Chapter 6 Clock Module Reference Data
Type I Clock Module
150 SSU-2000e User’s Guide 12713140-002-2 Revision E – October 2006
Configuration Data
The Stratum 3E Clock module is software configurable through one of the serial or
Ethernet ports. The default values and the ranges for the configurable parameters
are listed in Table 6-6.
Type I Clock Module
This section provides operating instructions and software provisioning procedures
for the Type I Clock module (part number 23413015-001-0), designed for use in the
SSU-2000e Synchronization Supply Unit.
Functional Overview
The Type I Clock module uses a quartz oscillator which meets or exceeds the
performance requirements for ITU and ETSI Type I Slave clocks. The Clock module
reads measurement data from the Input modules, provides frequency control of the
oscillator through DDS circuitry, and generates reference signals used by the Input
and Output modules.
A typical SSU-2000e shelf contains dual redundant Clock modules. Each Clock
module maintains phase synchronization with the redundant Clock module. Its
hardware and software also provides an initial offset adjustment and frequency
adjustment resolution of 1 x 10
-13
or better.
