ONT Product Information Guide
The CES IWF packetizes DS1 or E1 traffic received at the RJ-48C port before it is 
multiplexed with other Ethernet layer 2 data packets for transport upstream on the 
GPON. MEF-8 is the packet payload format used. The packetization is removed 
before downstream DS1 or E1 traffic from the GPON is sent to the DS1 or E1 lines 
at the subscriber side. 
The B-0404-A also supports connections for E1 services. The CES IWF interface 
provides MEF-8 packetization of E1 traffic from the E1/T1 interface, which provides 
four RJ-48C ports. Figure 8-3 shows the B-0404-A business ONT functional block 
diagram.

Clocking, network synchronization, and time calibration for CES
The B-0404-A can use one of two clocking sources for CES: a derived GPON clock 
or a local oscillator. When the system clock for CES is derived from the GPON, the 
upstream P-OLT locks to the BIT clock and supplies the ONT with an Ethernet clock 
that is traceable to a network timing reference. The supplied Ethernet clock is used 
for differential clock recovery and for timing the upstream pseudo-wire MEF-8 
packet streams in the absence of a valid TDM recovery clock. The local oscillator is 
only used if adaptive mode is selected.
The downstream TDM streams may be timed from one of two clocking sources: an 
adaptive clock received from the MEF-8 packet stream, or a differential clock 
recovered from the MEF-8 packet stream.
The B-0404-A calibrates its time of day from a series of network time protocol 
(NTP) servers. The ONT communicates with the NTP servers using the NTP 
protocol and authenticate NTP servers with a provisionable security key. During a 
loss of service (LOS) state on the GPON interface, a minimum 32 ppm clock is 
maintained.
8.10 B-0404-A standards compliance
