Transmission and Synchronization Interfaces
5-20 Issue 1 December 1997
Consider the access ring network in Figure 5-8. Under normal operation, the ring
has one DDM-2000 Multiplexer externally timed and the others line-timed in the
counterclockwise direction. If a fiber failure occurs between the first two
DDM-2000 Multiplexers, the automatic synchronization reconfiguration feature will
cause the DDM-2000 Multiplexers to change their line-timed directions to
clockwise. The result is that the ring is again operating synchronously. The ring
already provides self-healing restoration of the traffic, so it is especially important
to maintain synchronous operation during this type of failure to prevent service
degradation due to increased jitter and wander.
