Configuring the POS Clock Source
The Cuda 12000 allows you to configure the POS module as the clock source
for the primary clock (A) and secondary clock (B), which are contained on the
backplane.
If you use a POS module as the clock source, make sure that the interface on
the POS module has been configured to receive clocking from the other
(remote) side of the POS link. Refer to Chapter 10, “Packet Over SONET
Administration” for more information on configuring POS interfaces.
