Connecting the PTX5000 Packet Transport Switch to an External Clocking Device
To connect the packet transport switch to one or two external clocking devices, connect
a cable with RJ-48 connectors to the BITS A or BITS B port on the CCG.
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the BITS A port on the CCG.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the T1 external clocking device.
4. Repeat the procedure for the BITS B port on the CCG.
5. Verify that the LINK LED for the port is lit steadily green and that the FAULT LED is not
lit.
6. Configure the port. See the synchronization statement for PTX Series Packet Transport
Switches in the Junos OS System Basics Configuration Guide.
7. Issue the show chassis synchronization extensive command to check the status of the
port.
