Provisioning Revertive and Non-Revertive Mode
The revertive and non-revertive function allows you to select the action taken when
the system reference at ports A and B is disqualified and then re-qualified.
In the revertive mode, if an input used as the system reference is disqualified (for
any reason), the reference switches to the next-highest input and reverts to the
initial input when that input is re-qualified. In this mode, the reference switches two
times: once when the disqualifying event occurs, and again when the initial input is
re-qualified.
In the non-revertive mode, when the system reference is disqualified (for any
reason), the system reference switches to the other input but does not revert to the
initial input when the initial input is re-qualified. The system reference switches only
once when the disqualifying event occurs. When the priorities of the ports are the
same, the ports act in the non-revertive mode. If the priorities are different, the ports
act in the revertive mode.
Example
To provision the TimeCreator 1000 ports A and B for revertive mode, perform the
following steps:
1. Login at the Admin or Power-User level (see
