Ok, Here it is. Hopefully very simple. The dce think of it as a translator it speaks two different technologies at layer one of the osi model. The dce recievies a signal from say a t1, which operates at level one of the osi model. The t1 signal has clock in it.... this is derived from a stratom clock passed down through the networks for timing...... so you have two dce or csu both operating on the ends of the circuit, in the same language using the same beat.... in synch. All of this is fine, but the routers have to take the data that they are receiving and pass to the dce. So this requires that the routers....dte... are also in synch... where can they get the common signaling from? you guessed it, the same timing signal can be passed to the routers from the csu................ lets try that again, the dte can receiving the timing from the dce. the dce terminates the t1 circuit, derives the timing and places that on a timing pin/pins to the dte. The dce also derives the data from the t1 and sends that on the data pin/pins to the dte
