the send timing outputs of data module 1 is also paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2. By using this con-
figuration, the timing for both data modules and both UR–RS422 channels are derived from a single clock source. As a
result, data sampling for both of the UR–RS422 channels is synchronized via the send timing leads on data module 1 as
shown below. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not desired, the G.703 interface is a
viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

Data module 1 provides timing to the L30 RS422 interface via the ST(A) and ST(B) outputs. Data module 1 also provides
timing to data module 2 TT(A) and TT(B) inputs via the ST(A) and AT(B) outputs. The data module pin numbers have been
omitted in the figure above since they vary by manufacturer.
