Routing; Keepalive/Clocking Implications - Vocality V200 User Manual

Vocality User Manual
User Manual for V200
Valid for V08_08.02 or V08_48.02
On both units, the clock reference is set on the Clocking menu, selecting the
appropriate settings:
GC1 SOURCE TYPE: 'IP Agg'

GC1 SOURCE CLOCK: 'ToNode1'

If a reference is available which is already driving GC1 or GC2, then the master end will
have 'TX CLOCK' set as 'GC1' or 'GC2' accordingly.

5.13.3 Routing

You will need to ensure the unit has a route to the peer address configured.
You will then need to enter a route in the Routing menu, so that tributaries can be
directed down the IP aggregate: the IP aggregate does not fully exist until a Vocality
route is defined which uses it.
Go to the Routing menu and select the nodes/slots/channels to route over the IP
aggregate. Use 'IP' as the 'Agg' value and the IP aggregate description as the 'Connect
Using' value, to match the IP aggregate configured above. The description must be
identical to that used in the IP Aggregate configuration page.
The following figure shows a single route configured to use an IP aggregate whose
description is 'ToNode1'.
If you are using the M&C or console port, rather than the web interface, you will be able
to tell that the aggregate IP connection is active when the 'Agg Status' (top left of the
Routing menu) displays 'Agg Status ToNode1 up'.

5.13.4 Keepalive/Clocking implications

Clock reference update packets are sent across the IP aggregate every 10 seconds. If an
IP aggregate does not see one of these clocking update packets for 30 seconds the IP
aggregate is declared as inactive/down.
