Vanguard 7300 Cards
• There is one Card Clock on each card. Card Clock allows you to lock multiple
Groups together and must be used for voice ports.
• There is one System Clock bus in the node, which allows you to lock multiple
cards together.
You set each group on a card (four ports) as to whether it participates in Card Clock
or not and you set the card as to whether it participates in System Clock.
Figure 2-25 shows this arrangement, with X’s showing where the connections points
are located.
Figure 2-25. Clocking Example
If you have an external device providing a clock to a port, that clock, if it is the first,
highest priority clock in the group will drive the Group clock. You can configure
Group Clock to drive Card Clock. Card Clock can then be used to synchronize
different Groups and/or to drive System Clock. System clock can be used to
synchronize multiple cards.
If you are running Voice, the PCM encoded port must be on ports 1-2 and the Group
Clock (for group 1) must be set to Card Clock.
