Figure D-1. E1 or T1 service configuration External clock requirements WINLink 1000 system assumes that all external equipments connected to a single site use the same transmit clock.
  • Page 93 • Each line state change in the selected trunk re-triggers a new clock selection according the above rules. If the selected trunk is in Los of Signal state, the WINLink 1000 uses its internal clock. There are two methods to configure the user equipment.
  • Page 94 Example 2 Trunk 1 is disconnected and trunk 2 is in normal condition. WINLink 1000 shall select trunk 2 for clock timing. Since trunk 1 is disconnected it uses an internal clock as an input clock. The OUT clock of both trunks is the re-generated clock IN 2, and therefore WINLink 1000 shall display error blocks on clock 1 (represents the clock difference between the internal clock and the IN 2 clock).
