the behavior of the WR Switch. Here are highlights:

Low Phase Drift Calibration (LPDC)

[placeholder for Greg]
The LPDC requires rx and tx calibration of each port. The tx calibration is performed
once for all ports at startup of the WR switch. The tx calibration is perform
each time a link goes up on a port (e.g. cable is connected). Rx and tx
calibration is indicated by blinking of @i

Note that the calibration makes startup of the WR switch significantly longer.
@item @b
{
Low Phase Drift Calibration (LPDC)
}
Low Phase Drift Calibration is a new feature added in release v6.0 that
improves phase stability between WR switch restarts to <10ps. Due to FPGA
limitations this functionality is present only on ports 1-12.
The LPDC requires an additional, automated calibration procedure to run for Tx
and Rx path of each affected FPGA transceiver. The Tx calibration is performed
once for all ports at startup of the WR switch. The Rx calibration is performed
each time a link goes up on a port. Both Tx and Rx calibration is indicated by
blinking of @i
{

}
LED (left).
The downside is that the calibration makes startup of the WR switch longer.
Similarly, the time between connecting a fiber and the link going up
(e.g. as observed in @i
{
wr

mon
}
) is noticeably longer.
