Synce Ethernet Port Configuration - FibroLAN Falcon Gen-3 M-Class User Manual

Falcon M-Class | User Guide
SyncE Basic mechanism
The master switch receives the external clock which is a high precision clock.
In a synchronous Ethernet network, Ethernet data is carried over layer 2 whereas the sync timing
signals over physical layer 1.
All internal clocks should be synchronized by the external reference clock.
The Ethernet interfaces are designed with an internal clock which is synchronized by the master
external clock. SyncE enables the transport of slave synchronization signals within the entire
network.
The EEC devices are defined as Ethernet Equipment Slave clocks.
Ethernet interfaces are also able to generate their own synchronization clock in case they lose
the master reference clock (this situation is defined as holdover state).
The SyncE Configuration procedure for the M-Class series es includes the following display:
