TDM and Timing
This section describes the configuration of the TDM and clock timing parameters.
TDM Bus Clock Settings
In a traditional TDM service network such as PSTN, both ends of the TDM connection must be
synchronized. If synchronization is not achieved, voice frames are either dropped (to prevent a
buffer overflow condition) or inserted (to prevent an underflow condition). In both cases, connection
quality and reliability is affected.
â– PSTN line clock (see Recovering Clock from PSTN Line)
â– Internal clock (see Configuring Internal Clock as Clock Source)
When the device is used in a ‘non-span’ configuration, the internal device clock must be
used (as explained above).
Recovering Clock from PSTN Line Interface
This section provides a brief description for configuring synchronization based on recovering clock
from the PSTN line interface. For a full description of the clock parameters, see PSTN Parameters.
➢ To configure synchronization based on clock from PSTN line:
1. Open the TDM Bus Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway folder >
TDM Bus Settings).
