signal or reception of AIS will cause the unit to enter hold-over
mode. The STS-1 receive signal must be valid for at least 10
seconds for the unit to exit hold-over mode and restore loop timing.
When the unit is configured for
F
REE
-R
UN
timing mode, timing is
derived from a +/-20 ppm internal reference providing a SONET
Minimum Clock (SMC).
Setting the unit to
E
XTERNAL
timing mode configures the unit to
derive clocking from one of the two external sources selected in the
P
RI
E
XT
. C
LOCK
and
S
EC
E
XT
. C
LOCK
options. These two entries
select which of the 28 active T1/E1 ports will be used as the
external clock source. The external clock source may be disabled (if
only one source exists, or no external clock sources are desired). A
valid clock source is one on which neither LOS or AIS conditions
exist. The selected T1/E1 may be a data carrying tributary. When
both sources are configured, failure of one source will cause the
unit to switch to the other source (if it is a valid source). Failure of
both sources will cause the unit to enter hold-over mode. At least
one external clock source must be valid for at least 10 seconds for
the unit to exit hold-over mode and restore external clock timing.
XCV Threshold
The
XCV T
HRESHOLD
(excessive code violations threshold) sets a
limit on code violations accepted by the unit before it switches
controller cards. If set to
D
ISABLED
, code violations will not cause
the unit to switch controller cards. The threshold limits are
described in the following chart:
Switching between

is non-reverting.
