(ASCEND) Clock source



Kevin,

We were just told by tech support that there can be only one global clock 
source for a Max 4004.  Thus, if we have (for example) two CT1, a U S 
Worst frame relay line, and MCI frame relay, all from different sources, 
we can't plug them all into a 4004.  Since this is exactly what we have, 
we were extremely displeased to hear this.  If this is indeed true, it 
means that: 

1.) Two net/T1 interfaces on each of my Max 4004's go to waste; 
2.) My Maxen cannot handle frame and modem T1's as we were told 
    they can; 
3.) I need to dig up another CSU/DSU and cable to put all my 
    frame realy on a Cisco instead of moving it to the Max like I 
    planned to be able to;
4.) I suspect that we may have found the source of more than one 
    elusive problem.

Comments?  I heard this with a certain degree of disbelief, since it would
seem to be a monumentally stupid way to design a box designed to handle up
to 4 T1/PRI...  nowhere in any docs we've seen does it specify that all
four MUST have the same clock source.  Ugh.
