This read-write value selects whether this DS3 interface's transmit clock comes from an internal local oscillator or is recovered from the received line signal. In a multi-device chain, exactly one device should typically be the clock master using internal while others use line clocking, or timing slips can occur. For example, an admin sets csDs3ConfigClockSource to line on a customer-edge DS3 interface so it derives timing from the carrier's network clock rather than running its own independent clock.
