The sync is passed in a cable that connects Pins 1 and 6 of the RJ-11 timing ports of the
two modules. When you connect modules in this way, you must also adjust configuration
parameters to ensure that
◦ the AP is set to properly receive sync.
◦ the SM will not propagate sync to the AP if the SM itself ceases to receive sync.
Perform Procedure 35: Extending network sync on Page 374.

The SM to which you wire a remote AP can be either an SM that serves a customer or an
SM that simply serves as a relay. Where the SM serves a customer, wire the remote AP
to the SM as shown in Figure 38.
Figure 38: Remote AP wired to SM that also serves a customer
Where the SM simply serves as a relay, you must use a straight-through RJ-45
female-to-female coupler, and wire the SM to the remote AP as shown in Figure 39.
