Overview The TimeHub 5500 continuously makes phase deviation measurements on each input reference. Network performance parameters based on these measurements are computed and updated periodically. Depending on the type of measurement, the time periods are either averaging time or observation time and are performed on a single input port or across all enabled input ports.

Overview Automatic messages automatically report network and system alarmed and non-alarmed events. Events are conditions that are detected by the TimeHub 5500. The alarm property of each event determines how it is reported, if at all. For certain events, this property is user configurable to control which automatic messages are generated by the system.
Alarm Event This message reports an alarmed event. In general, an alarmed event causes a standing condition and has immediate or potential impact on the operation or performance of the TimeHub 5500. The message format is: <sid> <date> <time> <severity>...
(Refer to the Performance Monitoring chapter for details.) The message format is: <sid> <date> <time> 0009 REPT PM TSG "<aid>:<montype>,<mondat>,<status>,,,[<meas time>]"...

Events Events are conditions that occur or are detected in the TimeHub 5500. Alarms are a subset of these events which have been configured, either by factory setting or by the user, to indicate an alarm and generate an Alarm Event (RPT ALM TSG) message.

Events related to input signals are normally only reported by the active clock card to avoid duplicate reports from the two clock cards (refer to the Report All keyword in the Keywords chapter). TimeHub 5500 TL1 Reference Manual Troubleshooting 097-55501-02 Issue 5: June 2003...
