Synchronization
The LTU 155 can be configured to run both local

oscillator and loop timing.
SDH network
One of the termination points in the STM-1 link
is configured as master and is set up to provide
synch from local oscillator.
The synch information is transported in the Tx part Loop timing
of STM-1 link to the terminating end.

The terminating end is configured to loop timing
and reuses the incoming sync on to the outgoing Loop timing Local oscillator
