[c-nsp] CT3 Timing issue

[Natambu Obleton]

I changed the PA-MC-T3s to line clocking, but still getting errors. If I connect both T1s to the same DS3, everything is fine. It's only if I spread the MLPPP T1's across the PA-MC-T3. I don't have the spread them, but it does the customer some redundancy. The CPE is an Adtran TA908e. 

Since I know the Adtran uses the same clock for both T1s and the PA-MC-T3's aren't, I have changed the T1 ports on the PA-MC-T3 to line and changed the adtran to internal and the slips have stopped. I do feel better with the PA-MC-T3 set to line on the DS3. Common clock achieved, sorta. :)

When I have timing set on the CPE to one of the T1s the other T1 gets slips and vice versa. Both of the PA-MC-T3 are set for internal timing. Shouldn't their timing be the same or should I have these setup for line timing? Thanks.
