Power and Ground Connections
The TP5000 probe module uses –48 VDC power, which is provided through
TimeAnalyzer’s power distribution panel.
TimeProvider 500 Client Module
The TimeProvider 500 (TP500) client module shown in
provides a
client-clock function with the ability to synchronize to a grandmaster clock. To
perform the client-clock function, the TimeProvider 500 uses IEEE-1588 v2 as a
frequency reference to steer either T1 or E1 frequency outputs. The TP500 client
module can be configured and monitored using the Command-Line Interface (CLI)
accessible locally with the RS232 connection or remotely via a Telnet connection.
The TP500 Client module “translates” IEEE 1588v2 packet flow into two T1/E1
signaling outputs (G.823/G.824). The TimeProvider 500 PTP translation function
enables legacy Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)-based devices to transparently
send and receive critical timing and synchronization signals over a packet-based,
Ethernet backhaul network without requiring any modifications to their existing
hardware or software. TimeProvider 500 is fully interoperable with Symmetricom’s
TimeProvider 5000, TimeHub, and SSU 2000 IEEE 1588v2 grandmaster products,
as well as third-party grandmaster products that comply with the IEEE 1588v2
protocol standard.
Warning:
To avoid serious personal injury or death, exercise caution
when working near high voltage lines and follow local building
electrical codes for grounding the chassis.
