[cisco-nas] Slips

I would like to change port 6/1 to clocking internal, but I can't find any way change the clocking on an individual t1 port controller to internal. Am I missing something?

  Thank you for your response.

  Show tdm clocks shows the AS5400 is using the circuit in port 6/0 for primary clocking.

  Primary Clock:
  --------------
  System primary is slot 6 port 0 of priority 1
  TDM Bus Master Clock Generator State = NORMAL

  Backup clocks for primary:
  Source  Slot  Port  DS3-Port  Priority      Status      State
  -------------------------------------------------------------
  Trunk   1     1       YES       2            Good        Configured
  Trunk   1     2       YES       3            Good        Configured
  Trunk   1     3       YES       4            Good        Configured
  Trunk   1     4       YES       5            Good        Configured
  Trunk   1     5       YES       6            Good        Configured
  Trunk   6     1       NO        213          Good        Default
  Trunk   1     28      YES       202          Good        Default
  Trunk   1     27      YES       203          Good        Default

  Trunk cards controllers clock health information

        CT3         2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
  Slot  Port  Type  8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

  We had considered the possibility that the problem might be coming from the mux that everything was passing through. I rewired the pinouts from telco in order to connect them directly to a t1 port on the AS5400 (Controller 6/1), rather than passing them through the mux and coming across a channel on the t3. It works, but the slips are exactly the same.

  ArmoryPl-AS5400#show controller t1 6/1
  T1 6/1 is up.
    Applique type is Channelized T1
    Cablelength is long gain36 0db
    Description: Leonard Brush MUX Bypass
    No alarms detected.
    alarm-trigger is not set
    Version info of slot 6:  HW: 768, PLD Rev: 1
    Framer Version: 0x8

  Manufacture Cookie Info:
   EEPROM Type 0x0001, EEPROM Version 0x01, Board ID 0x02,
   Board Hardware Version 3.0, Item Number 73-3996-03,
   Board Revision A0, Serial Number JAB044106K3,
   PLD/ISP Version <unset>,  Manufacture Date 11-Oct-2000.

    Framing is ESF, Line Code is B8ZS, Clock Source is Line.
    Data in current interval (638 seconds elapsed):
       0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
       54 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
       54 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs

  Right next to it is the trunking circut plugged into 6/0, it runs fine, no slips. I would like to change 6/1 to internal clocking, btw, so that it should be following the clock that is being derived on 6/0, but can't find anyway to change that on the t1 ports. So as it stands right now, both 6/1 and the customer router on the other end of that t1 are set to clock-source line, with no mux between them. And getting slips.
