Syntax

Clocking.HBus.ClockSource = clock_source

Access

Read/Write

Type

String

Default

OSC

Allowed Values

OSC | A_CLOCK | NETREF

Example

Clocking.HBus.ClockSource = NETREF

Description

This keyword is valid for QX 2000/100-4L boards only. It specifies the clock source that is used to derive the internal clock reference.
Value

Description

OSC

Causes the board to drive the bus clock using its on-board oscillator.

This setting should only be used when specifying the clock master. It should be used only if no external timing reference is available (from a digital trunk or other source).

A_CLOCK

Causes the board to take its timing reference from the CT_C8_A and CT_FRAME_A timing signals on the H.100 bus. Since these signals are driven by the clock master, a board with the setting is a clock slave.

NETREF

Causes the board to drive the bus clock based on NETREF. NETREF is a clock signal broadcast on the bus by another device, based (usually) on an external timing reference.

Note: This setting should only be used when specifying the clock master. Rather than making a QX board the clock master based on a reference signal from another board, NMS recommends making that board the clock master.

The board returns an error if you select a CT bus clock source and no source is detected.

For more information about QX board clocking, refer to Chapter 5. For general information about CT bus clocking, refer to the OAM System User's Manual.
