1. DESCRIPTION
This application enables the time on an ALCATEL 4400 PABX to be set by an external
clock. The clock can be one of the following:
!" Micro Quartz S.
!" Mobaline.
!" Semco Master Clock Mark 12C.
!" ATO
!" Inducta MTS 1 Marine Master Clock System.
!" Shanghai subway clock.
!" Nanjing subway clock.
!" Shanghai2 clock

2. OPERATION

EXTERNAL V24 / RS485 UA link

CLOCK Adapter

ALCATEL 4400
• The adapter receives and checks the date and time fields transmitted on the V24 / RS885
by the external clock. When a valid frame is received, it updates the internal time of the
adapter.

• The adapter simulates an attendant on its UA link. Using the configuration menu of the
attendant, the adapter compares the time of the A4400 with its internal time, and modifies
the time of the A4400 if a difference of more than 2 minutes is detected.

• Optionally the adapter modifies the time of the A4400 regularly if the periodic setting
function is used.

Requirements:

• A4400 Release R 1.5.x or upper.

• The frame sent by external clock must match with one described in § “Time transmission
protocol”.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Procedure
1. Check the list of items supplied.
2. Configure the jumpers on the adapter.
3. Connect the V24 or RS485 to the external clock.
4. Wire up the UA link.

3.4 External clock connector

V24 :
!" RD : Receive Data - DB9 pin 3 on the adapter
!" SG : Signal Ground - DB9 pin 5 on the adapter

RS485 :
!" A : DB9 pin 9 on the adapter
!" B : DB9 pin 1 on the adapter

4. PUTTING INTO SERVICE

4.1 Management in the PABX

Manage in the order:
!" An operator group dedicated to the time setting application.
!" An operator with the following specifications :
• Type of terminal : 4034
• The UA equipment used by the adapter
• Select the display language as appropriate: FRENCH or ENGLISH only.
• Authorise date and time setting without control.
• Allocate this operator to the operator group previously created.

4.2 Management
Connect a console to the V24 maintenance connector (PC with terminal emulation)
configured 19200 7E1, with a C3050000 cable.

4.2.1 Time format

Use timeformat command to set Anglo-Saxon or Latin time format according to A4400
configuration :

timeformat : display current time format

timeformat 0 : set Latin time format
timeformat 1 : set Anglo-Saxon time format

4.2.2 External clock serial format

Use serial command to set external clock serial format configuration.
• Baudrate : 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000, 14400, 19200, 24000, 28000,
38400, 57600 or 115200.
• Byte size : 5, 6, 7 or 8.
• Parity : None, Odd, or Even.
• Stop bits : 1 or 2.

Examples:
serial: display current serial format
serial 96008N1 : set 9600 bauds ,8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit
serial 120007E1 : set 1200 bauds ,7 data bits, Even parity, 1 stop bit

4.2.3 Periodic time setting

Use period command to set the periodic time setting delay.
Nevertheless if a difference of more than 2 minutes is detected between two periodic setting,
the adapter modifies the time of the A4400.

Value in minutes between 0 and 65535.

Examples:
period : display current the periodic time setting delay.
period 0 :No periodic time setting.
period 60: time setting every hour.
period 1440: time setting every day.
period 10080: time setting every week.

4.2.4 Trace command.

Use T command to check the system in case of problems.
T 2 1: set UA trace.
T 3 1:set application trace
T 4 1:set master clock trace
T x 0:reset a trace

5. MAINTENANCE

5.1 LED condition

The red LED on the front shows the CPU activity. In normal operation, it flashes at the rate of
1second/1second.
When the adapter considers its internal time as not valid or if the communication with the
PABX fail, the red LED flashes quickly as the rate of 100ms/100ms. It happens when the
adapter starts or if it has not received any correct time frame from the external clock for one
hour.

6. TIME TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

The time frame should be sent at least every minute.

6.1 Field protocol

The adapter recognises the frame formats of different external clocks. In the adapter, the years
90 to 99 refer to 1990 to 1999 and the years 00 to 89 refer to 2000 to 2089.
