Spirent TestCenter: How can I configure SyncE?

Environment/Versions
  • Spirent TestCenter.
  • SyncE (Synchronous Ethernet).
Answer
  • Open Spirent TestCenter Application, reserve at least one port, and create an emulated device.
  • Enable the SyncE option under Technologies... > Carrier Ethernet.
  • Under All Devices enable the Active checkbox for the Spirent emulated device that will run SyncE and select QL-PRC as the Quality Level.
  • If you need STC to be the slave, set the Quality Level to QL-PNU.
Important:
  • Confirm the SyncE Option value matches in both, the DUT and STC.  In STC you can find it under:
    • The SyncE tab under the port.
    • The SyncE tab under All Ports.


The device with the lower Quality Level (QL) will be the master.  Please refer to the table from below:
