Synchronization Port
The SYNC connector is used to propagate radio synchronization information between co-located
gateways. This feature is only applicable when you use the NetCrossing Gateway in conjunction with
AFAR radios.
In a network consisting of Afar radios and gateways, synchronization information flows between all
units through (i) RF links, (ii) Ethernet messages, and/or (iii) the SYNC connector of the gateways.
This synchronization mechanism allows deploying a large network where all radios have their TDD
cycles synchronized, eliminating self-generated interference between co-located radios.
When you co-locate multiple radios with each one connected to a gateway, you should daisy-chain
the SYNC signal between all gateways. Then use the
tdd
command to set the
synch-mode
of all the
co-located gateways to either
auto
or
master
. In any large network only one site should be the
source of the timing. Set the
synch-mode
to
master
only at that site. The master gateways will “co-
share” the timing such that, even if one gateway fails, the synchronization information continues to
flow. This synchronization feature is explained in detail in the radio manual.
