Nortel Networks Circuit Card 311 - Manual (Page 905)

Introduction 905
It is consequently located in slots 1 to 9 of the main and IP expansion
cabinets and can support 1.5 Mb, 2.0 Mb, and 2.56 Mb clock recovery rates
Note: The card is restricted to slots 1 through 3 in EMC- type cabinets
(such as NAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx cabinets). It does not work in slots 4
through 10 in these cabinets.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
If an IP Expansion multi-cabinet system is equipped with digital trunk cards, it is
mandatory that at least one trunk card is placed in the Main Option 11C cabinet.
A cabinet that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller.
NTAK20 provides the following features and functions:
• phase lock to a reference, generation of the 10.24 Mhz system clock,
and distribution of the clock to the CPU through the backplane
• accepts one primary and one secondary reference
• primary-to-secondary switchover and auto-recovery
• chatter prevention due to repeated switching
• error-burst detection and correction, holdover, and free running
capabilities
• communication with software
• jitter filtering
• use of an algorithm to aid in detecting crystal aging and to qualify
clocking information
Digital trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock
source results in an equivalent shift in all parts of the network. In the CS
1000 system, synchronization is accomplished with an NTAK20 clock
controller daughterboard in each Media Gateway that contains a digital
trunk card.
The NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard mounts directly on the following
cards:
• NTAK09 1.5Mb DTI/PRI
• NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI
• NTRB21 DTI/PRI/DCH TMDI
• NT6D70 SILC
• NT6D71 UILC
