-Always place the most reliable clock source at the top of the clock references list in the web portal. This will avoid unnecessary clock switch over. TelcoBridges recommend to synchronize the clock on the BITS port when available.

 When the system selects a clock, it will only use clock sources that are valid and that are available on an active device of the system. For example, in a system containing two [[TMG7800|7800 TMS]] ( one will be active, the other standby ) the clock sources on the standby [[TMG7800|7800 TMS]] (BITS ports) will not be selected.

 The system clock is configured using the Toolpack web portal. Toolpack allows the system to have a system clock references list. Clock redundancy is accomplished by configuring at least 2 valid clock references in the system. The system will scan through the clock references list until it finds a valid one. If the active clock source becomes unavailable, the system will scan through the clock reference list again to find another valid clock source. Clock recovery, which means that the system will switch back to a more preferred clock source if it becomes available again, can be configured in TMS network.
-Another redundancy feature for the system clock are the 2 [[BITS]] ports that can be assigned to different clock source.
