Table 23: Revertive, Non-Revertive Timing Reference Switching Operation - Alcatel-Lucent 7950 XRS Series Configuration Manual

Network Synchronization
The BITS output ports can be configured to provided either the an unfiltered recovered line clock
from a SR/ESS port or the output of the central clock of the 7750 SR. The first case would be used
if the port was connected to deliver an input reference directly to dedicated timing device in the
facility (BITS or SASE device). The second case would be used to test the quality of the clocking
used by the 7750 SR.
When QL selection mode is disabled, then the reversion setting controls when the central clock
can re-select a previously failed reference.
