The external clocking port on the ACX2200 router contains four SMB connectors that
support 10 MHz GPS and 1 pulse-per-second (PPS) signals. These signals can also be
accessed through the External Clocking Input port. These signals are internally isolated
and have surge protection. Use a Molex 50-ohm SMB connector or equivalent (not
provided) to connect to the external clocking ports.
An external clocking input port labeled
allows you to connect external clock signal sources.
The port uses an autosensing RJ-48 connector to support framed T1 or E1 signals. Two
LEDs indicate link activity on the port and function in the same way as the T1/E1 ports.
The clocking information is extracted from the input, but the data is discarded.
Table 27 on page 59
provides the pinout information for the RJ-48 connector for the
external clocking input port.
