The message DUS (Don’t Use for Synchronization is used to indicate
■ a link on which timing has been looped back, in order to prevent timing
loops
■ an invalid message
Synchronization messages are exchanged
■ between FT-2000 nodes over OC-48 interfaces via bits 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the
S1 byte
■ from FT-2000 nodes to DDM-2000 nodes over OC-3 and OC-12 interfaces
via proprietary message set on bits 1, 2, and 3 of the K2 byte.
On the OC-48 interface, synchronization messages are both transmitted and
processed. On the IS-3, OC-3, and OC-12 interfaces, synchronization messages
are supported in the direction to distribute timing to DDM-2000. The table below
show two ring environments available:
■ interoffice
■ customer location.
Table 2-3 explains ring environments and the use of synchronization.

DS1 output will be used to provide
timing to the equipment in the
customer location.
Note: if the timing is not traceable to
the timing network, insert DS1 AIS.
