MINI-LINK TN Basic Node, Line Termination Unit (LTU 155) Synchronization
The LTU 155 can be configured to run both local oscillator and loop timing. One of the termination points in the STM-1 link is configured as master and is set up to provide synch from local oscillator. The synch information is transported in the Tx part of STM-1 link to the terminating end. The terminating end is configured to loop timing and reuses the incoming sync on to the outgoing link (Tx).
