SDM-309B Satellite Modem M&C and Interfaces
MN/U-SDM309B Rev. # 4-4–47
an exact frame length, causing minimum loss of data. By using very high stability clocks,
the expected time between slips can be many days.
Loss of the buffer clock will mean the buffer will not be emptied and no data will be
available. The buffer clock will normally revert to the low stability internal reference
automatically.

4.3.2.2 Master/Master (Station Clock)
Care should be taken when using this mode. Make sure that the station clock is also used
to synchronize the transmit data. Phasing problems may also occur between the transmit
data and the station clock input and for this reason, it is better to use the TERR clock on
transmit.
