NTP Input/Output Connections
The S600 / S650 has four dedicated and software isolated GbE Ethernet ports,
each equipped with NTP hardware time stamping. These are connected to a very
high-speed microprocessor and an accurate clock to assure high bandwidth NTP
performance. See
Figure 1-9 . See Appendix E, IP Port Details for information on
Ethernet port isolation and management port rules.

Serial Data/Timing Output Connection
The serial data/timing port connection is made through a DB-9 female connector on
the rear panel of the SyncServer S6x0, as shown in
Figure 1-10 . When connecting
to this port, use a shielded serial direct connect cable.
The dedicated Data/Timing port is provided to output NMEA-0183 or NENA PSAP
strings. If NENA is selected, the serial Console port also supports the two-way
timing aspects of the standard. In addition, the F8 and F9 Microsemi legacy time
strings are available.
