Overview
Synchronous timing configuration enables an NE to automatically select and be synchronized with the highest-quality clock source in the network, in order to achieve clock synchronization for the entire network. The following operations can be performed: Configure synchronous timing Obtain the clock working mode Calibrate the clock card frequency Calibrate the active/standby switching of the clock card These operations can be performed by the system operator level. The NE synchronous timing table is accessed through the main menu and the right-click menu of the NE. The window lists all the clocks for external references that can be selected. You manually select options and set priorities for them to form a synchronous clock table, and then send it to the equipment.

After setting the synchronous timing table, determine whether the equipment is correctly locked with the expected clock source by viewing the clock working mode. In addition, you can open the Get SEC Working Mode window (on page 6-5) from the main menu to view the current clock working mode and clock reference of the NE.
3. Select the corresponding external references for the clock and click Apply to send the external clock references to the NE.

The following buttons are available in this window: Query - queries the EMS-BGF database about the synchronous timing information saved for this NE. Retrieved data is displayed in the window. Get - obtains the synchronous timing information for this NE from the NE equipment and displays it in the window. Apply - sends the synchronous timing information to the NE equipment and saves it to the EMS-BGF database. The clock availability status indicates whether the clock reference is currently available. This field is read-only and cannot be modified. The following values can be configured in this window: Clock type The selected clocks are based on assigned priorities. Unselected clocks are not used. PPI For the OMD1 card, you should select the optical port as the clock source. Priority The higher the priority value, the higher the priority. S1 byte status The S1 byte has two statuses: Automatic and Forced. Automatic status obtains the S1 byte from the line automatically. Forced status sets the S1 byte manually. 2 MHz tributaries, 2 Mbps tributaries, and Synchronous Equipment Timing Sources (SETSs) can only work in Forced status, while others can work in both statuses. S1 type value S1 type values are: PRC (G.811 clock) SSU-T (G.812 transit office clock) SSU-L (G.812 local office clock) SEC (synchronous equipment timing source clock) DNU (not used as synchronous clock) UNK (synchronization quality unknown)
