External Clock Sources:
The IGX switch synchronizes to the nearest, highest-stratm clock available.
Any T1, E1, T3, E3, OC3 (STM-1) line, trunk, or optional external clock
inputs can serve a clock source.
Internal to Node Source:
T1: 1.544 MHz,
±
10 ppm (stratm 4)
E1: 2.048 MHz,
±
10 ppm (stratm 4)
Clocking Hierarchy:
Dynamic primary, secondary, and tertiary clocking
Without a defined external clock reference, the IGX defaults to its internal
clock source.
