ComAlarmDel defines the time delay for communication failure alarm. In communication systems,
route switching can sometimes cause interruptions with a duration of up to 50 ms. Too short a
time delay can thus cause nuisance alarms.
ComAlrmResDel defines the time delay for communication failure alarm reset.
RedChSwTime defines the time delay before switching over to a redundant channel in case of
primary channel failure.
RedChRturnTime defines the time delay before switching back to the primary channel after
channel failure.
AsymDelay denotes asymmetry which is defined as transmission delay minus receive delay. If fixed
asymmetry is known,
properly set. From the definition follows that asymmetry is always positive at one end and
negative at the other end.
MaxTransmDelay indicates maximum transmission delay. Data for maximum 40 ms transmission
delay can be buffered up. Delay times in the range of some ms are common. If data arrive in wrong
order, the oldest data is disregarded.
MaxtDiffLevel indicates the maximum time difference allowed between internal clocks in
respective line ends.
