Accordingly, to allow proper de-capsulation of ATM/TDM traffic, ACE-3105, ACE-3205 has a mechanism that fixes this condition by re-ordering the received packets correctly. You can enable or disable the ordering mechanism, and also set the 'number of packets' window (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 packets) in which ACE-3105, ACE-3205 will try to fix erroneous packet sequences (misorders).

    This appendix explains the different clock modes (system timing) supported by ACE-3105, ACE-3205. Overview The ACE-3105, ACE-3205 internal clock mechanism supports the synchronization (frequency lock) of all ports to a single clock source, which serves as the unit's system clock.
  • Page 374 Appendix D Clock Modes Installation and Operation Manual Accordingly, the ACE-3105, ACE-3205 clock mechanism assigns an available clock (master or fallback) as the system clock. In the non-reversible mode, however, the fallback clock continues to be the system clock even if the master clock becomes available.
  • Page 375 • Internal – the transmit clock is provided by an internal oscillator, which is an independent clock in the ACE-3105, ACE-3205 device. The accuracy of the oscillator is +/-?? for DSL ports, and +/-50ppm for E1/T1 ports. • Loopback – the transmit clock is retrieved from a specific port's incoming (RX) data.
