摘要: A central time-of-day reference is integrated into a switch which interconnects I/O devices and host processors in computer complex via fiber-optic links. time oscillator the serves to generate incrementing signals for also provides clock signal transmissions. Units attached obtain from their regenerated clocks are synchronized oscillator, use control local references. Each unit periodically transmits requesting dynamic connection switch-based order receive of day message.
