Sysplex Out
Summary:The Sysplex Timer port outputs serial time strings for IBM mainframe Sysplex sys-
tems. The Sysplex Timer provides a common time reference across all the members of an IBM
Sysplex. The Sysplex Timer is a key component when systems on multiple CPCs share access to
the same data. Also see TIMING - Sysplex (on page 47).
Description:Sysplex Out is a male 9-pin D connector mounted on the rear chassis that transmits
Time of Day (TOD) with carriage return on time to an attached Sysplex-compatible device. Con-
figured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). Configurable via the Web interface. Sysplex typ-
ically uses a "null-modem" serial cable (not supplied) for interconnection with other Sysplex
equipment.
