ALPHA Serial Clock Manual

Network configurations—Adding serial clocks to an Alpha network
Alpha serial clocks can be connected together with each other or in a mix of
Alpha signs. Also, like an Alpha sign, an Alpha serial clock must be
terminated when it is the last device on a network.
In a network, one clock (or a PC attached to the network) is used to
synchronize all the other clocks to the same time. In a network composed of
all Alpha serial clocks, one clock must be set to master mode and the other
clocks set to slave mode.
Table 1: Networking Alpha serial clocks
(Example 1 — Clocks on an Ethernet network)
In this example of clocks on an Ethernet network, all clocks must be set to slave mode.
