6.13.2.4 Debug Commands
sync-if-timing
Syntax sync-if-timing 
Context debug
Description This command enables the context to debug synchronous interface timing references.
force-reference
Syntax force-reference {external | ref1 | ref2}
no force-reference
Context debug>sync-if-timing
Description This command allows an operator to force the system synchronous timing output to use a 
specific reference. 
When the debug force-reference command is executed, the current system synchronous 
timing output is immediately referenced from the specified reference input. If the specified 
input is not available (shutdown), or in a disqualified state, the timing output will enter the 
holdover state based on the previous input reference.
Parameters ref1 — forces the clock to use the first timing reference
ref2 — forces the clock to use the second timing reference
external — forces the clock to use the third timing reference
system
Syntax [no] system
Context debug
Description This command displays system debug information.
Note: This command should be used for testing and debugging purposes only. Once the 
system timing reference input has been forced, it will not revert back to another reference 
at any time. The state of this command is not persistent between system boots.
