
exchange) to loop back mode, and the other unit connected with the clock slave
(such as PBX remote module or PCM terminal) to adaptive mode, is probably
better than setting both to adaptive modes. It’s better to set the both sides
AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A to loop back timing mode when the both sides equipments
use synchronous master clock. In another case, set the both sides
AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A to adaptive timing mode when the both sides equipments
use asynchronous master clock.
One typical error in telecom applications is to connect two communication
devices that are both clock slaves. Neither will AN-TDM-IP-1E1/2E1-A support
such operation no matter how the timing modes are set.
Note: The Lock Clock usually takes several minutes to stabilize. During
that period, clock drift may exceed the limit, errors and slips may occur.
