Alarm Troubleshooting
The Holdover Synchronization Mode condition is caused by loss of the primary and second timing
references in the node. Timing reference loss occurs when line coding on the timing input is different
from the configuration on the node, and it often occurs during the selection of a new node reference
clock. The condition clears when primary or second timing is reestablished. After the 24-hour holdover
period expires, timing slips could begin to occur on an ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA relying on
an internal clock.
