The MX104 router contains an external building-integrated timing supply (BITS) port
labeled
EXT REF CLOCK
on the front panel of the router.
To connect the router to a BITS T1 or E1 external clocking device:
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding trap on your bare wrist, and connect
1.
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable into the internal clock port on the craft interface.
2.
Plug the other end of the RJ-45 cable into the T1 or E1 external clocking device.
3.
Verify that the LEDs for the external clock input are lit steadily green.
4.
Configure the port. See Configuring Clock Synchronization Interface on MX Series Routers.
