Item Description
Alarm Relay Not used.
Grounding Lugs Tektronix provides a two-hole grounding lug kit with the AC or DC cabling kit.
The grounding lug must be installed on the IPBs to ensure proper electrical
protection.
Management Ports RJ45 connectors supporting 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet. Port 1 provides
network connectivity to LAN for communications to Iris Server.
GPS/1PPS Port RS-422 connection used for time synchronization with GPS source. GPS
synchronization is based on receipt of a 1PPS signal and the TSIP protocol (for
time of day and other data).
Measure the length of the cable from the IPB to the GPS receiver; you will need
to know this length when configuring GPS timing source in the IPB GUI to
achieve the expected accuracy. Refer to the IPB System Software Guide for
details about time stamping synchronization.
PTP Port Used for time synchronization using a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) source.
PTP synchronization requires communication with a PTP Master Clock server
over an Ethernet or IP network, where the IPB will be a PTP Slave.
1PPS SMA Connector PPS SMA connector used for time synchronization with Pulse Per Second
(PPS) source.
