Configuring the SyncE Function

Usage Scenario

On the IP RAN shown in Figure 1, clock synchronization needs to be achieved between NodeBs. The Atom GPS timing solution can be deployed as follows to allow clock synchronization: Insert an Atom GPS module into an ASG so that the Atom GPS module can synchronize clock signals with the GPS and the ASG can synchronize clock signals with the Atom GPS module. Then, configure the SyncE function to allow transmission of clock signals to downstream devices and then to NodeBs. In this manner, network-wide clock synchronization is achieved.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring the SyncE function, complete the following task:

• Configure the Atom GPS module to properly process GPS clock signals.
