• Two UL listed Ring Lugs for grounding connections
• Crimping tool to crimp a ring lug to the earth stud — recommended
• Shielded cabling of the appropriate impedance required by the specific signal type for signal wiring (including
GPS, and Ethernet)
• Mating connectors for terminating signal wiring
• ESD wrist strap — recommended
• Fasteners for mounting the device to your rack
• Cables and connectors for interfacing with relevant timing ports
• Tools for assembling cables if cables are not already available and fitted with required connectors - wire
strippers, crimping tools etc.
• Multi-meter or Voltmeter for verifying continuity in ground connections to the GridTime 3000’s chassis.
• PC with a SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) browser, or a supported web browser installed.
Provisioning Equipment:
• Device for performing configuration:
– A device with a recent version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox installed.
Tip:
The following browser versions have been tested:
Google Chrome 97.04692.99 (Offical Build 64-bit) , 98.0.4758.102(Offical Build 64-bit),
99.0.4844.51(Offical Build 64-bit)
Microsoft Edge 99.0.1150.39 (Official build) (64-bit)
Mozilla Firefox 98.0.1 (64-bit)
• If using the USB-C Admin port for configuration:
– Cable for forming a direct connection between the GridTime 3000's USB-C port, and the USB port on your
configuration device.
– For example, use a USB-C to USB-C cable if your device has a USB-C port, or a USB-C to USB-A cable if
your device has a USB-A port.
– Must be USB 2.0.
• If using the RJ-45 Admin port for configuration:
– RJ-45 Ethernet cables
(two needed if going through a DHCP capable switch)
– Preferred: DHCP server for assigning IP address to RJ-45 Admin port. Without this, you will need to wait for
the port to receive a link local IP address (~50 s), and you will have to assign a subnet link local static IP
address to the port on your configuration device.
Tip:
Additionally, it is also suitable to connect to the RJ-45 Admin port through an existing
Ethernet network with a DHCP server present.
– If your configuration device has no Ethernet port: A RJ-45 Ethernet to USB adapter can be used to connect
the Ethernet cable to a USB port on your device.
