There is never any alternate clock source when the internal oscillator is specified as the primary clock source. ● If both the primary and alternate clock sources fail, the DCS software switches over to the internal oscillator, which becomes the source for the system clock.

Now port 2 is the new system clock; the internal oscillator is no longer part of the configuration; and port 4 remains as the alternate clock source. GatesAir Intraplex Products... - Page 19 Figure 2-1 shows a process flow of the two switchover examples to illustrate how the events during each switchover parallel each other. Although the events that trigger the switchovers (event #1) are different, a reference clock must always use the source of the requested clock to compare signals for synchronization.

Page 20: T1 Circuit Routing
Loopback Configuration The loopback configuration provides the bidirectional connection of a channel back to itself (Figure 2- 2), also known as “hairpinning.” Either a complete T1 frame can loop back or one or more selected time slots can. GatesAir Intraplex Products... -
Page 21: Pass-Through Configuration
2.3 Grooming Applications 2.3.1 Point-to-Multipoint Systems Point-to-multipoint systems are commonly used in broadcast applications for distribution of a single signal (either a complete T1 frame or selected time slots) to multiple destinations. Figure 2-4 shows a point-to-multipoint system. GatesAir Intraplex Products... -
Page 22: Interchange Configuration
When the failure is restored, the T1 signal is automatically re-routed back to the primary path. The switch back to the primary path has an added delay to prevent oscillation. Figure 2-6 shows a schematic of a point-to-point system before a failure, and Figure 2-7 shows one after a failure. GatesAir Intraplex Products... -
Page 23: Self-Healing Ring Configurations
At each of the four sites or nodes on the ring, a T1 circuit is dropped from the CrossConnect System. Selected time slots in the T1 ring can be dropped out and re- inserted at each node. GatesAir Intraplex Products... -

Notice that the traffic between sites A and B is undisturbed, still using time slot 1 in both directions between the two sites. The traffic between sites C and D, however, has been re- directed around the ring away from the failure, using previously unused time slot 13. 2-12 GatesAir Intraplex Products...

Page 28: Unidirectional Versus Counter-Rotating Rings
In either of these cases, a unidirectional ring would be limited to 24 circuits. Clearly for networks which are dominated by short runs, or for large rings with many nodes, the counter-rotating ring is very likely to provide the best bandwidth efficiency. GatesAir 2-13 Intraplex Products... - Page 29 To make the decision on which ring configuration best suits your communications requirements, first evaluate performance of the counter-rotating ring. In many cases, this ring type yields more than 24 circuits, making it the clear choice. If the counter-rotating ring cannot support 24 circuits in the 2-14 GatesAir Intraplex Products...

Normally, each DCS unit has an active bias resistor.
