1 Operating in standalone mode
2 Fixed copper ports using synchronous Ethernet can be used as a candidate reference or for distribution of recovered reference when the port is operating at a speed of 1000 Mb/s.
3 Supported only on fixed copper port
4 Supported only on copper variants
5 Supported only on combo ports with connection-type copper port
6 Supported on fixed copper port (either combo port configured for copper operation or copper port)
7 Supported only on 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE 64SFP+ 4QSFP28 for G.8275.1 profile
8 Supports two BITS ports configured as input or output
9 Supports one BITS port (that is, BITS1), configured as input or output
10 1pps and 10MHz output available only when PTP is used as a reference for the system clock
