Parameters for provisioning output port timing
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Introduction
The 1.5 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s and X.21 transmission ports are managed by a number of
parameters, which are related to timing. These parameters are shown in the functional
diagram below.

Acceptance QL
For each individual 1.5 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s, or X.21 tributary output port in the Re-Timed
mode, an Acceptance QL can be provisioned.
If the System QL (in case of system timing) or the QL-out (in case of independent
timing) falls below the Acceptance QL, the timing will go into the Fallback mode.
Fallback mode
If a 1.5 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s, or X.21 port is operating in the Re-timed mode and if the QL
Mode is enabled, the output is automatically switched to the provisioned Fallback
mode, if the quality level of the system timing drops below the Acceptance QL.
