How do I set the MX2424 to a Word Clock reference other than internal

You can set the sample reference to external word clock in [Setup] menu 002. Listed below are the options and information pertaining to them.

Automatic This will set the MX-2424 to internal clock as long as the Frame Reference is not set to video in Menu 001, in which case the sample clock will lock to video. If the Frame Reference is set to Video in Menu 001 and the Sample Reference is not set to Automatic,then the MX-2424 assumes that these two references are externally resolved. If the MX-2424 is set to be a slave on the TL-BUS then the sample clock switches to “TL-BUS”. If the MX-2424 is set to time code chase mode then the sample clock switches to “Timecode In”. This is displayed in Menu 003.
Ext Wordclock This setting is used when the MX-2424 is required to lock to a word clock signal connected to the WORD CLOCK IN connector on the rear panel. The WORD CLOCK THRU connector would be used if this word clock signal needs to be passed through the MX-2424 to another piece of digital equipment without added delay.
Dig In 1,2;Dig In 9,10;Dig In 17,18 One of these settings would be used if the MX-2424 is required to lock to the digital signal present at one of the three digital connectors on an installed multitrack digital I/O module [52]. For example: If transferring digitally from a TASCAM DA-78HR to tracks 9-16 of the MX-2424 this Menu would be set to Dig In 9,10. (NOTE: With this setting the digital clock is taken from the first two inputs of one of the three eight channel blocks: 1&2, 9&10 or 17&18.)
2CH In This setting is used when transferring digital audio into the MX-2424 through the stereo AES/EBU inputs [55] or the SPDIF inputs [54]. This setting may also be used if AES/EBU or SPDIF null clock is to be used by the MX-2424 as its digital clock source. Menu 462 2CH In Source is used to choose either AES/EBU or SPDIF.
