Monitoring Redundant SCGs
You monitor and maintain redundant SONET Clock Generators (SCGs) installed in
the T320 router and the T640 routing node to ensure that there is no interruption of
function. SCGs provide a clock signal for SONET/SDH, and select a clock signal from
any Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC), or from the external clock inputs.
Table 117 lists the tasks you perform to monitor redundant SCGs.

Performing a Swap Test on a Redundant SCG on
page 556
1. Take the SCG offline.
request chassis scg offline slot number
2. Replace the SCG with one that you know works.
3. Bring the SCG online.
request chassis scg offline slot number
4. Verify the SCG status.

Returning the SCG on page 557
See “Return the Failed Component” on page 86, or follow the
procedure in the M40e or M160 router hardware guide.
