3.6.1 Network Timing Example

Figure 3-8
timing references are set to BITS. These are Stratum 1 timing sources wired to the BITS input pins on
the Node 1 backplane. The third reference is set to internal clock. The BITS output pins on the backplane
of Node 3 are used to provide timing to outside equipment, such as a Digital Access Line Access
Multiplexer.
In the example, Slots 5 and 6 contain the trunk cards. Timing at Nodes 2, 3, and 4 is set to line, and the
timing references are set to the trunk cards based on distance from the BITS source. Reference 1 is set
to the trunk card closest to the BITS source. At Node 2, Reference 1is Slot 5 because it is connected to
Node 1. At Node 4, Reference 1 is set to Slot 6 because it is connected to Node 1. At Node 3, Reference
1 could be either trunk card because they are equal distance from Node 1.
