CHAPTER 3: Configuration
Switches S1-1 and S1-2: Clock Source
The setting for Switches S1-1 and S1-2 determines the source of the HSSI
Terminal Timing (TT). With Switch S1-1 On and S1-2 Off, the IC946A derives
the HSSI Terminal Timing from the ST signal provided by the HSSI DCE.
With Switch S1-1 Off, and S1-2 On, the V.35 DTE provides TT to the HSSI
DCE.

Switches S1-3 and S1-4: Synchronization Method
Switches S1-3 and S1-4 allow the IC946A to compensate for timing delays
when transmitting HSSI data at high speeds (greater than 2.5 Mbps). At high
bit rates, set Switch S1-3 On and Switch S1-4 Off. In this setting, the V.35 data
will be synchronized to the SD timing signal before conversion to HSSI. At
lower bit rates (less than 2.5 Mbps), set Switch S1-3 Off and S1-4 On. In this
setting, the V.35 data bypasses the synchronization circuit and is passed
straight through to the HSSI DCE.
