    ATM UNI interfaces, that is, between non-ATM telephony devices (such as classic PBXs or TDMs) and ATM devices (such as Cisco 7200 series routers).

    By issuing the network-clock-select command with appropriate parameters, you can define a particular port in a Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series to serve as the source of a PRS for the entire chassis or for other devices in the networking environment. This command enables you to designate a particular port in a Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series to serve as a “master clock”...
  • Page 21 Network Clock Distribution in a Cisco 7200 Series Router or a Cisco uBR7200 series When equipped with an ATM CES port adapter and appropriate software, any Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series can serve as a means for receiving and distributing a PRS to other devices in the network.
  • Page 22 PRS. The default clock source is the local oscillator. But, in this case, this is not a problem because the traffic from the T1/E1 CBR ports is also disrupted. In the Cisco 7200 series router or the Cisco uBR7200 series, all T1/E1 traffic goes only on the ATM WAN uplink. When ATM 3/0 goes up, the PRS is automatically recovered.
  • Page 23: Clocking Modes For Ces Operations

    Synchronous clocking mode requires a PRS and network clock synchronization services. When equipped with an ATM CES port adapter and appropriate software, any Cisco 7200 series router or Cisco uBR7200 series can serve as a means for synchronizing the flow of user CBR traffic through the network.
  • Page 24: Synchronous Residual Time Stamp Clocking Mode

    Although this clocking mode is the simplest and easiest to implement in an ATM network, it exhibits the poorest wander and jitter performance of all the available clocking modes. Therefore, Cisco does not recommend its use, except in instances where a PRS and network clock synchronization services are not available.

The ATM CES port adapter can be used only on a Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series that has a 150-MHz network processing engine (NPE-150). The target application of the ATM CES port adapter is access to a broadband public or private ATM network where multiservice consolidation of voice, video, and data traffic over a single ATM link is a requirement.
