Priority for PLL Clock Sources of 2nd External Output

When you need to use the line clock source of the equipment as the phase-locked source, you must configure the priority table for phase-locked sources in this user interface. You can also query and set priority table for phase-locked sources of second external output clocks and adjust the priority of each clock source. The available clock source with the highest priority can be used as the phase-locked source to lock the phase of second external output clock. An internal source can be assigned with the lowest priority level only.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, click the NE and select Configuration > Clock > Physical Layer Clock > Clock Source Priority from the Function Tree. Click the Priority for PLL Clock Sources of 2nd External Output tab.

Buttons

Button	Description
	Heightens the priority of the selected clock source.
	Lowers the priority of the selected clock source.

Shortcut Menu

Item	Description
Lock	Prevents the phase-locked source from switching. The switching of clock source is not allowed if the clock source in the lock status.
Unlock	Clears the lockout status.
Forced Switching	Forces the phase-locked source to switch from the available clock source with the higher priority to the available clock source with the lower priority regardless of the available clock source with the lower priority status.
Manual Switching	Performs manual phase-locked source switching from the available clock source with the higher priority to the available clock source with the lower priority. If the available clock source with the lower priority is normal, the switching takes place. If the available clock source with the lower priority fails , the switching does not take place.
Clear Switching	Clear the switching status.
Add Clock Source	Select available resource as the clock source.
Delete Clock Source	Delete the current clock source.

Parameters

Field	Value	Description
Clock Source	For example: Internal Clock Source	Displays the name of the clock source.
Other Fiber End	For example: NE2-Shelf18(subrack)-18-11ST2-2(RM2/TM2)	Indicates the port connected to the clock source by a fiber.
Current Status	Valid, Invalid	Displays the active state of the clock source. If the clock source exists, its active state is displayed as "Valid".
Lock Status	Lock, Unlock Default: Unlock	Sets the locking state of the clock source, which is usually set to Unlock.
Trace Mode	Internal Source, Line Source Default: Internal Source	To use the line clock source as a phase-locked source, the locked mode must be set to Line Source.
Current Trace Source	For example: 1-EM6T-2(port-2)	Displays the clock source that the NE is currently tracing.
Switching Source	For example: 1-EM6T-2(port-2)	Displays the switched clock source that the NE is tracing.
Switching Status	Forced Switching, Manual Switching, Normal	Displays the switching status of clock source.
S1 Byte	For example: Synchronous Source Unavailable	Displays the trace source of the current NE clock. For query only. This field displays no information until the S1 byte (clock protection function) is activated.
Clock Source Priority (Highest: 1)	An integer greater than or equal to 1	"1" indicates the highest priority of the clock source. The priority increases as the value decreases.
