Hello, Community!
This post explains the procedure of how to commission IEEE 1588v2 on site. Please have a read further down.
PROCEDURE
1. Check configurations.
2. After completing IEEE 1588v2-related configurations according to the network design diagrams, check the configurations based on parameters specified in the Clock Configuration List for xxx Office. For operation details, see section 3.4.
3. Formulate a commissioning plan.
4. Determine a proper commissioning sequence according to connections of OTN equipment to BITS devices and PTN equipment.
First commission BITS devices.
Configure delay compensation along the BITS link and ensure that the source of delay compensation ports is BITS.
For a ring network, disable ports to trigger clock source switching and record the switching. After delay compensation at the standby clock tracing link is completed, restore configurations.
For PTN equipment where IEEE 1588v2 has been provided, configure delay compensation on all OTN boards before connecting OTN equipment to PTN equipment.
5. Start commissioning on site.
Start commissioning from BITS and determine a proper commissioning sequence according to site conditions. Commissioning at a site must cover all time/clock tracing links.
6. Perform short-term performance tests on site.
To test short-term performance after asymmetry delay compensation is completed at a site, boards can be reset (cold) after ensuring that services will not be affected.
For short-term performance specifications at each site, see theIEEE 1588v2 Verification Schemes for xxx FOA Site, which provides time precision requirements at each node and test cases.
Pre-test IEEE 1588v2 on site.
After all sites are commissioned, select some sites and pre-test IEEE 1588v2 according to the test cases provided in theIEEE 1588v2 Verification Schemes for xxx FOA Site.
7. Examine the pre-test results.
Examine the pre-test results and record equipment weakness.
This would be how to commission IEEE 1588v2 on site.
