Measuring timing slips
The SmartClass E1 allows you to monitor the timing between two E1 signals
for timing slips. For example, you can check customer premises equipment
against a master clock at the central office, or you can compare two lines of
network equipment. The SmartClass measures the difference, in bits per
second (bit/s), between the opposite receiver (Rx) or the external 2M Refer-
ence clock.
The following procedure describes how to measure timing slips.
