Description

The start-up behaviour of BCs is unsatisfactory.
A BC in holdover (i.e. grandmaster with no time reference), should not return to BC mode when the time reference is restored before its clock oscillator stabilizes to the new grandmaster. The tested BC when connected to the time reference (GPS) immediately forward the GrandMaster time advertising the accuracy of the grandmaster.
Otherwise, all slave clocks below the BC will be subject to the additional jitter of the BC’s clock resynchronizing to the GM.
This can be tested by disconnecting the BC for some minutes and then reconnect it to the grandmaster.
