Network Timing Interfaces
• BITS input or output—The BITS interfaces support clock recovery from either a T1 at 1.544 MHz or an
• 1PPS input or output and ToD input or output—This shielded RJ-45 interface is used for input or output
The same RS422 pins for 1PPS and TOD are shared between input and output directions. The direction for
each can be independently configurable through software.
Use an SMB connector on the front panel for the following:
• GPS 10 Mhz input and output—10 MHz input for GPS Synchronization.
• GPS 1 PPS input and output—1 PPS input for GPS Synchronization.
External Alarm Inputs
The router supports four dry contact alarm inputs through an RJ-45 jack at the rear panel.
• Normally Open—indicates that no current flows through the alarm circuit and the alarm is generated
Each alarm input can be provisioned as critical, major, or minor.
Console
The RS232 console port provides transmission (Tx), reception (Rx), and ground (Gnd).
