If equipped, switch PNC and/or tone

One at a time, replace the EI, SNI, IPSI,
or tone clock for the port network with
slips.
The synchronization issue covers a large portion of the system. The problem is in a
center stage switch (CSS), IPSI or Tone-Clock, EI, SNI, or DS1 spans in port networks (PN)
other than the timing master PN.
This procedure attempts to isolate the problem.
If unduplicated, change the tone-clock in
the master reference PN.
