1.1.1 Introduction to Clock Monitoring Module
Clock monitoring module is responsible for providing highly-precise, highly-reliable
SDH (synchronous digital hierarchy) line interface 38.88 MHz clock signals for different
service interface cards. It implements such functions as input clock source automatic
selection, software phase-lock, and real-time monitoring of the clock status of the
interface card.
Currently, the clock monitoring module supports 18 reference clock sources (referred to
as reference source hereafter), among which the first and the second are Bits clock
sources and others are line clock sources. Each reference source corresponds to a slot.
The specific relationship is decided by device hardware. The following figure shows the
reference-slot relationship of the S9500 series switches:
