DESCRIPTION
The ADTRAN®MX2820 Clock Card is a plug-in
card, which generates a timing signal synchro-
nized to either of two external BITS clock refer-
ences. If both BITS clock references fail, the Clock
Card meets Sonet Minimum Clock (SMC)
holdover requirements to produce the clock
reference. This signal is used by the MX2820 to
synchronize its STS-1 transmit. Two Clock Cards
provide 1-to-1 redundancy in the MX2820 system.
FEATURES
The MX2820 Clock Card has the following features:
•Provides a redundant SMC source with clock holdover to the
MX2820 STS-1 Multiplexer
•Communicates to the redundant Clock Card though an
asynchronous data link directly between the two cards
•Provides another direct link to the redundant card for
protection management
•Maintains full duplex link to the System Controller Unit (SCU)
for management, alarm notification, and card provisioning
•Displays status using a single front panel LED, labeled ACT
•Supports downloading of FLASH program data to the active
and protection card simultaneously or individually
•Meets NEBS Level 3 requirements
•Interfaces to backplane through a 24-pin Future Bus connector
•Supports TL1 and SNMP
INSTALLATION
After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If damage is
found, file a claim with the carrier and then contact Customer
Service. For more information, refer to the warranty.
This module occupies a Clock Card slot in the MX2820 chassis.
Follow these steps to install the Clock Card:
1. Pull the ejector tab into the down position.
2. Gently but firmly push the Clock Card into the selected
Clock Card slot.
3. Apply thumb pressure at the top and at the bottom of the
unit to ensure a good seat of the Clock Card into the
backplane connector.
4. Push the ejector tab up and closed against the front panel.
Upon installation, the Clock Card begins a self-test. When the
self-test is complete, the LEDs indicate the current status of the
hardware.
