Transition Networks
4. Clocking
From the Web GUI, the Clocking configuration can be found in Configuration > CES > Clock Priorities.
For any synchronous-based system, it is important that the devices follow a common clock
reference. Typically, a DCE device or network provides clock for a DTE device to use. The Contra
Converter can be configured to clock from its G.703 port, its Logical Link, or use its own internal
reference.
Contra Converter is able to dynamically switch between clock sources as they are made available.
The priority window allows a priority to be set against each clock source. The highest available
priority value is 0, while the lowest is 19. Assign values to the sources which will be used; the unused
ports can be left set at 19.
Note that by default, the Internal source is set to 0 (highest priority).
From the CLI, the commands needed to set up the clocking priorities are:
CES clock priority internal <priority>
CES clock priority port 1 <priority>
CES clock priority stream 1 <priority>
where:
<priority> is the assigned priority value 0-19.
"port 1" is the G.703 port,
"stream 1" is the Logical Link between the devices.
