SYNC CHANNEL CHARACTERISTICS
(see Table below)
Note:
If you see
CONFIGURATION INHIBITED
and
WRONG CHANNEL TYPE
messages, it
is likely that a reset was not performed after changing the port configuration to
sync. Abort this process and perform a node reset before returning to this
sequence.
Each sync protocol (selected during port configuration) has a different Sync
Channel Characteristics Menu. Table 51 describes all of the options on all of
the menus.
Note:
It is recommended that you set the rate to 19,200 bps or higher. On speeds
lower than 19,200, the block size should be short. For the 5000E/6 modules,
do not exceed a sync data rate of 19,200 bps.

It is recommended that you increase the number of Trailing Pad
Characters to the maximum for higher data rates (19.2 Kbps and higher).

Tail circuits on TDM are supported at rates up to 38,400 bps when one
side is set for internal clocking and the other side is set for external
clocking. Do not configure a higher data rate.
