Abstract
A method of synchronizing at least one receiver module (MOD , MOD ), in particular a receiver module in a telecommunications network or in a network device of a telecommunications network, has the following steps: A first clock signal (TS ) and a second clock signal (TS ) are sent to the at least one receiver module (MOD , MOD ). In addition, at least one item of master-slave-status information (MSX) about the at least one first clock signal (TS ) and/or the second clock signal (TS ) is sent to the at least one receiver module (MOD , MOD ). Based on the item of master-slave-status information (MSX), the at least one receiver module (MOD , MOD ) selects the first clock signal (TS ) or the second clock signal (TS ) as master synchronization signal for its synchronization.
