The four-port T1/E1 interface module supports individual cabling for each port. The CTP150 ports have
T1/E1 ports for RJ-48 connectors (see Figure 5 on page 10). The highest-numbered port (labeled 3) is on
the left, and the lowest-numbered port (labeled 0) is at the right, with the CLK port still farther to the right.

The software-selectable T1/E1 interfaces for the module are T1, E1, fractional T1, and fractional E1. CSU
options, encoding, and encapsulation are also software-selectable.
The module also includes an external clock reference port for an RJ-48 connector. Note that only one
external clock reference is required even if there are two interface modules, serial or T1/E1.
If you want to use an external clock as node reference, then the clock must be connected to module slot
0. Slot 0 is the left module slot.
NOTE: The external clock reference port must be the one in module slot 0, the left-most module
slot in the front of the CTP150 chassis.

CTP150 Clock Module
Clock interface modules provide clock distribution between modules when the backplane is in use by voice
applications. For the CTP150 model, the serial and T1/E1 interfaces each have a clock port, although only
