[cisco-voip] Maximum number of T1 on 3845

I see your point on the 10 PRI circuits. Below is a great clocking
discussion from Derick Winkworth post on the voip-forum titled
"network-clock-participate" subject that I think Gu Sang is trying to hit
on. The logic surrounding his description seems to apply to this discussion:

Quote:

In telco-land, there is the idea that all network switches are synchronized
to the same clock.  This is achieved by planning how a clock is distributed
through your network.  The idea is that there is one clock device in a
network switch, called a PLL (phase-lock loop).  The PLL will
receive/recover the master clock on one of its bearer ports, or on a
dedicated clock port called a BITS port.



All other ports on that switch/device will be timed using this master clock.



Cisco's ISRs were built using this model.  There is one PLL on the
motherboard, called the network-clock.  Modules on your router may
participate in this clocking scheme or not.  Some have to, because they
don't have their own PLLs/clocks on-board.  When you need/want a module to
participate in the network clock, you use the network-clock-select command.
You select the master clock with the network-clock-select command.  You can
choose multiple master clocks and order them by priority.  Only one is
active at a time.



The implication here is that if you connect to multiple carriers (and thus
multiple clock domains), you may/will end up with clock slips on one of the
ports.  Otherwise, you would set the telco port as the master clock and then
time the rest of your private ports off of this.  You may need to do this if
you want the ISR to do TDM switching, for instance.
