Parameters for provisioning station clock output
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Introduction
The station clock output functional block in the network element is responsible for
selecting the timing source for the station clock output.
The different parameters in the station clock output timing block are indicated
graphically in the figure below.

Acceptance QL
The user can provision an Acceptance QL, applicable to all station clock output ports
(if more than one). This quality level is the minimal quality level value that is accepted
by the station clock output process. If the quality level of the signal for the station
clock output falls below the Acceptance QL, the network element “squelches” the
station clock output signal.
