5.6.1 SYNCHRONIZED E1 SYSTEMS
Multiple IMUX 2000 systems can be synchronized by deriving their timing from the same timing
source. One way to accomplish this is to daisy-chain the external timing outputs and inputs of several
head-end terminal multiplexers (Figure 5-12). Note that multiple IMUX 2000 systems loop-timed to
the same network are also synchronized, both to each other and to the network. E1 systems are
synchronized to prevent buffer overflows or underflows, generally called "slips", in the network
switching systems such as digital central offices, PBXs, and digital cross-connect systems.
