Passport 8250 functions
The Passport 8250 is an Integrated Access MUX, a rugged,high-densityunit
that provides a seamless bridge between traditional voice networks and ATM
networks. The Passport 8250 multiplexes TDM traffic - voice, video, IP,
frame relay, X.25, and SNA - on DS-1/E1 trunks to OC-3c/STM-1 fiber
trunks (ATM over SONET/SDH). Using ATM Forum AAL1 circuit
emulationstandards,traditionalvoice networktraffic(dial-up Internet access,
modem data traffic, telephony, and more) is seamlessly transported over the
efficient, high-bandwidth ATM network. Deployed at either the service
provider setting or customer premises (campus,apartment building, or office
center, for example), the high-density unit supports up to 48 DS-1/E1 ports,
up to 336 DS-1s/E1s in a single frame.

•External. The clocking schemeis derivedfromthe ATM network off the
ATM uplink port or aT1/E1 port on the Passport 8250. Select oneof the
following switching options:
241-5101-200 R2.2
— Fixed. The clocking scheme is fixed permanently to the primary
port. If there is a problem with theprimaryport,you need to change
to the secondary port using the clockconfig command.
— Automatic switching. The clocking scheme is temporarily fixed to
theprimaryport.The Passport8250automaticallyswitches from the
primary port to the secondary port and, if needed,switchesfromthe
secondary port to internal.
Note: We recommend that you select the device with the lower stratum
clock as the clock source. The Passport 8250 has a stratum 4 clock.
