NetClock 9483 Option Card Installation Guide, Rev.2
Section A: Introduction – NetClock 9483
The NetClock® 9483 combines Spectracom’s precision Time Server / master clock technology and
secure network-centric approach with a fully NENA-compliant, compact modular hardware design to bring
you a powerful time & frequency reference system at the lowest cost of ownership.
NetClock 9483 is ideally suited for applications such as Emergency Communications Centers or
environments that require extremely accurate timing and frequency synchronization for their mission-
critical systems, networks, and devices. When using GPS as its timing reference, the UTC (Coordinated
Universal Time) time standard is employed, thus allowing the NetClock 9483 to provide legally traceable
time and frequency synchronization services for various related environments and equipment, such as
the following:
•
9-1-1 and PSAP communication center telephony
•
Computer network synchronization
•
VOIP / voice and video recording
•
CAD
•
ANI / ALI controllers
•
Radio consoles and communications equipment
•
Display clocks
•
Security & building access systems, fire alarm systems
The NetClock 9483 also includes backwards-compatibility support with all previous generation NetClock
products; thus providing a bridge from legacy devices and equipment to network-based systems.
The NetClock 9483 series is a truly flexible Time Server / master clock, also supporting a variety of
timecodes (including all NENA formats) and signals to synchronize specific devices. The built-in network
port can be supplemented to include 3 additional Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) ports for
synchronizing isolated networks, or for restricting administration to a specific management network.
Precise 10 MHz and 1 Pulse-per second (1PPS) signals are standard features, and additional optional
features include support for T1/E1 signals are available for synchronizing Telecom systems and
equipment, and Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) I/O support.
The unit is housed in a 19” rack unit chassis and offers an integrated power supply. DC power is available
as back-up to AC power, or as the primary input power source.
