The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Clock Recovery System recovers the service clock using Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) and Differential Clock Recovery (DCR).
Information About Clock Recovery
 Note |
Framing type should be maintained same in all routers end to end. |
Effective Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1, ACR is supported on the 8-port T1/E1 interface module.
Note |
Framing type should be maintained same in all routers end to end. |
Customer-edge devices (CEs) can have different clock from that of the Provide-edge devices (PEs).

The clock of interface modules must be used as service clock.
CEM must be configured before configuring the global clock recovery.
RTP must be enabled for DCR in CEM, as the differential clock information is transferred in the RTP header.
The reference clock source is used and locked to a single clock.
The clock ID should be unique for a particular interface module for ACR or DCR configuration.
When CEM group is configured, dynamic change in clock source is not allowed.
ACR clock configuration under each controller should be performed before configuring CEM group.
When ACR or DCR is configured and loopback network is applied on the same PDH (T1/E1), then the ACR or DCR mode configuration is removed to enable the loopback. The ACR or DCR should be configured again after the loopback maintenance activity.
Scale Restrictions
For the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.x release, a maximum of 5376 ACR and DCR session scale is supported on the Cisco 1-port OC-192 Interface module or 8-port Low Rate Interface Module (8-port SFP GE and 1-port 10GE IM with CEM, 10G). For releases before the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1 release, only 2000 session are supported.
Before configuring Adaptive Clock Recovery, CEM must be configured. Below are the guidelines to configure clock recovery:
The node (chassis) on which the DS1 is configured for ACR, must have its own clock derived from BITS/GPS/Stratum clock.
The minimum packet size of CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 64 bytes.
enable
configure terminal
controller t1 0/4/0
cem-group 0 unframed
clock source recovered 1
exit
recovered-clock 0 1
clock recovered 1 adaptive cem 1 0
exit
Note |
The clock configuration on controller must be done before configuring the clock recovery on global configuration mode. |
To remove the clock configuration in ACR and DCR, you must remove the recovery clock configuration in global configuration mode and then remove the controller configuration.
Before configuring Adaptive Clock Recovery, CEM must be configured. Below are the guidelines to configure clock recovery:
The node (router) on which the interface module is configured for ACR, must have its own clock derived from BITS/GPS/Stratum clock.

Use the show recovered-clock command to verify the adaptive clock recovery of T3 interfaces for SAToP:
Router# show recovered-clock

The minimum packet size of CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 256 bytes.
To configure differential clock recovery on T3 interface for SAToP in controller mode:
enable

To configure differential clock recovery of T3 interface in global configuration mode, use the following commands:
recovered-clock 0 1
