Synchronization Messaging to Support DS1 Timing Outputs 5
Figure 5-24a (an OC-3 linear application, although not supported in Release 13.0,
is used to explain the concepts of synchronization messaging) shows a dual
homing linear network operating in its normal configuration. The DDM-2000 OC-3
Multiplexer at site A is externally timed, and the DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexers at
sites B and C are line-timed from site A. The DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer at site
D is also externally timed from another BITS. Both BITS should be PRS traceable.
The SQU message is sent to indicate where timing is traceable to an external
BITS and where it is valid to be used. The TLB message is sent to indicate where
line timing has been used and, thus, where using that timing would create a timing
loop. Synchronization messaging has been enabled for this network, but
automatic synchronization reconfiguration has not been enabled.
