Programs the clock source for the modem transmitter clock.
"TX Terrestrial" sets the TX clock to recover timing from the
incoming clock/data.
"RX (Satellite)" sets the TX clock to operate from the satellite clock.
"SCT (Internal)" sets the TX clock to operate from the modem
internal clock. This is also the fallback clock.
On entry, the current transmit clock setting is displayed. Press [

"EXT. REFERENCE" sets this clock source to the Master Clock (or
Terminal Timing) external reference, which is received on the DATA
I/O connector on the rear of the modem.
"TX TERRESTRIAL" sets the buffer output clock to recover timing
from the incoming TX data clock.
On entry, the current setting of the interface buffer clock is displayed.
Press [ ] or [ ] to select "RX (SATELLITE)," "SCT (INTERNAL),"
↑ ↓
