FIGURE 5-112 CES8 Card Details
All the fields for the General tab are the same as for other cards except for the following:
• Port Type - This can be DS1 (the default) or E1. Note that the card must be disabled before the Port Type can be
changed.
• Timing Ref. - The timing reference is where the card will get its clocking reference from. The choices are:
• INTERNAL - The internal oscillator (locked to a timing signal from the active CFC)
• A “self-timed” DS1/E1 port physical interface
• A “self-timed” Pseudo-span (using RTP-based derived, adaptive timing)
The buttons for the CES8 card are similar to other cards, while noting the following:
• Restart - Needed when a different load is being used.
• Run Diags. - Runs a set of diagnostics. The card must be disabled first. If there are failures, there are messages and logs
that can be accessed using the Log Manager.
