As shown in Figure 14: Clock controller primary and secondary tracking on page 78, a system
with a dual CPU can have two clock controllers (CC0 and CC1). One clock controller acts as
a backup to the other. The clock controllers should be locked to the reference clock.
Figure 14: Clock controller primary and secondary tracking
Free run (non-tracking) mode
The clock synchronization for a PRI loop can operate in free-run mode if
•
the loop is not defined as the primary or secondary clock reference
• the primary and secondary references are disabled
• the primary and secondary references are in local alarm
Reference clock errors
System software checks every 0-15 minutes (programmable) to see if a clock-controller or
reference-clock error has occurred.
