- In my limited experience with NRZ, it is related to the sensitivity
- of the DCE (modem, DSU/CSU) to bit patterns. In some circumstances,
- because of carrier facilities, it will only support NRZI=NO e.g.,
- certain multiplexors.
-
- It sounds like you have timing problems. If you are using a carrier
- digital facilities, it seems to me that your DTEs (S/36 and 5294)
- should be deviving their clocking signals from the DCE i.e., External
- Clocking (from the DTE point-of-view). Now the next question is where
- do the DCEs derive their clocks? My guess is this is where your
- problem resides. Note that one DCE need be symmmetrically configured
- to the other DCE i.e., one could provide clocking, whereas the other
- could _derive_ clocking from the other.
-
- Or you could have a carrier synchronization problem. You will want
- to get your local telecom folks involved, no doubt.
