Sync Source Selection The synchronization source selection provides a priority selection and revertive feature support for the TCA8000/8500 Timing Server. The selected clock source is used to provide the clock reference for the IEEE1588v2 (PTP) event messages along with the external timing ports that is, T1/E1, 10/5/1 MHz and Pulse-per-Second (PPS).
Page 218: Configuration Commands
The Ethernet port is required to be configured with the appropriate Ethernet and IP parameters. The TCA8000 Timing Server has two Ethernet ports. The LAN1 (eth0) is used for the IEEE1588v3 (PTP) network connectivity to the Timing Clients. For the out-of-band management network connectivity, that is Telnet, web interface, SNMP, and so on, either LAN1 (eth0) or LAN2 (eth1) can be used.
