4.9 SyncCenter Configuration

Overview

SyncCenter is a unique feature developed by Fibrolan, which clearly visualizes the system's clocks
and timing flows. It allows the high-level configuration and monitoring of inputs, outputs and
behavior.
Each one of the different inputs and outputs (e.g. PTP, SyncE) is configured and monitored in their
own respective detailed pages, but the overall control and relationship between them is handled by
SyncCenter.
Furthermore, SyncCenter allows both General and Hybrid modes. In General mode all clocking
domains (frequency, phase and ToD) are control by the same input(s) (e.g. GNSS), while the Hybrid
mode allows each domain to operate independently of the others (e.g. as a BC, with both PTP and
SyncE).

Mode Configuration

This section enables the configuration of the device's clocking system, with sync reference sources,
outputs and overall state.
The possible clock reference inputs (sync source) to the SyncCenter are: SyncE, PTP, NTP, GNSS, ToD,
TDM and External (1PPS and 10MHz). The SyncCenter will output the required sync clock according
to reference quality and priority.

Sync Source Configuration

Figure 4-94: Sync Source display
Up to 5 different Sync sources cab be configured including SyncE, PTP, NTP, GNSS, ToD, TDM and
External. Source priority can be set according to ID (default) of quality level.
