clock source (T3/E3)
To set clocking for individual T3 or E3 links, use the
clock source
command in T3 or E3 configuration mode.
To return to the default, use the
no
form of this command.
clock source
{
internal| line
}
no clock source
Syntax Description
Specifies that the clock is generated from the internal clock of the T3 controller. The default
is internal.
When configuring clocking on a serial link, you need to configure one end to be
internal
and the other end to be
line
. If you configure
internal
clocking on both
ends of a connection, framing slips occur. If you configure
line
clocking on both
ends of a connection, the line does not come up.
Note
internal
Specifies that the clock on this controller derives its clocking from the external source to
which the controller is connected, which is generally the telephone company central office
(CO).
