It has been suggested that if those circuits go through a DAX, the clocking signal may not be making it to the other system.

The 5400 has only one clocking domain. So, if you are getting clock from slot 6 port 0, then this is the time source for the whole TDM bus. So, all other T1s on the 5400 will be synchronized to that source, and anything that takes clock from those T1s should be synchronized.

That's why I suspect that the system on the other side of T1 6/1 is not actually taking clock from the line. Maybe it's free running or maybe it's taking clock from something else.

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

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.

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.
