I. Control module
The control module consists of one main processor and several unit processors. The main processor is the MITU. When the MITU is faulty, the clock unit will manage the system instead. However, the clock unit can connect to the NMS. The unit processor is a single chip, which is used to collect information and control operations. The main processor and unit processors communicate with one another through the control bus. The main processor sends commands to the unit processors to query the unit status and receives the information reported by them.
V. Output module
The output module outputs the timing signal, and performs the functions of driving, isolating, matching and anti-interference for the output signal. Besides, the output module can measure the signals generated by itself, and switch to the standby unit in case that the active becomes faulty.

The host software provides the TL1 interface, which supports multiple maintenance centers being connected simultaneously with the NMS center for the purpose of system maintenance. The maintenance and administration software offers the maintenance staff the interfaces on monitoring, maintenance and administration. The maintenance and administration terminal shows the running status of the system graphically, and shows the performance data from the units with the curves. The maintenance terminal is able to maintain multiple devices simultaneously through multiple communication modes, such as serial port or network interface.
