17.7 Not able to do configuration through front panel Serial Console terminal
The serial communication parameters such as baudrate, parity, stop bits of console terminal are
fixed at 115200 baudrate, 8 data bits, Parity None, 1 stop bit. Also, set hardware flow control to
None. It is necessary to match the end device serial communication parameters as per
configured in
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 unit.
In order to configure
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 unit through serial configuration Front panel
serial console terminal, it is necessary to enter correct password (when asked for, refer
section10.2.1.) in serial communication terminal software of remote PC.
Note
: Password used for unit parameters configuration through keypad and serial communication
are different. If user have forgot its own configured password for keypad menu or serial
configuration menu, user should contact Masibus Service department.
17.8 Problem with getting unit LOCK to GPS satellites
1) It is always recommended to use factory provided antenna cable shipped with
mas
TER
T-
Sync
Model MTS200 unit. If antenna cable used for installation is other than provided with
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 unit, please contact Masibus Service department for
assistance.
2) GPS Antenna must be installed properly as per suggested in section 5.1.1 and 5.1.2.
3) GPS Antenna cable must be connected at the antenna connection on rear panel of
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 device.
4) Refer section 5.1.5 for antenna cable technical details.
5) Check Antenna cable continuity. Unplug the antenna cable connection from GPS Antenna
and antenna connector on
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 rear panel. Short the Antenna
cable at any one end and check the continuity at other end using Digital Multimeter. If there is
any break in continuity, contact Masibus service department for rectification.
6) If antenna cable is proper, refer section 5.1.3 for further diagnostics.
7) If
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 device is able to capture very less number of satellites
even if the weather and sky is clear, try to re-orient the GPS antenna or relocate the GPS
antenna so that maximum number of GPS satellites is visible.
8) NTP service should be ON because internal clock is synchronized by GPS receiver using ntp
driver.
17.9 IRIG-B / IEEE 1344 client synchronization fail
Following steps are to be checked for issues of IRIG-B synchronization failure or loss.
1) IRIG-B BNC cable should be tightly connected and locked at GPS rear panel IRIG terminal
and at IRIG-B client device terminal.
2) If IRIG client device terminal is other than BNC type connector, ensure that IRIG connection
is done with correct polarity at client device terminal end.
3) Total number of IRIG-B/IEEE 1344 compatible devices connected on the IRIG TTL or IRIG-
AM terminal of
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200 should be determined considering the
maximum electrical load capacity as specified in
mas
TER
T-Sync
Model MTS200
specification. Refer product specifications and section 11.2.2.7 for further details.
