Page 29
Chapter 1 Product Overview System Architecture You can provision the SSU-2000 to automatically select the highest-quality input signal, or you can manually select the input signal you want to use. Two factors determine the quality of the input: the user-defined Priority level, and the PQL/ SSM.
Page 30
Priority setting; if all inputs have the same Priority level, then the input with the highest PQL (quality level, SSM) is used. If you select PQL mode, the SSU-2000 selects the input reference with the highest assigned PQL level or associated SSM; if all inputs have the same PQL/SSM value, then the input with the highest Priority levels is used.
(one that is free from input faults while meeting acceptable frequency and MTIE specifications). The SSU-2000 controls clock frequency by adjusting the control value of the Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) function in each Clock module. The adjustments are processor-controlled and based on measurements performed and computed in the Input module(s).
The Communications module provides an interface between the user and the SSU-2000 system. This interface allows the user to display and control much of the activity in the SSU-2000 system and within the optional SDU-2000 expansion system.
Page 33
The REPORT mode option is used to report alarm indications only. An ALARM command is available in the SSU-2000 that allows a user to view the current status of alarm indications on the unit and set alarm delay intervals and activation levels.
LEDs on the front panel of modules. Fail Mode In the FAIL mode, the SSU-2000 removes the failed module from service or usability to prevent interruption of the system.

Configuring a Monitor-Only System In a monitor-only configuration, no output signals are required. One of the inputs is designated as the reference, and the SSU-2000 Clock module is locked directly to this signal. All remaining input signals are then compared to the phase-locked oscillators (and indirectly to the designated input reference).
One-Port Input Modules Configuring a Subtending SSU The SSU-2000 configured as a Subtending Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU) provides remote phase synchronization and holdover capabilities to telecom network elements, such as digital switches, Digital Access Crossover Systems (DACS), and channel banks for customers with very large equipment offices.
Subtending SSU configuration. Functional Description The SSU-2000 configured as a Subtending SSU broadens the Symmetricom SSU-2000 family of products by providing subtending clock functionality when referenced to a master TSG/BITS equipped with a Stratum 3E or better clock. The following combination of hardware and software configuration meets Subtending SSU criteria described in Section 7 of Telcordia Specification GR-378-CORE.

A valid CC/JCC input is required when starting the Subtending mode in order to align the phase of the CC/JCC outputs. Note: When provisioning the SSU-2000 to phase align Composite Clock Outputs (CC, JCC, or JCC4) to Composite Clock Inputs (CC, JCC, or JCC4) you can instruct the SSU to transition or change modes of operation (Normal, Subtending, Japanese Subtending).
Japanese Composite Clock (JCC) Other typical clock frequencies Setting Subtending Parameters The SSU-2000 software includes the following new command that allows you to enable and disable the Subtending mode. For additional information on general syntax and usage, refer to the SSU-2000 Technical Reference.
Changing to Subtending SSU Mode To change an SSU-2000 to a Subtending SSU, you must verify that the proper hardware is present, and you must install the appropriate software. The minimum software versions for the modules is listed in Table 9-1.
