Configure the on board clocking dynamically

Symptom

When troubleshooting clocking-related problems, it is useful to be able to change or reconfigure the clocking arrangement to determine the root cause of the issue.

Solution

The Dialogic Swish utility can be used to reconfigure the on board clock setting without having to reboot the board.

The following shows an example with two boards in a system:  Board 0 and Board 1.  
Board 0 is configured to be the clock master driving the A clock on the H100 CT bus, and Board 1 is slaved to A clock.

The example shows how to reconfigure Board 0 to slave off B clock and Board 1 to be the master driving B clock using the clock signal from its second T1/E1 trunk : 
To start the Dialogic Swish utility interactively, enter the following at the command prompt:

swish

 

In the Swish shell, run the following commands:

SWISH: openswitch board0 = agsw 0 SWISH: openswitch board1 = agsw 1 SWISH: configboardh board1 type=h100 source=NETWORK 2 h100mode=MASTER_B SWISH: configboardh board0 type=h100 source=h100_b h100mode=SLAVE

 

To confirm the new settings, run the following query commands:

SWISH: queryboardcl board0 SWISH: queryboardcl board1

 

To exit the Swish shell, enter:
