n mac: The MAC Address.
n v4: The IPv4 Address, if used.
n v6 link: The IPv6 Address, if used.
The State of the physical network port device (not of the connection). An "Up Arrow"
means it is "running". A "Down Arrow" means it is "not running".

Management Port DNS Servers: Both user-entered and DHCP-assigned DNS Server
addresses that are available from the LAN1 port.
The SyncServer requires at least one valid DNS server to resolve domain names, which
may be used in NTP associations, and SMTP gateways (email). Without a DNS server, any
function that uses a DNS name instead of an IP address may be affected. These can include
NTP, password recovery, and email notification of alarms.

STATUS- Timing
Hardware Clock Status
Current Sync Source: The Input Reference currently used by the Hardware Clock. Consult the
TIMING - HW Clock topic for more information.
Hardware Clock Time: The time according to the Hardware Clock.
Hardware Clock Status: "Locked" means the Hardware Clock is synchronized to one of its references, or to the internal oscillator in "Holdover". "Unlocked" means the Hardware Clock
doesn't have an Input Reference and the Holdover period has expired. Also see TIMING HW Clock and TIMING - Holdover (on page 45).
Oscillator Type: The type of the oscillator installed in the Hardware Clock for operation and holdover.
For each of the following Input Status lines, "Locked" means that the reference is valid and
can be selected by the Hardware Clock. "Unlocked" means the reference is not valid, and is
therefore not available for use by the Hardware Clock. Also see TIMING - HW Clock to
arrange the priority of the Input References.
Some of these references are options or are only available in specific SyncServer models.

Receiver Description: "GPS" indicates the presence of a 12-channel GPS receiver.
Receiver Status:
n
n
n
n

n
n

Receiver Down: The Hardware Clock can't communicate with the receiver.
Unknown Mode: An undefined mode of the GPS receiver.
Acquiring Signal: The receiver is attempting to track a GPS signal.
Bad Geometry: The geometry of the tracked satellites is unsatisfactory for a position solution.
Propagate Mode: A position estimation mode used in highly dynamic environments.
2d Solution: The receiver is able to perform position fixes for latitude and longitude but
does not have enough satellites for altitude.
3d Solution: The receiver is now able to perform position fixes for latitude, longitude and
altitude.
Position Hold: Position fixes are no longer attempted, and the surveyed or user-entered
position is used.
Time Valid: The receiver has valid timing information from GPS satellites (including GPSUTC Offset and Leap Indicator). If the GPS receiver and antenna are set up correctly, the
receiver status should eventually reach and remain in this state.

Mode:
Survey: The receiver is surveying and averaging its position. When it has finished surveying, the receiver switches to Position Hold mode. Survey mode and Position Hold
mode are appropriate for static applications, such as a typical server room environment.
This is the default mode when the SyncServer starts.
n Dynamic: The GPS receiver surveys continuously to determine its position and doesn't
switch to another mode. This mode must be initiated by a user, and is appropriate for
mobile applications such as ships, land vehicles, and aircraft. The degree of accuracy this
mode offers is fine for NTP time over networks, but is less than optimal for the timing outputs available on some SyncServer models.
n Position Hold: The GPS receiver has completed Survey mode and switched to this
mode, or the user has manually entered a position and "forced" it into this mode. The
accuracy and stability of the SyncServer's timing outputs are optimal when the receiver
has its exact position and is in this mode.
Antenna Cable Delay (nS):
n

The user-configured value (on the REFERENCES - GPS page) to compensate for GPS signal
propagation from the antenna along the length of the cable to the receiver.
Antenna Status:
The GPS receiver supplies power to the GPS antenna through the antenna cable. It also
monitors the current to that circuit to detect open or short circuits.
n
n

Good: The current to the GPS antenna and cable is normal.


Open:The current is too low. The GPS antenna or cable is probably disconnected or
broken. Some splitters may cause this condition as well.
Short: The current is too high. The GPS antenna or cable probably has a short circuit.

Select a topic from below to learn more about the NETWORK features of the Web Interface:

NETWORK-Ethernet
Use this page to get status and configure Ethernet LAN port network settings, including DNS
servers.

Ethernet Port Configuration


Edit the network port configuration and view network port status.
EDIT: Clicking this button opens a dialog box for configuring the network port.
Pending Changes: A check mark indicates that settings have changed, reminding the user
to click the APPLY button.
Port: The name of the network port.
IP Address: The port's MAC, IPv4, and/or IPv6 network addresses.
Usage: These icons summarize information about the port:
n

n
n
n
n

(Checkmark): The user has changed the configuration, but hasn't clicked the APPLY
button at the bottom of the page yet.
(Management Port): This network port is configured as the management port (web
interface, SNMP, email, DNS).
(Up Arrow): The physical network port is enabled and functioning (does not indicate a
valid physical connection or configuration).
(DHCP): The network configuration is automatic via DHCP
(Question Mark): Status unknown - usually when there are pending changes.
(Number "6"): Uses IPv6
(Letter "B"): Configured for bonding with another port in a redundant pair.

DNS Servers
The DNS Server fields display the IP addresses of Domain Name Service (DNS) servers.
The SyncServer requires a valid DNS server address to resolve domain names. If a DNS
server isn't provided, NTP associations (NTP - Config) and the SMTP Gateway
(SERVICES - Email) must be specified using an IP address. DNS messages are only communicated through LAN1 port. The specified DNS servers must be reachable from the LAN1
port.
n

Management Port User DNS Servers: Manually enter one or more DNS Server IP
addresses here, if not supplied by DHCP.
Management Port DHCP DNS Servers (Read Only): If LAN1 has DHCP enabled,
and DHCP is configured to supply DNS server addresses, displays the DNS server IP
addresses supplied by DHCP. These values are not user-editable.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 27

Web Interface

Note: If the SMTP Gateway (which supports Password Recovery and Email Notification of
Alarms) and NTP associations are addressed using domain names, a valid DNS server
address must be supplied to the SyncServer.

Network Port Configuration


To edit the settings for a network port, click the corresponding EDIT button on the
NETWORK - Ethernet page. This opens a dialog box titled with the name of the port followed by "Configuration".
To apply configuration changes, click APPLY buttons on both this configuration window and
later on the NETWORK - Ethernet page.
Connection Mode:
n
n

Static: A user must configure the network port manually.


DHCP: A DHCP server will automatically configure the network port when changes are
applied. Not available for IPv6.
Disabled: This disables the network port.

Note: If the Connection Mode is DHCP and the lease expires or the SyncServer reboots, a
DHCP server could assign a new IP address to the SyncServers network port. If this occurs
with the LAN1 port, use the STATUS button on the front panel to obtain the new IP address.
Furthermore, if it occurs to a network port servicing NTP requests, NTP clients will no longer
be able to get a response from that port. In that case, the NTP clients would have to use an
alternate NTP source or become unsynchronized. For this reason, Microsemi recommends
using static IP addresses, only using DHCP for convenience during temporary installations.
IP Version:
n IPv4: The port uses IPv4 exclusively. (Static or DHCP)
n IPv6: The port uses IPv6 exclusively. The user must enter a static IPv6 address.
IP Address: The port's IPv4 address (e.g., "192.168.0.100") or IPv6 address(es) with
scope (e.g., fe80::2a0:6dff:fe00:10).
Mask: The port's IPv4 subnet mask (e.g., "255.255.255.0"). With IPv6, the mask is the
length of the prefix.defined in CIDR format (Classless Inter Domain Routing). Typically, the
IPv6 mask is 64.
Note: The SyncServer does not support masks on IPv6 gateway entry. While the user interface will accept/display a user entered mask, such as /64 for the IPv6 gateway, the underlying software checks for the entered mask and removes it, before sending the unmasked
IPv6 gateway address down to the lower level Linux system components to configure the network interface.
Gateway: The port's IPv4 or IPv6 gateway (e.g., "192.168.0.1"). This is an optional configuration parameter.
Redundant: Bonds LAN3 to LAN2 as virtual device with a single network address.
n
n

Active: The Active port handles network traffic. LAN2 is "Active" by default.
Backup: The Backup port handles network traffic if the connection to the Active port fails.
LAN3 is the "Backup" port by default.

Page 28..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

NETWORK Tab
Scenario #1
If the connection to LAN2 fails, LAN2 becomes backup and LAN3 becomes active. After
repairing the connection, the user can manually reconfigure LAN2 as the Active port. While
LAN3 is working, LAN2 will remain as backup. It is only if and when LAN3 fails, LAN2 will
become Active. LAN2 does not automatically replace LAN3 while LAN3 is working correctly.
Reconfigure LAN2 as the Active port:
1. In the "LAN2 Configuration" window, select the "Redundant" checkbox, select "Active",
and then click the APPLY button.
2. On the NETWORK - Ethernet page, click the APPLY button.
To release a redundant bond, deselect the "Redundant" checkbox and apply the changes. If
the bond doesn't release, reboot the SyncServer.
Scenario #2
Following scenario #1, the backup LAN2 is repaired and available again to be the Active
port. If LAN3 now fails, LAN2 will takeover as the Active port.
Scenario #3
Following scenario #1, the backup LAN2 is not repaired, and now LAN3 fails. Connections
are not available.
For more information see Port Bonding (on page 30)
Allowed Access: Restricts the LAN port to access by specified IP addresses or address
ranges. If the user leaves this field blank, the LAN port accepts connections from any IP
address. Allowed Access applies to all forms of network traffic, including NTP and HTTP connections. Reconfiguring the IP address of the LAN port erases the Allowed Access list.
The user can specify address ranges by setting the IP address followed by the mask prefix
length, as described RFC 1518 and RFC 1519 for Classless Interdomain Routing. The
mask prefix length specifies the number of masked bits starting from the left-most position. For example, to allow access from the network represented by 192.168.0.0,
255.255.0.0, the user would enter 192.168.0.0/16. In other words, the first 16 bits of the
address, 192.168, are masked bits representing the network address The remaining bits are
host address which is set to 0.
Note: When configuring Allowed Access, take care to avoid blocking DNS, HTTP, NTP,
SMTP, SNMP, and SSH traffic.

Side Effects
Applying changes to the Ethernet port configuration restarts the NTP and xinetd daemons
(services). During that time:
n

The NTP daemon, NTP stratum, web interface are temporarily unavailable.
The Status LEDs, NTP stratum, and Alarms change states.

Cables need to be attached to IPv6 configured ports


The NTP daemon rescans all interface ports every five minutes. If a cable is not attached to
an IPv6 configured port when the network settings are applied, the NTP daemon will not be
able to bind to that IPv6 port. If a cable is attached later to the IPv6 configured port, up to five
minutes can pass before the next rescan. At the time of the next rescan, the NTP daemon
would then be able to bind the port, and respond to NTP packets.
The solution to this behavior is to have the cable connected to the SyncServer IPv6 configured
port before applying the network settings.

Port Bonding
Setting-up Port Bonding (LAN2 and LAN3 not previously configured):
1. On the NETWORK->Ethernet page, edit LAN2 and configure as desired. Select the
"Redundant" checkbox, and choose "Active". Click Apply.
2. When the LAN2 edit window closes, click Apply on the NETWORK->Ethernet page.
LAN3 is now activated for Port Bonding, and shares the network configuration information you entered for LAN2.

Setting-up Port Bonding (LAN2 and LAN3 must be previously configured):


1. On the NETWORK->Ethernet page, edit either LAN2 or LAN3. Select the "Redundant"
checkbox, and choose "Active" or "Backup". Click Apply.
2. When the LAN Configuration edit window closes, click Apply on the NETWORK->Ethernet page. Port Bonding is now active.
NOTE: Selecting "Backup" automatically sets the opposite interface (LAN2 or LAN3) to "Active". Any previously assigned network settings for the Backup port are erased (because that
interface is now sharing settings with the "Active" port).

To Release Port Bonding:


1. On the NETWORK->Ethernet page, edit LAN2 (or LAN3), and deselect the "Redundant" checkbox. Make any other necessary changes (IP Address, etc.), then click Apply.
2. On the NETWORK->Ethernet page, edit LAN3 (or LAN2) to make any desired configuration changes, if any, then click Apply.
3. Reboot the SyncServer.
NOTE: When releasing Port Bonding, you will need to reassign the network settings of the
interface that was previously the "Backup" port.

NETWORK-Ping
Network Ping Test
Use this page to PING a network node from one of the SyncServer's network ports. This feature can be used to test and troubleshoot network connectivity issues. The network ping test
is supported on LAN1, LAN2, and LAN3.
To use PING:
1. Select the network port from which to send the PING packets. See "Ping 6 Command"
on page 33
2. For IPv6 networks, select Ping 6.
3. Enter the IP address of the host and click the APPLY button. Ping Output displays the results
five seconds after clicking apply.
Note: The approximate command line equivalent is "ping -c 5 -w 5", where "-c 5" means
"send five request packets to the requested destination" and "-w 5" means "timeout after 5
seconds if no responses". The network port that sends the ping request also receives the
responses.

Ping 6 Command
The SyncServer software executes the following command when pinging an IPv6 address.
ping6 -c 5 -w 5 -I <eth dev> ipv6address
-c 5 sends 5 ping requests.
-w 5 times out after 5 seconds regardless of the target is reachable or not.
ipv6address is the target address (Customer inputs this address in the SyncServer entry
box)
-I <eth dev> specifies the interface which corresponds to the drop down choice:
LAN1 -I eth0
LAN2 -I eth1
LAN3 -I eth2
LANG -I eth3
The drop down choice of the interface, suggests that it corresponds to where the ping6
packet will be sent out from. This is not entirely correct.
For example, the -I eth0 only means to set the source IP address in the ping packet to that
of the eth0, it does not specify which interface it actually will always use to send out the packets.
The interface the ping6 uses to send out the packets is entirely determined by the Linux
kernel routing table.
If the target Ipv6address is a link-local IPv6 address, the -I <eth dev> must also be a linklocal
address as specified in the way that SyncServer port was configured.
For example:

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 33

Web Interface
ping6 -c 5 -w 5 -I <LAN1> ipv6address
If the ipv6address is a link-local address, then the LAN1 specified from the SyncServer
drop down menu on the ping page must also be configured with a link-local address. If it is
configured that way then the ping packet will be sent out that LAN1 port.
If the ipv6address address is a global address, then the -I <eth dev> information is ignored
and the Linux kernel routing table decides which port to send the ping packet out of. This is
how it is possible to specify a global address to send a ping6 to, but not have the packet exit
the specified LAN port. It is because either the LAN port did not have a global address specified, or if it did, the Linux kernel chose not to send the packet out that port, but rather
another LAN port that had a global address assigned.

NTP- Assoc
Use this page to view the status of NTP associations listed on the NTP - Config page.
Also see NTP Associations in the Glossary.

NTP Associations
Remote: The domain name or IP address of the remote end of the NTP association. Hardware Clock is the SyncServer's Hardware Clock. In the case of a remote NTP connection,
this will be the IP address of the remote end.
The character in the left margin indicates the mode in which this peer entry is operating:
n

n
n
n
n

* (asterisk) the association with which the NTP daemon is synchronizing (the system
peer on NTP - Sysinfo), marked "synchronizing".
+ (plus) indicates the SyncServer is symmetric active mode.
- (minus) indicates the SyncServer is symmetric passive mode.
= (equal) means the SyncServer is in client mode, marked "being polled".
^ (caret) indicates that the SyncServer is broadcasting to the remote node, marked
"broadcasting to".
~ (tilde) denotes that the remote node is broadcasting to the SyncServer.

Local: The IP address of the SyncServer network port at the local end of the NTP association. For the Hardware Clock it is "127.0.0.1", the IP address of the loopback port.
St: The stratum level of the remote clock in the NTP hierarchy. Lower values are given more
emphasis. For the local Hardware Clock, stratum 0 is a special value that indicates the Hardware Clock it is synchronized by a "timing root" reference such as GPS. Values in the range
of 1 through 15 indicate the number of steps the remote NTP connection is from its timing
root. Stratum 16 is a special value that indicates that the remote connection is not synchronized. The stratum reported by the SyncServer is incremented by one from its synchronizing peer. For example, while synchronized to the Hardware Clock (Stratum 0), the
stratum of the SyncServer is one (Stratum 1).
Poll: The length of the interval (in seconds) with which the SyncServer polls the remote
server, usually starting at 64 seconds and gradually increasing to 1024 seconds. Valid values
range from 16 to 65535, increasing by powers of 2. The polling interval for the Hardware
Clock is fixed at 16 seconds. The user-configured Minimum and Maximum Poll Interval settings on the NTP - Config page limit this interval.
Reach: This is an 8-bit shift register that keeps track of the last 8 attempts to reach the remote
end of the association. New bits are added to the rightmost end of the register (1 for reached
or 0 for unreached) and old bits "fall off" the left hand side. The shift register is represented in
octal. For example, by converting "377" from octal to binary, one gets "11111111", indicating
8 successful polls. For a sequence of eight successful polling attempts on a new association,
the octal value of Reach increases as follows: 1, 3, 7, 17, 37, 77, 177, 377. If the value isn't
one of those just shown, there may be a problem polling the remote end of the association. If

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 35

Web Interface
the value remains at 0, or decreases to 0, the association is becoming unreachable. The
reach value stays 0 if the SyncServer is a broadcast or multicast server.
Delay: The total delay, in seconds, of the round trip to the remote end of the NTP association.
For example, a value of "0.07817" equals approximately 78 milliseconds. The Delay for the
Hardware Clock is "0". For most NTP associations, typical values range from tens to hundreds of milliseconds. The NTP daemon's clock selection algorithm gives preference to
lower Delay values.
Offset: The time offset between the SyncServer and the remote server, in seconds, of the last
poll. The NTP daemon's clock selection algorithm gives preference to lower Offset values.
The Offset for the Hardware Clock is usually in the microsecond range. For external NTP
associations, the offset is affected by the time base of the remote node and the characteristics of the network path, with values typically in the 1 - 10 millisecond range.
Disp: Dispersion represents the maximum error of the SyncServer relative to the NTP association. There are two components in dispersion, those determined by the peer relative to the
primary reference source of standard time and those measured by the SyncServer relative
to the peer. They provide not only precision measurements of offset and delay, but also definitive maximum error bounds, so that the SyncServer can determine not only the time, but the
quality of the time as well.

Is displayed at the top of the list.

Additionally, the factory default configuration includes three Stratum 1 NTP servers operated
by Microsemi on the Internet.
The user should consider adding NTP servers available on the local network to the list of Current NTP Associations.

Add/Edit NTP Association


Use Add/Edit NTP Association to edit existing associations or to add new ones. The SyncServer can have multiple associations, each with a different Role.

Page 36..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

NTP Tab
In the following explanations, the term "SyncServer" means "the local NTP daemon on the
SyncServer".
Role
n Server:
n
n

Addressing: Use with IPv4 class A, B and C addresses.


Description: Creates a persistent association between the SyncServer (client)
and an NTP node (server). The client synchronizes with the server if the client's
clock selection algorithm selects this server as the best clock. Typical server associations include: the hardware clock, the factory default NTP servers, and servers
added by the user. Also see system peer mode: client under NTP Daemon
Status.
Typical Usage: The user creates a Server association to designate an NTP node
that has an NTP Stratum better or equal to that of the SyncServer (client). Often,
the NTP server is another Stratum 1 server with a GPS reference that is outside
the user's administrative jurisdiction. The NTP servers operated by Microsemi
that are part of the factory default configuration are an example of this.

Peer:
Addressing: Use with IPv4 class A, B and C addresses.
n Description: Creates a persistent symmetric-active association between the SyncServer (peer1) with an NTP node (peer2). For the NTP node running in symmetric passive mode, there is nothing needs to be done on the NTP node.
However, the NTP node can be configured in symmetric active mode too. When
configured, the two nodes can synchronize with each other in a variety of failure
scenarios, such as loss of GPS and Internet connectivity. See system peer mode:
symmetric-active under NTP Daemon Status.
n Typical Usage: The user configures NTP associations on two NTP nodes that
point to the each other. The two nodes are usually of equal stratum and have independent references, such as two separate GPS installations or two separate network paths to NTP servers on the Internet. In the event of a reference failure, the
peers can synchronize to the node that has the best remaining reference.
Broadcast:
n Addressing: Use an IPv4 broadcast address of the local subnet. To broadcast
NTP messages on a subnet, if the local interface IP address were 192.168.61.58
and the mask were 255.255.255.0, the broadcast address could be
192.168.61.255.
n Description: Creates a broadcast server association. When configured with a
broadcast address (e.g., 192.168.61.255), the association broadcasts NTP messages from the network interface with the matching IP address (e.g.,
192.168.61.58). Broadcast messages go out to all nodes on the subnet, and are
usually blocked by routers from reaching adjacent subnets. Consult with the network administrator to select a correctly-scoped address and Time to live value.
n This type of association requires authentication on both the server and the clients.
See Using NTP Authentication.
n

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 37

Web Interface
Typical Usage: Broadcast associations to reduce network traffic with a large number of NTP clients.
Broadcast Client:
n Addressing: The user does not specify an address with this setting.
n Description: Creates an association that listens for NTP broadcast messages on
all of the network interfaces. Upon receiving the first broadcast message, the
broadcast client association initiates a brief exchange with the server to calibrate
the propagation delay. Afterwards, the broadcast client association listens to and
gets the time from the broadcast server messages. This type of association
requires authentication on both the server and the clients. See Using NTP
Authentication.
n Typical Usage: Broadcast client associations can get authenticated time on networks that have a broadcast server.
Multicast Server: Create a Broadcast association with members of a multicast group.
The multicast address is a class D address starting from 224.0.0.1. (The IANA assigned
224.0.1.1 to be the NTP multicast address.) However, user can choose any class D
address that is not used on the local network by other protocols. Routers can be configured to transmit multicast messages to adjacent subnets.
Multicast Client:
n Addressing: Use the same IPv4 class D multicast address as the Multicast Server
(potentially 224.0.1.1).
n Description: Creates an association that listens for NTP multicast messages on all
of the network interfaces. Upon receiving the first message, the multicast client
association initiates a brief exchange with the server to calibrate the propagation
delay. Afterwards, the multicast client association listens to and gets the time from
the server messages. This type of association requires authentication on both the
server and the clients. See Using NTP Authentication.
n Typical Usage: Multicast client associations can get authenticated time on networks that have a multicast server.
n

Note: When authentication is configured, the same authentication scheme is available for all
NTP associations and over all network interfaces.
Address: The IP address or DNS name of the NTP association.
Burst
n Burst: When the server is reachable, send a burst of eight packets instead of the usual
one. The packet spacing is about two seconds. This is designed to improve timekeeping
quality for server associations. This setting should only be used in agreement with the
administrator of the remote NTP device as the traffic load may be onerous.
n iBurst: When the server is unreachable, send a burst of eight packets instead of the usual
one. As long as the server is unreachable, the packet spacing is about 16s. Once the
server is reachable, the packet spacing is about two seconds. This is designed to speed
the initial synchronization acquisition with the server command.
Version: Specifies the version number to be used for outgoing NTP packets. Versions 1-4 are
the choices, with version 4 the default.

Page 38..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

NTP Tab
Minimum / Maximum Poll Interval: These options specify the minimum and maximum poll intervals for NTP messages, in seconds to the power of two. The maximum poll interval defaults
to 10 (1,024 s), but can be increased to an upper limit of 17 (36.4 h). The minimum poll interval defaults to 6 (64 s), but can be decreased to a lower limit of 4 (16 s).
MD5 Key: Use this field to authenticate NTP messages to and from the SyncServer for this
specific association. When enabled, the NTP packet header includes authentication fields
encrypted using either the MD5 key number (1 to 16).

NTP- Prefs
The settings on this page determine whether the NTP daemon, once synchronized, can
report an unsynchronized state.
Out of the three following stages of operation, the NTP - Prefs settings only apply during the
Loss of All References stage:
1. Startup: Upon starting, before synchronizing with any NTP associations, the NTP daemon reports to potential NTP clients that it is unsynchronized by setting leap indicator to
11 and stratum to 16.
2. Typical Operation: After synchronizing to an NTP association the NTP daemon uses leap
indicator and stratum normally. Leap indicator reports whether a leap event is pending
(usually 00 - no alarm). Stratum reports the stratum of the NTP daemon relative to the
system peer (system peer number + 1).
3. Loss of All References: If the NTP daemon cannot get the time from any association:
n With Standard NTP Rules (Factory Default) The stratum and leap indicator remain
the same as they were in the Typical Operation stage. The system peer remains
the unchanged, but the reference time stamp isn't updated and the reach statistic
gradually decreases to zero.
n With Override Behavior, if the estimated time error exceeds the Time Error Limit on
the TIMING - Holdover page, stratum reports 16 and leap indicator reports 11, as
they did during in the Startup stage.
After Loss of All References, if the NTP daemon synchronizes with an NTP association
again, it resumes Typical Operation.
Comments:
n

Given a pool of NTP associations from which to choose, an NTP client typically synchronizes with the best one, and does not require Override Behavior to declare an unsynchronized state.
Given a lack of NTP associations from which to choose, an NTP client may reject a SyncServer with better timing accuracy and stability than itself, if Override Behavior is
enabled.
The SyncServer's NTP daemon can get time from a server, peer, broadcastclient, and
multicastclient associations.

TIMING- HWClock
Use this page to configure the HW Clock.
See also: Steering with a Frequency Reference (on page 44), and Frequency Reference - Power-Down / Reboot (on page 45)
The Hardware Clock (HW Clock) provides accurate time to the SyncServer from one of its
timing references, allowing it to operate as a Stratum 1 Network Time Protocol server.
The SyncServer automatically detects and synchronizes the Hardware Clock to the highest
available reference in the following order:
n
n
n
n

GPS
IRIG
1 PPS
10 MHz

Page 42..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

TIMING Tab
Any available source for a SyncServer can be enabled or disabled via a checkbox associated
with the source.
Note 1: At least one clock reference must be enabled.
Note 2: See SyncServer feature comparison (see "SyncServer Signal Feature Comparison" on page 18) to see which sources are available for each model of SyncServer.
If the reference becomes unavailable, the HW Clock uses the next highest available reference in the list.
If no other references are available, the HW Clock provides holdover by "flywheeling" on its
oscillator until a reference becomes available again. During this time, "REF" on the front
panel TIME screen (press the TIME button) is "None", while the "NTP Stratum" remains "1".
REF on the front panel NTP Status screen (press the STATUS button) changes to FLY.
If no references become available, the NTP daemon gets its time from other available NTP
references. At this time, "REF" on the TIME screen becomes "NTP" and "NTP Stratum"
degrades from "1" to the stratum of the NTP reference plus one. For example, with an NTP
Stratum 1 reference as its primary reference, the SyncServer's "NTP Stratum" becomes
"2". REF on the STATUS screen changes to the IP address of the synchronizing peer.
If references that set the time (GPS, IRIG, and NTP references) are not available, but a timing reference (1 PPS, 10 MHz) is, the user can set the time manually. See the "Setting the
Time Manually" section below.
NOTE 3: When providing a backup reference source for the GPS or IRIG Input references,
Microsemi recommends using the 10 MHz Input. An unsynchronized 1 PPS Input may cause
the NTP daemon to disqualify the HW Clock and rely on a lower-stratum NTP reference
instead, if one is available.
Oscillator Type: The type of oscillator in use. Three different oscillator types are offered in the
SyncServer.
n
n

TCXO This is the standard temperature compensated oscillator.


OCXO This optional oven oscillator is more stable and offers better holdover performance than the TCXO.
Rubidium This optional oscillator is more stable and has better holdover performance
than the OCXO.

Forced Timing Source: Forces the Hardware Clock to synchronize to a specific timing source.
n

Auto: The SyncServer automatically detects and synchronizes the Hardware Clock to the
timing reference(s) in the following order: GPS, IRIG-B, 1 PPS, 10 MHz. This is the factory default setting.
Free Run: Forces the Hardware Clock to ignore all references. This puts the SyncServer
oscillator into free running mode. If needed, the user can manually set the SyncServer's
UTC time while using this mode. The SyncServer takes submission of this page using the
APPLY button as the on-time mark.

UTC Time: Enter the UTC time here to set the Hardware Clock. Available when "Forced Timing Source" is set to Auto or Free Run.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 43

Web Interface

NOTE 4: When a timing source or user sets the Hardware Clock time, the SyncServer synchronizes its Software Clock (a.k.a, the "ntpd" or "NTP daemon") and its battery-backed
Real Time Clock (RTC) to the new time. The SyncServer also RESTARTS the NTP daemon after any clock change.

Setting the Time Manually


When Forced Timing Source is set to Auto or Free Run, the user can set the time manually
from the web interface or the command line interface. An adjust time command is also available from the command line interface.
NOTE 5: IMPORTANT: If the user is preparing to switch from Free Run to Auto and the time
is more than 1000 seconds off UTC time, manually set it within 1000 seconds of UTC time
before switching to Auto.
Using the Web Interface: Enter the UTC Time on the TIMING - HW Clock page and click the
APPLY button. The SyncServer applies the UTC Time at the next internal PPS rising edge
after receiving the web page.
Using the Command Line: Open a command line session to the Console RS-232 port or the
<LAN*> network port and log in as "admin" followed by the password. Enter the
SETTIMEOFYEAR command followed by the time in one of the following formats:

hh = hours 00 through 23
mm = minutes 00 through 59
ss = seconds 00 through 59
x = fractions of a second

Steering with a Frequency Reference


To steer the clock using a frequency reference (1PPS, 10MHz), that frequency reference
must first be "qualified" by a valid timing source (see note below). To do this, connect the SyncServer to a valid timing source (GPS, IRIG-B, NTP Peer) then wait for the Sync Server to
lock to it. Once the SyncServer hardware clock locks to a valid timing source, all connected
frequency reference(s) will become "qualified" for Time-of-Day (TOD).

Page 44..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

TIMING Tab
Frequency sources qualified by a hardware TOD source (GPS, IRIG-B) will be stratum-1,
and will continue to serve stratum-1 time even after the original timing reference is disconnected.
Frequency sources qualified by an NTP Peer will reflect the same stratum number and Reference Id / IP Address as the source that qualified them, and will continue to serve time (at that
same stratum) if the Peer is lost.
Frequency sources not qualified by any valid timing source are stratum-16.
Note: If you do not have access to a GPS, IRIG-B or NTP Peer timing reference, then an
alternate but not recommended -- option is to force-set the TOD through the serial interface. This forces the hardware clock to stratum-1, qualifying any attached frequency references also at stratum-1.
Once a frequency source has been locked and is actively steering the hardware clock, that
frequency source can then be used to qualify additional frequency sources.
Example:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Lock to GPS;
Connect 1PPS to "qualify" it.
Disconnect GPS; 1PPS remains qualified and steers the clock.
Connect 10MHz; the 10Mhz reference is now also qualified with the same stratum and
Reference Id as the 1PPS.

Frequency Reference - Power-Down / Reboot


Power Down
Upon power down, the frequency source essentially becomes "unqualified" due to the real
time clock's (RTC) "time away" (no matter how long) from monitoring that frequency input.
The SyncServer now comes back up as stratum-16 and will stay there until it is re-qualified
with a valid time source.
Reboot
When the system starts up, it is forced to stratum-16. It can only ever claim stratum-1 once it
has been connected and locked to a valid TOD reference (GPS, IRIG-B, NTP Peer). Once
this happens, any connected frequency reference is then "qualified" to serve stratum-1 time.
See Steering with a Frequency Reference (on page 44).

TIMING- Holdover
Overview

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 45

Web Interface
The SyncServer uses holdover to continue operating as a stratum 1 NTP server/peer for a
period of time if the Input References become unavailable.
For example: A SyncServer in a downtown office building gets time from GPS. Surrounding
skyscrapers occasionally block signals from the GPS satellites as they move across the sky,
causing "gaps" that last several hours. The SyncServer uses holdover to continue operating
as a stratum 1 NTP server during these gaps.
The factory default settings are appropriate for most situations. However, the user should
consider extending holdover to cover the longest anticipated "gap" if more than one of the following conditions is true:
n
n
n
n

The SyncServer is the only NTP server available to the NTP clients.
The SyncServer only has one Hardware Clock Input Reference (e.g., GPS, Timecode).
The Hardware Clock is the only NTP association listed on the NTP - Assoc page.
Restoring an Input Reference would take longer than the holdover period in days.

Please note the Holdover settings on this page also affect NTP if Override Behavior is selected on the NTP - Prefs page.
Also see Stratum (on page 181).

The Settings
The user can simply set the number of days Holdover lasts, or specify a Time Error Limit. Setting either field generates an equivalent value in the other field.
About Time Error: When no Input References are available, the oscillator drifts away from
the correct time, accumulating time error. The type of oscillator affects how quickly time error
grows. The SyncServer keeps an ongoing estimate of the time error. Holdover ends when
the estimated time error is equal to or greater than the user-configured Time Error Limit.
The Oscillator Type affects the rate at which the oscillator accumulates time error when no
Input References are available.
n
n

TCXO The standard temperature-compensated oscillator.


OCXO The optional oven-compensated oscillator is more stable and offers better holdover performance than the TCXO.
Rubidium The optional rubidium oscillator has the best stability and holdover performance.

Several methods are available for the user to adjust Holdover or Time Error Limit:
n
n
n

Entering a value for Holdover Limit or Time Error Limit and click the SET button.
Sliding the green vertical bar on the Holdover graph left or right.
Sliding one of the black spheres under Holdover Limit or Time Error Limit left or right.

In Depth
Before entering holdover:
n

The Hardware Clock is synchronized to one of the Input References and reports Stratum
0 to the NTP daemon.

Page 46..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

TIMING Tab
n

The NTP daemon is synchronized to the Hardware Clock "reference clock" and reports
Stratum 1 to the network.

The Hardware Clock enters holdover when the Input Reference becomes unavailable and
no other Input References are available.
While in holdover:
n
n

The Hardware Clock uses the internal oscillator to keep time (flywheeling).
The NTP daemon (Stratum 1) remains synchronized to the Hardware Clock (Stratum 0,
Reference = the name of the last Input Reference).
The SyncServer estimates the time error (difference) between the oscillator-based Hardware Clock time and UTC.
If two or more synchronizing NTP associations are available and the Hardware Clock
accumulates too much time error, the NTP daemon "drops" the Hardware Clock and synchronizes with the best association, with a corresponding adjustment to its Stratum.

The Hardware Clock leaves holdover when one of the following occurs:
n

An Input Reference becomes available again. (As a result, the NTP daemon returns to
Stratum 1 operation.)
The estimated time error exceeds the user-configurable Time Error Limit.

If the estimated time error exceeds the user-configurable Time Error Limit:
n

If one or more synchronizing NTP associations are available, the NTP daemon synchronizes with the best one, with a corresponding change to its stratum.
If no synchronizing NTP associations are available, the NTP daemon's behavior is
determined by the settings on the NTP - Prefs page. See NTP - Prefs (on page 40).
The Hardware Clock synchronizes to the NTP daemon.

TIMING- Sysplex
The Sysplex Timer port outputs serial time strings for IBM mainframe Sysplex systems. The
Sysplex Timer provides a common time reference across all the members of an IBM Sysplex. The Sysplex Timer is a key component when systems on multiple CPCs share access
to the same data.
See Sysplex Out (on page 94) for specifications and more information on the format of the
Sysplex output string.

Sysplex Output Configuration


The Sysplex Out port located on the rear panel outputs the time of day once per second.
Autostart:
n

Yes: The Sysplex Out connector automatically outputs the time of day after system startup. The user cannot stop or restart the output by entering the "C" or "R" commands.
No: The user starts or stops the Sysplex output by sending the following characters to the
Sysplex Out connector:
n "C" or "c" to start the output.
n "R" or "r" to stop the output.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 47

About Sysplex and the Hardware Clock


To achieve the highest levels of precision and accuracy, the Sysplex Timer port gets its time
directly from the Hardware Clock. The Hardware Clock synchronizes with the highest priority Input Reference (e.g. GPS, IRIG-B).
If an Input Reference becomes unavailable, and Holdover expires, the Hardware Clock synchronizes to the time the NTP daemon gets from other synchronizing NTP associations (if
any are present). The default configuration includes three NTP servers on the Internet. If no
synchronizing NTP associations are present, the Hardware Clock is unsynchronized and
uses the internal oscillator to keep time.
The time quality character at the end of the Sysplex output string reflects the synchronization
state of the Hardware Clock. The user can select the time quality character used after holdover expires and the hardware clock is:
n
n

Synchronized to the NTP daemon, or


Using the internal oscillator to keep time.

This setting is called the Flywheel Quality Character.

About the Flywheel Quality Character


The time quality character at the end of the Sysplex output string has three states:
n

The first state is "X", time is invalid. The Hardware Clock has not yet synchronized to an
Input Reference.
The second state is " " (space), time is valid. Hardware Clock has synchronized to an
Input Reference, or is in Holdover.

The third state is "F", the Flywheel Quality Character. The Hardware Clock has no Input
References and Holdover has expired.
The time quality character can progress through a number of states:
1. After the user starts the SyncServer, the Sysplex port starts outputting a time string. Initially, the time quality character is "X" (time invalid).
2. When the Hardware Clock locks to an Input Reference, the time quality character
becomes " " (time valid).
3. If the Hardware Clock loses all Input References and enters Holdover, the time quality
character remains " " (time valid).
4. If Holdover expires, the time quality character becomes the Flywheel Quality Character,
determined by the user.

Page 48..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

TIMING Tab
5. If an Input Reference becomes available again, the Hardware Clock synchronizes with it
and the time quality character becomes " " (time valid) again.
Usually there is a short delay between the Hardware Clock changing state and the time quality character changing.
Here are some potential guidelines for configuring the Flywheel Quality Character (FQC):
n

The user sets the FQC to " " if one or more of the following are true:
n The SyncServer is configured with two or more synchronizing NTP associations
and the user is satisfied with using time from other NTP associations.
n The SyncServer oscillator type has superior time keeping properties compared to
the receiving equipment. This is usually the case since most computer equipment
uses uncompensated quartz oscillators.
The user sets the FQC to "F" if the receiving equipment can handle "F" as a time quality
character in some way that is useful and distinct from the " " or "X" time quality characters.
The user sets the FQC to "X" so that the receiving equipment to handles time from NTP
or the Hardware Clock internal oscillator as "X" (time invalid).

Troubleshooting: If the time quality character remains "X" (time invalid) even though Input
References are connected to the SyncServer.
n

Verify that the physical connection to the input connector is valid and that there are no
cable breaks or short circuits.
On the TIMING - HW Clock page, verify that the Input Reference is Enabled and that Forced
Timing Source is set to Auto.
For IRIG-B, on the REFERENCES - IRIG-B page, check that the Timecode Input setting
matches the input signal type.
For GPS, wait for the GPS receiver to complete the GPS acquisition process and
achieve "locked" status. Also see Operating in "Window Mode" (on page 102).

Also see TIMING - Holdover (on page 45) and TIMING - HW Clock.
Note: If the user sets Forced Timing Source on the TIMING - HW Clock page to Free Run, the
Flywheel Quality Character in effect at that moment remains in effect thereafter.

This page can be used to view or set the GPS receiver's Position and Mode, as well as the
GPS Antenna Cable Delay.
Status: Indicates whether the GPS receiver is a valid reference (locked) or not (unlocked).

Survey: In this mode, the receiver surveys and averages its position before switching to
Position Hold mode. Use this setting for stationary applications, such as server rooms.
This is the default setting.
Dynamic: In this mode, the receiver continuously updates its position. Use this setting if
the position of the SyncServer could change occasionally or continuously, such as
vehicles, aircraft, and ships. This setting provides lower timing precision and accuracy
than the Survey and Position Hold modes.
Position Hold: In this mode, the receiver calculates the time based on a fixed position that
has been provided by Survey Mode or entered by the user. Use this setting if GPS visibility is poor and the receiver has difficulty establishing its position using Survey mode
after one day. The accuracy of the user-entered position affects the accuracy of the timing solution from the GPS reference. Also see Operating in "Window Mode" (on page
102).

Position Entry: Allows values of latitude, longitude, and altitude to be manually entered. Once
the values have been entered, click the APPLY button.
Antenna Cable Delay:
Use this setting to achieve the highest timing precision and accuracy on the timing outputs
such as IRIG Out or 1PPS Out. This setting has a negligible effect on NTP synchronization
because the scale of the adjustment (nanoseconds) is not significant compared to millisecond latencies on typical networks.
The Antenna Cable Delay advances the Hardware Clock slightly to cancel out the signal
delay caused by the length of the GPS antenna cable.
To calculate the adjustment, select the signal propagation rate for the appropriate cable type
from the table below and multiply it by the length of the cable.

Save Configuration Settings


Beyond the login page, the user can determine the behavior of the web pages.
Warn when Navigating without saving Changes: (Enabled by default)
n

When this feature is enabled, the SyncServer sends warnings messages if the user
makes settings changes and navigates away from the page without clicking the APPLY
button. This reduces the possibility of accidentally losing unsaved changes.
When this feature is disabled, the SyncServer suppresses these warning messages.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 55

Web Interface
Updating the Configuration Backup File: (Enabled by default)
n

When this feature is enabled, the SyncServer updates the configuration backup file in
non-volatile memory when the user applies or saves changes to the configuration. This
may slow the web interface's response time, but ensures that the current configuration is
backed up and will be restored if the SyncServer is rebooted.
When this feature is disabled, the SyncServer does not update the backup file when the
user applies or saves changes to the configuration. This may improve the web interface's
response time to applied changes but leaves the backup file unchanged. This option can
be useful for keeping a "known good configuration" available while trying out experimental configurations. If the experimental configurations aren't satisfactory, use the
WIZARDS - Restore page to restore the known good configuration. Once the desired configuration is reached, manually save the configuration backup file to non-volatile memory
using the WIZARDS - Backup page.

Send Browser hint to not Auto-complete login page username / password: (Disabled by default)
n

Enabling this setting enhances security. It prompts browsers to suppress the "auto-complete" and "remember password" features. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized
users to gain access to the SyncServer from an authorized user's workstation or by
exploiting stored browser settings.

Passwords
Passwords must contain six or more characters, including lower and upper case letters, or
letters and at least one number.
With password recovery enabled, the user can reset the password to a random string from
the Login page by correctly answering the password recovery question. The SyncServer
then sends an email message containing the new password to the email address supplied on
the ADMIN - Users page.
The SyncServer must have a valid SMTP Gateway addresses for password recovery to
work. If a DNS server is not available to <LAN*>, the SMTP gateway must be entered as an
IP address, not as a DNS name. If needed, contact the system administrator to obtain this
information.

Notify: Does not raise an alarm (No change to Alarm LED color).
Minor: Raises a minor system alarm (Alarm LED = Orange).
Major: Raises a major system alarm (Alarm LED = Red).

Note: If enabled, Send Trap, Write Log, and Send Email operate in response to alarms,
regardless of Severity.
Send Trap: Sends an SNMP trap when the alarm occurs and ends. SNMP must be configured correctly on the NETWORK - SNMP and NETWORK SNMP Traps pages for this to work.
Write Log: Generates a log entry in syslog when the alarm occurs and ends. The log can be
viewed from the LOGS - syslog page.
Send Email: Generates a descriptive entry in an email message when the alarm occurs and
ends. The SyncServer compiles the entries over a 5-minute period and sends email messages at five-minute intervals, so an email alert may contain more than 1 alarm. For Send
Email to work, the SERVICES - Email page must be configured with a valid SMTP Gateway

and email address. If the SMTP gateway is a DNS name, LAN1 on NETWORK - Ethernet must
be configured with a valid DNS server address.
Note: When Clear Now and Auto Clear are used to clear an alarm, Send Trap, Write Log,
and Send Email do not generate notification messages or log entries.

Alarm Descriptions
Note: Alarm indicators for optional features or equipment appear when the related option is
present and enabled.
NTP System Peer Change Alarm: The SyncServer's current NTP synchronization peer has
changed.
NTP Stratum Change Alarm: The NTP Stratum level has degraded. For example, the NTP
Stratum has gone from 1 to 2.
NTP Leap Change Alarm: The SyncServer raises this alarm when the leap indicator changes
state. See STATUS - NTP (on page 25).
This change of state has two potential causes: The first is that the SyncServer was reconfigured, causing the NTP daemon to be restarted. More rarely, this can occur when the SyncServer is within 24 hours of a leap second adjustment.
System Network Alarm: Alarms if a configured port has no connection (network link). Clears if
all configured ports have connections.
System Upgrade Alarm: The SyncServer checks for software upgrades and raises this alarm if
a software upgrade is available. Microsemi recommends leaving this alarm enabled.
Microsemi recommends enabling Send Trap and/or Send Email for this alarm on the ADMIN Alarms page.
Note: In order to detect upgrades, the SyncServer must be correctly configured with a DNS
server and must have http access to the Internet through port 80. This feature is enabled by
default, but can be disabled on the SYSTEM - General page.
System Config Change Alarm: Generates an alarm if the system configuration has been
changed. If the Auto Clear is not selected, this alarm will remain pending until cleared by the
administrator.
System Health Alarm: The web interface has been unable to automatically save user configuration changes to the backup file. The user might need to perform a manual backup using
the WIZARDS - Backup page.
System Up/Down Alarm: The Syncserver has been restarted.
System Authentication Alarm: The SyncServer detected a failed login attempt on the web interface.
Timing No Source Alarm: The Hardware Clock does not have a valid timing reference.
Timing GPS Source Alarm: (Displayed on GPS-equipped SyncServers only) The GPS time reference is not providing valid timing information. This may be caused by:
n

An insufficient number of visible GPS satellites.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 59

Web Interface
n

The GPS satellite signals may be blocked from reaching the antenna, or are too weak to
be detected by the receiver.
The GPS antenna cable may be disconnected, broken, shorted, or too long.

Timing Timecode Source Alarm: The Hardware Clock is not detecting a valid input signal on the
IRIG In connector.
Timing PPS Source Alarm: The Hardware Clock is not detecting a valid input signal on the
1PPS In connector.
Timing 10MHz Source Alarm: The Hardware Clock is not detecting a valid input signal on the
10MHz In connector.
Timing GPS Antenna Short Alarm: (Displayed on GPS-equipped SyncServers only) The GPS
receiver detects an overcurrent condition on the GPS antenna cable. The likely cause is a
short circuit.
Timing GPS Antenna Open Alarm: (Displayed on GPS-equipped SyncServers only) The GPS
receiver detects too little current in the power supplied to the GPS antenna. The likely cause
is a disconnected or broken GPS antenna cable. A GPS splitter may also cause this condition.
Timing Oscillator DAC Range Alarm: The SyncServer is applying the maximum or minimum
DAC value to steer the oscillator. If this recurs frequently or over a sustained period of time,
there may be a problem with the oscillator.
Timing Rubidium Lock Alarm: The optional Rubidium oscillator, if installed, has not stabilized its
frequency output. After power up, this alarm may be raised for up to several minutes until the
Rubidium warms up and stabilizes its frequency output.
Timing Oscillator Unlock Alarm: The Hardware Clock's oscillator frequency is not locked to the
reference source.
Timing Source Change: The Hardware Clock has switched timing references.
Timing Source Change Lower Accuracy Input: The Hardware Clock has switched to a lower-priority timing source.
Timing PLL Unlock Alarm: The Hardware Clock oscillator's PLL unlocked.
Timing Time Quality 1e-6 Alarm: The Hardware Clock's estimated time error has exceeded 1e6 seconds (1 microsecond).
Timing Time Quality 1e-5 Alarm: The Hardware Clock's estimated time error has exceeded 1e5 seconds (10 microseconds).
Timing Time Quality 1e-4 Alarm: The Hardware Clock's estimated time error has exceeded 1e4 seconds (100 microseconds).
Timing Time Quality 1e-3 Alarm: The Hardware Clock's estimated time error has exceeded 1e3 seconds (1 millisecond).
Timing Leap Event Alarm: The leap indicator from the Hardware Clock's GPS or IRIG 1344 timing references, indicates that a leap event is pending. The pending event can be a Leap
Second Insertion, Leap Second Deletion, or Clear Alarm, which indicates that the alarm has
passed. See STATUS - Timing for more information.

Page 60..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

ADMIN Tab

Note: IRIG-1344 only provides a Leap Indicator warning during the last minute of the day of
the event. In this case, while the SyncServer will propagate that information via NTP, NTP clients may not query the SyncServer in time to be warned of the leap second adjustment.
LAN1 Link Alarm: A network connection is not available on LAN1. Note that if LAN1 is down,
SNMP and Email notification do not work and the web interface is not available.
Note: The Network LED indicates the status of the "LAN* Link Alarms". Please consult
Status LEDs.
LAN2 Link Alarm: LAN2 has lost its network connection.
LAN3 Link Alarm: LAN3 has lost its network connection.

Timing NTP Daemon Alarm: The NTP Daemon is no longer a valid source of timing to the Hardware Clock.
System Reset Default Config Alarm: Typically, during a reboot, the SyncServer applies the current configuration. This alarm is raised when the system failed to initialize itself to the current
configuration and it automatically restored itself to the default configuration. The circumstances are usually caused by missing or corrupted current configuration.

ADMIN-LogsConfig
System Log Configuration
Use this page to configure the SyncServers logging subsystem. The SyncServer uses klogd
and syslogd, the standard logging facilities. What is logged and where it is logged is based on
the options selected in this page. A default set of options is preconfigured that should provide
a level of detail sufficient for the majority of applications. Each entry is broken down into facility and priority, where facility is the part of the system such as the kernel or the application
daemons and priority indicates the severity of the message. The priority ranges from
"Emerg", which represents only very significant events like kernel panics to "Debug", where
even debug messages are logged. Messages are generally logged to different files to allow
easier parsing. The messages file is unique however in that its default configuration captures
all messages flowing through the logging daemons. But, due to the high volume of traffic, it is
cleared at each power cycle or reboot.
Note: Most users should leave the logs configured in the default manner unless directed to
make changes by Microsemi technical support.

Log Types
syslog: syslog holds messages about system level events. Examples of system events are
privilege changes (e.g., sudo) and messages about regularly schedules events such as cron.
auth.log: The authentication log contains entries regarding authentication events from login or
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module).
kern.log: The kernel log contains entries submitted by the kernel. Examples of kernel events
are network errors or hardware changes.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 61

Web Interface
daemon.log: The daemon log contains entries submitted by the daemon processes that
provide the services in the SyncServer. Examples of daemon log entries are NTP changes,
SNMP events, and xinetd events.
messages: The messages file is something of a catchall file. By selecting various priorities, it
is possible to capture large amounts of data regarding system operation. However, the
volume of data becomes impractical to manage quickly. As such, this file is cleared at each
power cycle or reboot.
events: The events log is not configurable. This log is maintained outside syslogd and contains configuration and event data related to operations performed in the web interface.

Log Priorities
In the case of kernel, syslog, auth and daemon logs, the priority specified will cause all messages less than or equal to the selected priority to be logged. The priorities are defined in descending order.
In the case of the messages log, only the selected priorities are logged. As such, up to four
priority levels are supported.
Debug: This priority level captures debug output from applications designed to produce this
type of output. This level generates a large volume of traffic and is not recommended unless
it is done under the direction of technical support personnel. An example may be a signal
handler called.
Info: This level captures informational output. This level typically provides information regarding successful operations. An example may be a successful file save or a normal application
startup.
Notice: This level captures transactional information. An example of this could be a network
connection or login.
Warning: This level captures information that is not expected by the application or system.
This could be something the system is not configured to handle. An example might be a malformed network packet or a drive change caused by inserting a thumb drive into a USB slot.
Err (deprecated): The use of this level is deprecated.
Crit: This level captures critical information. This data can often be used to debug the failure
of a system or application under abnormal conditions. An example of this may be a memory
error.
Alert: This level captures information about which the administrator should be made aware.
An example of this could be a failed login attempt.
Emerg: This level captures messages of the highest priority. These are typically last resort
messages before an abnormal exit of the calling application or the system itself. An example
of this would be a hardware error or memory exhausted message.

Remote Log System


It is possible to send a copy of all messages to up to 8 (eight) remote system running syslogd.
This allows centralized management of alarm messages. As the system logs are written to a
RAM based volume, messages may be lost if the system is rebooted or power cycled or

Page 62..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

ADMIN Tab
experiences an unexpected failure. They may also be overwritten if memory is low.
Microsemi recommends rotating log files, if needed. Specifying the DNS name or IP address
of a remote server will configure the SyncServer to send a copy of each message received
by the syslog and kernel log daemons to the remote address, if it is reachable. The remote
server can then be configured to filter the messages using its configuration file.
A complete definition of how Syslog is configured may be obtained by consulting the standard syslog.conf man pages that are widely available on the Internet.

Daemon
A list of the user controllable daemons supported by the SyncServer:
Web Server (HTTPD): Provides the SyncServer's web interface. If Auto Startup is deselected
and the SyncServer reboots, the web interface will not be available.
To start the web server after it has been stopped, open a command line session through the
Console RS-232 port located on the front panel or, if available, through a Telnet session with
LAN1 port. Once logged in, restart the web server by typing "HTTP on".
NTP: Network Time Protocol daemon. Supports all NTP functions.
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol daemon. Responds to SNMP requests and
sends SNMP traps.
SSH: Secure Shell daemon. Provides an encrypted channel for command line sessions with
the SyncServer through the LAN1 port.
Sysplex: Sysplex timing information on the Sysplex Timer-Out connector.
Time: Time Protocol requests per RFC 868 over TCP.
Time - UDP: Time Protocol requests per RFC 868 over UDP.
Daytime: Daytime Protocol per RFC 867 over TCP.
Daytime - UDP: Daytime Protocol per RFC 867 over UDP.

These services can only be controlled by selecting or deselecting Auto Startup. Applying the
change will then stop or start the service as appropriate.

System Control
Run: The SyncServer continues to operate normally. This is the default setting.
Reboot: Reboots the SyncServer. During this process, the browser displays "This browser
will attempt to reconnect..." When the SyncServer finishes rebooting, the browser displays
the login screen (provided DHCP hasn't changed the IP address).
Halt: Halts the operating system after about 15 seconds, typically. While the SyncServer is
halting, the web interface displays "Halting System - This browser session cannot continue..." and the front panel display states "Shutting down. Please wait...". Wait at least 15
seconds, and shut the power switch off.
See Services Startup (see "Startup" on page 176) default settings

SERVICES-HTTP
Web Server Configuration
The SyncServer's web interface allows both standard and secure (encrypted) network
access. Standard access is provided by default. To use encrypted access, a secure certificate must be created. The SyncServer can only use self-signed certificates.
Creating a new certificate overrides previously created certificates. The certificate values
used are not significant to the SyncServer. They are provided to any user using the certificate. All of the fields must contain values.
When a certificate has been created, the Secure log in option appears on the login page. The
entire session uses the selected communication method.

Security
Standard (Port 80) Only: The web interface is available using a standard non-encrypted http
connection. This is the factory default configuration.
Secure (Port 443) and Standard (Port 80): The web interface is available using either type of connection.
Secure (Port 443) Only: The web interface is available using an SSL-encrypted connection.
Note1: To connect to Port 443, the URL in the browser must begin with "https".

Protocols
If the secure port 443 has been selected, the following the security protocol selections can be
checked:
n
n

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 65

Web Interface

Note2: the default is to have both TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 selections checked.
Note3: SSL 2.0 exists only for the purposes of backwards compatibility on systems previously enabling this protocol. SSL 2.0 is a deprecated security protocol, and this option will
no longer appear on the SERVICES - HTTP page if at any time Port 443 or SSL 2.0 is disabled, or the system is restored to factory defaults.
Note4: At least one protocol needs to be selected. In addition, if at any time the protocol
being used is changed, the certificate will need to be regenerated. See the following.

Certificate Info:
Common Name: SyncServer's hostname, as entered on the SYSTEM - General page. The
default factory configuration is "SyncServer".
Bits: Number of RSA Key Bits, 1024 or 2056 bits. The default factory configuration is "1024".
Days to Expiration: The number of days before the certificate expires.
ISO Country Code: The Two-Character International Country Code.
State: The state where the SyncServer is located.
Locality: The locality where the SyncServer is located.
Organization: The organization or company the SyncServer belongs to.
Organizational Unit: The organizational unit or division that uses or is responsible for the SyncServer.
Email Address: The email address of the administrator responsible for the SyncServer.

LOGS Tab
System Event Log
The Logs page provides access to system activity and messages that are generated by the
various subsystems in the SyncServer. The logs are separated by function. The logging
behavior can be configured using the ADMIN - Logs Config page. Each of the logs records a
series of time-stamped events.
In the case of the system, auth, daemon, kern and messages logs, the entries take the standard form defined by the syslog daemon. These entries are:
date time system facility message: Here "system" is the hostname that generated the message. The "facility" is a component of the system generating the message. This could be anything like the kernel itself, system daemons and even applications. Finally, there is the text of
the message itself. Here are two messages on the system SyncServer. One is from daemon.log and the other from the kernel:
Sep 19 19:20:26 SyncServer ntpd[3577]: ntpd [email protected] Tue Aug 9
01:05:42 UTC 2005 (7)
Sep 10 00:06:18 SyncServer kernel: Jida-Driver installed

In the case of the event log, the entries take the form of:
Date time user source description

Here "user" is the user logged into the web interface, "source" is the IP address of the remote
system using the web interface and "description" provides information regarding the nature
of the event. Here is a message showing a successful remote login along with the user id and
IP address of the contact.
10/01/2005 22:36:28 admin 192.168.7.16 Successful login

Events: The events log is not configurable. This log is maintained outside syslogd and contains configuration and event data related to operations performed in the web interface.
syslog: syslog holds messages about system level events. Examples of system events are
privilege changes (e.g., sudo) and messages about regularly schedules events such as cron.
auth.log: The authentication log contains entries regarding authentication events from login or
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module).
daemon.log: The daemon log contains entries submitted by the daemon processes that
provide the services in the SyncServer. Examples of daemon log entries are NTP changes,
SNMP events, and xinetd events.
kern.log: The kernel log contains entries submitted by the kernel. Examples of kernel events
are network errors or hardware changes.
messages: The messages file is something of a catchall file. By selecting various priorities, it
is possible to capture large amounts of data regarding system operation. However, the
volume of data becomes impractical to manage quickly. As such, this file is cleared at each
power cycle or reboot.

n
n
n

Set SysLocation, SysContact and SysName


Set the Read and Write Community Strings
Add up to four v1/v2c Trap Destinations

Advanced SNMP configuration (e.g., SNMP v3) is performed on the NETWORK - SNMP and
NETWORK - Traps pages. Upon completing the Wizard, the new SNMP settings replace the
previous ones and the SNMP daemon restarts.
See also NETWORK - SNMP (on page 31) and NETWORK - SNMP Traps (on page 32).

WIZARDS-Backup
The Backup wizard guides the operator through saving the SyncServers current configuration to nonvolatile memory in the SyncServer, and optionally transfers the backup configuration to a remote location. The backup file can be used to:
n
n

'Clone' the configuration to other SyncServers with the same Software Version.
Restore the SyncServer's configuration if it is lost or becomes unusable.

WIZARDS Tab

WIZARDS-Restore
Use the WIZARDS - Restore page to restore a saved configuration from a backup file, or to
restore the factory default configuration.
Reset to Factory Defaults: Returns the SyncServer to its original factory configuration, removing ALL user-entered and operational information including password, IP addressing, GPS
position, and time zone. See SYSTEM - Factory Reset (on page 53).
Restore Last Backup from SyncServer: Restores the configuration as it was when the user created the most recent backup configuration file. The backup file is located in the SyncServers
nonvolatile memory.
Restore From USB flash drive: Restores the configuration from a backup file located on a USB
drive attached either of the USB ports on the front panel.
Restore backup from workstation hard-drive or network directory: Restores the configuration
from any backup file located on local or network drive accessible to the browser.
Note: Resetting or restoring the configuration reboots the SyncServer. If LAN1 is configured
to use DHCP, the DHCP server may assign a new IP address to LAN1. If needed, use the
front panel STATUS button to view the new IP address on the LAN1 STATUS screen.

See TIME Button (on page 73).

NTP Status Screen


Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon status.
Stratum: The Stratum number of the SyncServer. Stratum 1 means it is locked to a Hardware
Clock Input Reference. Stratum 2-15 means the SyncServer is locked to another NTP time
source. Stratum 16 means that the SyncServer is unsynchronized.
REF: This field identifies the "system peer". While stratum is 16, this field shows the progression of the NTP clock PLL. The field starts with a value of "INIT". Once a peer has been
selected, the clock may be stepped, in which case the reference ID field changes to "STEP".
Once the PLL is locked, the stratum is updated and the reference ID provides information
about the selected peer. When the SyncServer is operating at stratum 1, the reference ID displays the name of the Hardware Clock reference input. If the selected peer is another NTP
server, the reference ID displays the address of the server.
NTP Packet I/O: The number of NTP packets the SyncServer has replied to and initiated. The
SyncServer replies to clients that send NTP requests. The SyncServer also sends NTP
requests when the NTP daemon isn't synchronized (i.e., Sync LED is RED) and when it is
configured to synchronize to an NTP association (e.g., a Server type association).
Also see STATUS - NTP (on page 25).

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 77

Command Line Interface


The Command Line Interface (CLI) is available on LAN1 and the Console RS-232 port.
The user can connect to LAN1 using SSH or TELNET. By default, SSH is on and TELNET
is off. Use the SERVICES - Startup web page to change these settings.
The username and login are the same as for the web interface.
Note: Physical access to the console port on the SyncServer should be controlled. The interactive bootloader could allow a malicious user to override boot parameters and gain restricted access to the device. If more information is required, contact Microsemi Customer
Assistance (on page 3).
The CLI command structure has two levels: a top-level command set of system commands
and an intrinsic help command set. Commands are entered as ASCII strings typed at the
command prompt. The specific commands available at the particular tree level can be displayed by entering a "?" ("?" followed by "Enter" on the keyboard).
The CLI interface interprets the input on a character-by-character basis. As a result, only
enough characters to uniquely identify the command need to be entered for the CLI to recognize which command you want to invoke. The CLI also accepts multiple commands on a
single line when they are separated by spaces, so you don't have to press Enter after each
command.
It is suggested that commands marked "Use all caps" be entered in all caps. This helps prevent accidental entry of those commands.
The following Top-level, and Intrinsic Help commands are available from the CLI.

Top-level Commands
GPSSTRENGTH: (Status only) Displays the GPS satellite tracking information in the following
format:
N,X1,Y1,Z1,...,XN,YN,ZN

Defined as follows:
n
n
n
n

N = Number of satellites. If one or more satellites are available, Xi,Yi,Zi follows N.


X1 = Satellite vehicle number.
Y1 = Satellite signal strength in dBW where less than -200 dBW means no signal.
Z1 = Z1 can be either T or C:
n T(racking) means the SyncServer receives the information from the satellite but
the information is not used in its timing solution.
n C(urrent) means the SyncServer currently uses satellite information in its timing
solution.

For example, no satellites:


0

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 79

Command Line Interface


For example, one satellite with vehicle number 16:
1,16,C,-158

For six satellites:


6,12,C,-156,14,C,-155,8,T,-162,24,C,-158,18,C,161,6,C,-160

HALT: Halts the operating system. After entering the command, it prompts "Enter 'Y' to confirm". Halt the SyncServer before turning the power off. Action only command.
REBOOT: Halts and reboots the operating system. After entering the command, it prompts
"Enter Y to confirm". Action only command.
DEFAULTS: Replaces the current configuration of the SyncServer with the factory default configuration. After entering the command, it prompts Enter Y to confirm. The command also
halts and reboots the SyncServer. Action only command.
IPV4ADDRESS <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd>: Displays or sets the LAN1 IPv4 address. Without input, the
command displays the current IPv4 address. With input, the command sets the new IPv4
address. Query and action command.
IPV4MASK <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd>: Displays or sets the LAN1 IPv4 subnet mask. Without input, the
command displays the current IPv4 subnet mask. With input, the command sets the new
IPv4 subnet mask. Query and action command.
IPV4GATEWAY <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd>: Displays or sets the LAN1 IPv4 gateway. Without input, the
command displays the current IPv4 gateway. With input, the command sets the new IPv4
gateway. Query and action command.
IPV4DHCP: Enables DHCP for LAN1. Action only command.
IPV6AUTO: Enables the automatically generated IPv6 link local address for LAN1. Action only
command.
HTTP <on|off>: Without input, the command returns the current status of the SyncServer http
daemon (running or stopped). Use input on or off to start or stop the SyncServer http daemon. Query and action command.
DISP <time>: Resets the display immediately. Use in rare instances when display and keypad
freeze to avoid waiting (<24 hours) for it to clear on its own. After command is entered, it
prompts Do you wish to reset the front panel display? <Y/N>:
SETTIMEOFYEAR <time>: Sets the current time in UTC. The <time> input format can be any
one of the following
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.x
yyyy ddd hh:mm:ss.x
mm dd yyyy hh:mm:ss.x
hh:mm:ss.x

Enter the command without any input, it displays the allowable input time format. Action only
command.
ADJUSTTIMEOFYEAR <seconds>: Adjust the current time by a user determined number of
seconds. The input can be a positive or a negative integer. If the input is negative, the time is
adjusted backward. Action only command.
INTRINSIC HELP: Traverse to the intrinsic command tree.

Page 80..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Intrinsic Help Commands


Intrinsic help commands are commands that can be used in any tree level as a basic shell
command tool. Below is the list of available intrinsic commands.
pop: Moves the command shell to the previous level. When issued from the main shell directory (i.e., the root) this disconnects the session.
root: Moves the command shell to point to the main shell directory. This is a convenience command for navigating the command shell. The command root pop <Enter> disconnects the
session.
exit: Exits the Telnet client session while it is active. This command has no effect if it is
executed from a serial session.
trace: Displays the current contents of the trace buffers. Most of the commands currently do
not use the trace buffer facility. It is normal that the trace buffers are empty.
clear: Clears the trace buffers.
stamp: Queries the time stamp of the internal operating system clock, which is set to zero
when the SyncServer is powered on. The time stamp of the internal operating system clock
is in milliseconds.
history: Displays the last fifteen commands that have been executed.
pause <milliseconds>: Waits for user specified number of milliseconds and then executes the
next command if it is provided in the same command line following the number. For example,
the pause 5000 history command would wait for five seconds and then execute the history
command. Input any integer number as the number of milliseconds to pause.
repeat <count>: This commands repeats execution user specified number of times of a command specified before it. For example, the GPSSTRENGTH repeat 5 executes
GPSSTRENGTH five times.
# : (pound sign followed by a space) Creates a comment from the space to the end-of-line
character. This is useful for adding a comment to a command being recorded in a logfile. For
example, GPSSTRENGTH pause 1000 repeat 1000 # monitor GPS sats <enter>. Also,
the command could be used to simply have the system ignore the remaining part of a long
string of commands. For example, ipv4address 192.168.2.2 ipv4mask 255.255.255.0 #
gateway 192.168.2.1 <enter> will set the IP address and subnet mask but not the gateway.
?: (question mark) Displays commands available at the current tree level.

Command Examples
Below are a few select examples of commands.
DEFAULTS example
Entering DEFAULTS replaces the current configuration of the SyncServer with the factory configuration. Enter "Y" to confirm. For example:
1 ? DEFAULTS
Restore SyncServer default factory configuration? Enter "Y" to confirm:
Y

REBOOT example

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 81

ConnectingVDCPower
For units equipped with the optional 48 VDC power supply:
n

Use a 14 amp DC circuit breaker in series with the DC power source. Do not connect the
unit directly to a DC power source without the breaker.
Provide a circuit disconnect in series with the VDC Power input. The SyncServer DC
option does not include a power switch
The minimum recommended wire size is 14 AWG (1.5mm2) for DC power source hook
up. Dont forget to tighten the terminal screws on the input power block.
The VDC Power supply in the SyncServer is DC isolated. The VDC Power inputs are
polarity protected so reversed DC connections will not power the unit but will also not
harm the unit.
Connect VDC Power to the PRI or optionally the SEC set of terminals observing correct
polarity (+, -). The SEC set of terminals has been provided for connections to a secondary power source. Note that the PRI and SEC power connections are simply diode
ORed, so the highest voltage source will be powering the unit.

The PRI and SEC ground terminals on the VDC Power input block are connected to the
chassis. These terminals are normally used to connect to the VDC Power return line.
Note: The 48 VDC Operation Model is supplied with two 48 VDC inputs to accommodate
input from an alternate VDC Power Source. Because of diode switching, the polarity can be
plus-plus, plus-minus, minus-plus, or minus-minus.

UsingGPS
This section guides the user through the process of selecting a good site for the GPS
antenna, installing the antenna, and how to use GPS when a good site isn't available.

Safety Considerations
n

n
n
n
n

Avoid electrocution and RF safety hazards such as power lines and high-energy radio
transmission antennas.
Where potential hazards exist, have a qualified technician perform the installation.
Observe local codes and regulations.
Use a lightning arrestor when needed.
Antennas not rated for 12 VDC may be damaged when connected to the SyncServer.
The GPS antenna supplied with the Receiver is rated for 12 VDC.
Safe Antenna and Cable Connection: An outside antenna or cable system must be properly
grounded to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (In Canada, part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code) provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Keep Antenna Clear of High Voltage Power Lines or Circuits: Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch
these power sources should it ever fail. When installing an antenna, absolutely never
touch power lines, circuits, or other power sources, as this could be fatal.

Selecting a Site for the Antenna


Roof Antenna Placement: When selecting a site for the roof antenna, find an outdoor location
that provides the best visibility of the sky and horizon. In most cases, this means locating the
antenna in a high location, such as a roof top. Avoid obstructions that could block GPS satellite signals and delay acquisition.
A short mounting mast and hose clamps are provided with the roof antenna to mount the
antenna to a pole or the peak of a building. The antenna mounting mast and clamps are well

Page 100..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Installation Guide
suited to attach the antenna to a vent pipe or mast affixed to the roof. The pipe must be rigid
and able to withstand high winds without flexing.

A typical roof antenna mounting.


GPS Receivers can be susceptible to reflected GPS signals called multipath signals. Multipath interference is caused by reflected signals that arrive at the antenna out of phase with
the direct signal. This interference is most pronounced at low elevation angles from 10 to 20
degrees above the horizon. The height of the mast/antenna may be extended upward to
lessen multipath interference. The antenna should also be at least three to six feet (1-2 m)
from a reflecting surface.
Use the criteria below to select a good outdoor site for the GPS antenna.
The best locations provide:
n
n

n
n
n

Unobstructed views of the sky and horizon.


Low electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) - away
from high-power lines, transmitting antennas, and powerful electrical equipment.
Convenient access for installation and maintenance.
Reasonable access for the antenna cable to reach the SyncServer.
Safety from hazards to people and equipment.

Avoid:

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 101

Tasks
n

Radio towers may require the services of a specialist, and may be subject to signal interference.
Must be able to withstand very high winds.

If a good site is not available, consult Operating in "Window Mode" (on page 102).

Installing the GPS Antenna


1. Observe all relevant safety precautions and building code regulations. Avoid:
n Electrocution, RF, lightning, and falling hazards.
n RFI and EMI sources such as transmitting antennas.
n Crimping or making sharp bends in the cable.
2. Mount the standard L1 GPS antenna at the selected site:
n Position the GPS antenna vertically, with its top pointing toward the sky, and the
PVC mounting mast and connector pointing down.
n Secure the PVC mounting mast to the structure using the pipe clamps provided
with the antenna kit.
3. Run the antenna cable or cables to the SyncServer. Use a lightning arrestor and grounding, as required to meet building and safety codes.
4. Connect the antenna cable to the GPS Ant connector on the rear panel.
Note: Microsemi recommends posting a "Do not paint" notice to prevent the GPS antenna
from being painted accidentally.
Tips:
n

The user can access the connector underneath the GPS antenna by removing the four
recessed screws in the lower half of the GPS antenna with a Phillips-head screwdriver. It
is a relatively easy task and does not violate the weatherproofing design of the antenna.
Typically, users do this to attach an optional in-line amplifier inside the PVC mounting
mast or to replace the standard cable with a longer one. (Avoid unscrewing the PVC
mounting mast from the base of the GPS antenna as this may require a vice and lots of
torque.)
When extending the length of the cable, observe the recommended configurations in
GPS Cable Configurations/Options (see "Distance Between Antenna and Receiver"
on page 105). Avoid exceeding the recommended lengths by combining the standard 50
foot (15.24 m) cable with the extended-length cable.

Operating in "Window Mode"


The SyncServer Network Time Servers can provide can provide excellent synchronization to
UTC if the GPS receiver has an accurate fix on its position and one current GPS satellite
most of the time. This capability is known as Window Mode.
When a good antenna site isn't available, the user may be able to use sites with limited visibility of GPS satellites and reduced signal strength, such as:
n
n

Indoors, in a window or skylight.


Outdoors, on a balcony railing, building corner, or surrounded by tall structures (limited
view)

Page 102..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Installation Guide

Window Antenna Placement


For window mounted antenna installations, use the window with the best view of the sky. For
windows with equivalent views, orientations that face the equator are preferred. Generally
more satellites will be in view toward the equator than away from it. East or west facing windows will also work. Polar facing windows will also work but in general are not preferred. Windows that have the best view of the sky are always preferred regardless of orientation.

A typical window mounting with the antenna is shown in the preferred window.

Guidelines
For best results with window mode:
n
n

n
n

Position the antenna near the lower windowsill. This improves upward visibility of the sky.
If multiple sites are available, choose the one with the widest view of the sky and tilt the
antenna toward the "opening".
On the side of a building, the corners offer better visibility (270 degrees) than flat walls
(180 degrees).
A SyncServer equipped with the high-stability Rubidium oscillator option can provide precise time for extended periods while GPS is unavailable.
Secure the antenna so it won't fall or get knocked out of position.
To improve signal strength, test different window locations, shorten the antenna cable
length, avoid unnecessary connectors, and use an in-line amplifier option. (Signal
strength is visible on the STATUS - GPS page.)
Avoid windows with metallic film coatings, window blinds, overhead obstructions, and
foliage, all of which can block GPS signals.
Verify that the NTP - Associations page is configured with valid NTP servers or peers that
the SyncServer can rely on if GPS is unavailable.

Configuring Window Mode


After setting up the antenna:

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 103

Tasks
1. On the TIMING - Holdover page, set the Time Error Limit (milliseconds) to the highest
acceptable value for absolute timing error (to UTC). Microsemi recommends a value
greater than or equal to 4 milliseconds.
2. On the STATUS - GPS page, if the GPS receiver has a valid position (latitude, longitude, altitude), the user can skip to step 3. Otherwise:
n Determine the approximate latitude, longitude, and altitude of the GPS antenna.
This can be done using a handheld GPS device, an online reference such as
Google Earth, or by looking up the Latitude and Longitude information provided
on the SyncServer Product Information CD-ROM.
n On the REFERENCES - GPS page, enter the approximate latitude, longitude, and altitude.
3. Set the Mode to Position Hold and click the APPLY button.

Other Considerations
The accuracy of the user-entered position affects the timing accuracy of the GPS reference.
When GPS status is locked:
Position Accuracy

Timing Accuracy

< 50 m (< 164 feet)


< 1 km (< 0.62 mile)
< 10 km (< 6.2 miles)

< 0.005 ms
< 0.1 ms
< 1.0 ms

During window mode operation, if the GPS receiver is not locked to any satellites and no
other Input References are available, the GPS receiver enters holdover mode and is subject
to oscillator drift. Also see Oscillators (see "Timing Holdover" on page 85).

Verifying the GPS Installation


Verify the GPS antenna installation:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Press the STATUS button on the front panel.


Press the up arrow button to display the GPS STATUS screen.
When the number of Satellites is equal or greater than "4", Status should be Locked.
With GPS locked, the SYNC LED on the front panel should be green within approximately
15 minutes.

This can also be accomplished in the web interface using the STATUS - GPS page.
Verify synchronization over a 24-hour period to ensure that the GPS antenna installation
meets requirements. This can be accomplished by:

Distance Between Antenna and Receiver


GPS satellites signals operate in the L1 band (1575.42 MHz). Practically speaking the
antenna must have an unobstructed view of the sky and thus be mounted on a roof, or in
some cases in a window. GPS provides continuous operation day and night.
Since the GPS signal is very weak, the antenna amplifies the signal to drive it through the
cable to the receiver. Antenna cable however offers some resistance and the GPS signal
strength will attenuate as it travels down the cable. GPS receiver sensitivity is finite so if the
cable length is too long the signal will be too weak for the receiver to detect it. Consequently it
is very important to know the distance in advance between the antenna and the receiver so
that the proper cable solution can be installed.
Antenna cabling solutions typically vary depending on how far the antenna is installed from
the GPS receiver. Antenna cable runs are supported from the standard 50 ft (15m) to over
1500 ft. (457 m). 150 feet (45 m) is the unaided cable length limit for many GPS timing receivers from Microsemi.
Adding a GPS inline amplifier extends the cable length an additional 150 feet (45 m) up to a
total of up to 300 ft. (90 m). The inline amplifier installs in-line with the antenna cable, using
the existing antenna power. No extra wiring is required.
The GPS Down/Up converter makes cable runs of 250 to 1500 feet (75 m to 457 m) possible
using a special GPS antenna that converts the signal to a lower frequency less susceptible to
attenuation, and transmitting it the length of the cable, powered by an external power supply.
An external power supply is provided with the GPS Down/Up converter.
The following diagram gives a summary of the cabling solutions for different distances
between the antenna and receiver. For more specific cabling information see Cabling
between the receiver and antenna:

Configuring GPS for Various Conditions


This topic guides the user on how to configure the GPS receiver to operate under a variety of
conditions, including reduced GPS satellite availability and mobile applications.
In all cases, Microsemi recommends configuring the SyncServer with multiple references
and/or NTP server associations to provide synchronization if a single reference such as GPS
becomes unavailable.
To configure the mode and enter the position of the GPS receiver/antenna, use the
REFERENCES - GPS page.
To determine the number of "current" GPS satellites, use the STATUS - GPS page.

Stationary Applications
If the GPS antenna is in a location that provides 4 or more "current" GPS satellites on a continuous basis, Microsemi recommends letting the SyncServer operate in its factory configuration. In that configuration, when the SyncServer starts, the GPS receiver comes up in
Survey mode. Upon locking to four or more GPS satellites the receiver determines and averages its position. After averaging the position it shifts to Position Hold mode. The user can
expect this type of operation when the GPS antenna is mounted outdoors in a high location
that provides good clear unobstructed views of the sky and horizon in all directions.
The lack of 4 "current" GPS satellites for sufficient durations may delay or prevent the GPS
receiver from determining its position and entering Position Hold. If the GPS antenna is in a
location that continuously provides 1 or more "current" GPS satellites, the SyncServer can
provide excellent synchronization to UTC once it has an accurate position and is in Position
Hold mode. Therefore, Microsemi recommends that the user perform the following actions
(in order of priority):
n

Move the GPS antenna to a location that provides better visibility of GPS satellites and
improves the strength/quality of GPS signals reaching the GPS antenna input connector.
Consult the Selecting a Site for the Antenna (on page 100) topics.
Determine and enter SyncServer's position, then put the GPS receiver in Position Hold
mode. Consult the Latitude and Longitude (see "Determining Latitude and Longitude"
on page 147) topic.
Let the SyncServer operate for 24 hours to see if it can determine its position and transition into Position Hold unaided.

If the number of "current" GPS satellites drops to zero, and every effort has been made to
remedy this situation, the user may consider the following actions:
n

Using a SyncServer equipped with a higher-stability oscillator, such as the OCXO or


Rubidium.

Page 106..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Installation Guide
n

Setting the Time Error Limit to the highest value that meets the requirements of the application for which the SyncServer is being used. In this case, Microsemi recommends 4 milliseconds as an acceptable value for NTP synchronization.

Mobile Applications
If the SyncServer might be transported while operating, put the GPS receiver in Dynamic
mode. In this mode, the GPS receiver continuously updates its position. This provides:
n
n

Much greater timing accuracy than Position Hold for mobile operation
Less timing accuracy than Position Hold for stationary operation. If the SyncServer is
being used primarily for NTP synchronization, this decrease is negligible compared to the
timing latency on most networks. If the SyncServer's other timing outputs are being used,
the user should perform field tests to ensure that accuracy meets the requirements of the
application.

Note: Avoid using Position Hold while operating the SyncServer from a location that is different from the one that the GPS receiver has. Doing so introduces timing errors that
increase with the size of the difference of the latitude, longitude and altitude readings
between the SyncServer and the GPS receiver.

UpgradingSystem Software
Overview of the Software Upgrade Process
In its factory default configuration, the SyncServer automatically checks for software
upgrades every weekday shortly after noon local time. If an upgrade is available, the SyncServer generates a System Upgrade Alarm.
The user responding to the alarm logs into the web interface. The status bar at the top of the
window may show that an alarm has been triggered, and on the STATUS - General page,
"Release Version" states that an upgrade is available.
Before upgrading, as a precaution, the user should back up the configuration of the SyncServer (WIZARDS - Backup). Normally, the SyncServer transfers its settings from one version of the software to the next. However, if the upgrade process is interrupted (e.g., loss of
power), the settings may be lost. Having the backup makes it possible to restore the previous
settings if that happens.
The user downloads the software upgrade file from the Microsemi web site to their workstation and then follows the steps given below for upgrading the software on the SyncServer.
Note: Please avoid decompressing the *.tar upgrade file prior to upgrading the SyncServer.
For security, the SyncServer will reject any file that has been modified or decompressed and
recompressed. If needed, download a new software file from Microsemi.

Prerequisites for the System Upgrade Alarm to Work


The SyncServer notifies the user when a software upgrade is available, provided all of the following items are true:

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 107

Tasks
n

The Check for software upgrades setting is enabled on the SYSTEM - General page (factory default = enabled).
The LAN1 port is configured correctly and has a DNS server on the NETWORK - Ethernet
page (typically configured during installation).
The LAN1 port can reach Microsemi.com on the Internet using port 80. Most proxy servers and firewall devices allow this type of traffic, but some may be configured to block it.
Consult your network administrator for more information.
The System Upgrade Alarm and its notification settings are enabled on the ADMIN Alarms page (factory defaults = enabled).
The user is reachable by one or more of the Alarm notification methods: email, Alarm

AddingNTPServerstothe NTPAssociationsList
About NTP Associations
The SyncServer's factory configuration includes three NTP associations:
n

The Hardware Clock makes a timing reference source (e.g., GPS, Timecode) available to
the NTP daemon as an NTP association. The Hardware Clock NTP association is
always preferred and cannot be edited or deleted. See TIMING - HW Clock (on page
42) for more information.

Having multiple associations is important for obtaining the best reliability and accuracy from
the SyncServer's NTP daemon. The SyncServer uses the NTP associations to qualify one
another; synchronizing with the best one and rejecting any that provide the incorrect time. If
the Hardware Clock runs without an Input Reference for a sustained period of time, the SyncServer synchronizes with one of the NTP servers instead.

Configuring NTP Associations


If the following conditions are true, the user does not need to reconfigure NTP:
n
n
n

Installation Guide

AddingServerAssociations
NTP server and peer associations provide an important backup source of time if the SyncServer's Input References are unavailable. Having two or more server or peer associations
is important for reliability and redundancy.
(Optional) The user can add associations for NTP servers that reside on the company network:
n

For NTP servers that the user cannot configure, add server associations, as described
below.
For NTP servers that the user can configure, add peer associations as described in
Adding Peer Associations.

Note: Avoid creating server associations on two NTP servers that point to each other. Use
peer associations instead.
(Optional) If the SyncServer is located outside the United States, the user can also add at
least one server association that points to a local NTP server. This provides a shorter network path, which improves timing precision and accuracy. Often, public NTP servers are
operated by national timekeeping authorities, telecommunications companies, and universities. To find a local NTP server, search the Internet for "Public NTP servers". Include
the name of your country at the end of the search string. When available, select NTP servers
that are stratum 1 over those that are stratum 2.
To add a server association:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Go to NTP - Config in the web interface.


Under Add/Edit Association, for Role, select Server.
For Address, enter an IP address (recommended) or domain name.
(Optional) Configure the other settings under Add/Edit Association. For more information, see NTP - Config.
5. Click SAVE.
6. Click RESTART.
After restarting, the NTP daemon sends regular requests to the server and uses the replies
to compare the NTP server with other servers and peers. The NTP daemon selects the best
server or peer and synchronizes with it.

Backing Up/Restoring Configurations


SyncServer's configuration settings can be saved to a "backup" file, which is useful in the following scenarios:
n

The user is testing multiple SyncServer configurations. The user saves the "original" configuration before testing, and then saves some of the more promising test configurations.
When the testing is complete, the user selects the best configuration and applies it to the
SyncServer.
The user needs to configure several SyncServers. The user configures a single SyncServer, creates a backup file, and then uses the backup file to transfer the configuration
to the remaining SyncServers.
The user needs a "known good configuration" in case the SyncServer's configuration is
inadvertently changed or lost.

The SyncServer's backup and restore features are available from two locations:
n
n

From the web interface, using the WIZARDS - Backup and the WIZARDS - Restore pages.
From the front panel keypad, using the MENU button and the 4) USB menu item.

Note 1 - Not all USB flash drives are compatible with the SyncServer's USB ports.
Microsemi recommends using SanDisk cruzer micro USB devices.
Note 2 - The backup file includes the configuration of the NETWORK - Ethernet page. If restoring a single configuration to multiple units, if the network ports have static IP addresses,
avoid IP address conflicts by changing these addresses.
Note 3 - Transferring configurations between a SyncServers with different hardware or software might not work. The user may want to back up the configuration of the "destination"
SyncServer before applying the configuration of the "originating" SyncServer. One can also

n

n
n

When the password is lost and the Recover Password feature is disabled (Use the Hardware Jumper method).
To erase the previous configuration prior to reconfiguring the SyncServer.
To erase site-specific information such as the IP addresses and the GPS position, prior to
sending the SyncServer off-site.

In some cases, the user may back up the current configuration of the SyncServer prior to
restoring the factory default configuration. See Creating a Backup File (on page 118).
Restoring the default factory configuration removes the current network settings. Afterwards, the user may need to configure the LAN1 port in order to use the web interface.

Using the Web Interface


To restore the factory configuration use the one of the following pages:
n
n

SYSTEM - Factory Reset


WIZARDS - Restore (select Reset to Factory Defaults).

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 119

n
n
n

A jumper.
Size 0 philips-head screwdriver
Tweezers or needle-nosed pliers for handling the jumper.

Note: Observe static protection measures while working inside the SyncServer.
To restore the factory configuration:
1. Halt the SyncServer as described in Halting the SyncServer.
2. VERY IMPORTANT: Remove the top cover as described in Removing the Top Cover (on
page 122).
3. Position a jumper (not supplied) across the jumper pins marked JP4, next to the circular
battery.
4. (Optional) To clear site-specific information, disconnect all network and GPS antenna
cables from the rear of the SyncServer and do not reconnect them.
5. Connect the power cable and turn the power switch on. The SyncServer restores the factory configuration.
6. After 100 seconds, turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cable.
7. Remove the jumper from the JP4 jumper pins.
8. Secure the top cover to the SyncServer using the screws.
9. Reconnect the power cable and turn the SyncServer's power on. The default factory configuration has been restored.

Configuring SNMP
On the SyncServer, SNMP:
n
n
n

Responds to requests for configuration and operational information.


Sends traps in response to events, as configured on the ADMIN - Alarms page.
Cannot be used to change the SyncServers configuration (is read only).

SNMP-related pages on the SyncServer:


n
n
n
n
n

WIZARDS - SNMP: Configure SNMP quickly (SNMP v1 and v2c only).


NETWORK - SNMP: Configure SNMP and add v3 users.
NETWORK - SNMP Traps: Configure trap recipients.
ADMIN - Alarms: Select which events generate SNMP traps.
SERVICES - Startup: Stop or start the SNMP daemon, and enable/disable it from starting
automatically when the SyncServer reboots.

Configuring the SyncServer for SNMP queries

Page 120..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Configuring SNMP
For SNMP v1/v2c queries, specify a Read Community string on the NETWORK - SNMP page.
For SNMP v3 queries, create v3 Users on the NETWORK - SNMP page.
Additional standard SNMP values, such as sysLocation and sysContact are also specified
on the NETWORK - SNMP page.
The SyncServer Product CD includes a copy of the SyncServer custom MIB file that can be
loaded into SNMP management stations.

Configuring the SyncServer to send SNMP Traps


To configure SNMP to send v1 or v2c traps:
1. Go to the NETWORK -> SNMP Traps page.
2. In the "Add/Edit Trap Recipient" section of the page, do the following:
n Enter the IP Address of the destination management console.
n Select whether it is a v1 or v2c trap.
n Enter the Community string that will be included in the trap PDU.
n For v2c, mark Send As Inform if you want to send an INFORM-PDU. (Otherwise a
TRAP-PDU or TRAP2-PDU is sent.)
n Click Save.
n Go to the ADMIN -> Alarms page, and specify which events should generate SNMP traps.
To configure SNMP to send v3 traps:
NOTE! To configure SNMP to send v3 traps, you must first create a v3 user which corresponds to a user on the destination management console. (This is done through the
NETWORK -> SNMP page.)

1. Go to the NETWORK -> SNMP Traps page.


2. In the "Add/Edit Trap Recipient" section of the page, do the following:
n Enter the IP Address of the destination management console.
n Select v3 as the trap type.
n Enter the name of the v3 User you created on the NETWORK -> SNMP page.
n Mark Send As Inform if you want to send an INFORM-PDU. (Otherwise a TRAP-PDU or
TRAP2-PDU is sent.)
n Enter the 8-character Auth phrase for the user, and indicate if it is M5D or SHA1.
n Specify an optional Priv phrase.
n Click Save.
n Go to the ADMIN -> Alarms page, and specify which events should generate SNMP
traps.
Use SNMP get from the destination management console (as this v3 user), to query the SyncServer for its EngineID. You may then configure any desired SNMP v3 trap receivers on
your remote management console.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 121

Using the Other Input References

NOTE: The SyncServer gets a new EngineID on every upgrade (even if "upgrading" to the
same system software version you are already running). You MUST re-query the SyncServer via SNMP get and reconfigure your v3 trap receivers to use this new EngineID.

Transferring Configurations
The user can transfer a configuration across multiple SyncServers to save time and effort,
provided they are running the same Software Version (displayed on the STATUS - General
page.
If you have physical access to the SyncServer, the easiest method for transferring the configuration is to use a USB flash drive and the front panel keypad.
1. Create a backup file on a configured SyncServer, as described in Creating a Backup
File (on page 118).
2. Restore that backup file to another SyncServer as described in Restoring from a
Backup File (on page 119).
3. IMPORTANT: When the SyncServer reboots, immediately change the IP address of LAN1
using the front panel MENU button as described in Configuring LAN1 (on page 111).
This step resets all of the network port addresses and prevents network address collisions with the previous SyncServer.
4. Log in and use the NETWORK - Ethernet page to configure the network ports.
5. On the SYSTEM - General page, update the Hostname.

Removing the Top Cover


After halting the SyncServer as described in Halting the SyncServer:
1. If needed, remove the SyncServer from the equipment rack.
2. Disconnect the power from the SyncServer.
3. Remove the top cover (lid):
n Remove the six retaining screws from the top cover.
n Lift the rear edge of the top cover from the chassis.
n SLOWLY and firmly separate the top cover from the adhesive heatsink pad.

Replacing the Battery


To replace the battery:
1. To safeguard delicate instrument electronics, remove power to the SyncServer.

Page 122..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Replacing the Battery


2. VERY IMPORTANT: Remove the SyncServer's top cover as described in Removing the
Top Cover (on page 122).
3. Locate the circular silver-colored disc-shaped lithium battery, located on the front right
corner of the motherboard.
4. Please do not lift or bend the metal clip. Doing so may damage or break the battery holder,
requiring repair.
5. Locate the sloping black plastic latch, opposite from the metal clip.
6. Depress the latch and slide the battery out of the holder
7. Dispose of the battery in accordance with local regulations.
8. Use the new battery to press the latch down while sliding the battery into the holder.
9. Re-apply power to the SyncServer.

CAUTION:LithiumBattery
The SyncServer contains a Lithium Battery that maintains the system's Real Time Clock
(RTC) when the SyncServer's power is off. Replace the Lithium Battery only with the same
or equivalent type. Do not dispose of the Lithium Battery in a fire or incinerator, or the battery
may explode. Follow disposal regulations in your area for Lithium Battery disposal.
ATTENTION : Le SyncServer contient une batterie de lithium pour maintenir l'horloge en
temps rel pendent que le courant est debranch. Remplacez la batterie de lithium seulement avec une batterie de type quivalent. Ne vous dbarrassez pas de la batterie de lithium
dans un feu ou un incinrateur, car la batterie pourrait exploser. Dbarrassez-vous de la batterie usage de lithium selon les instructions du fabricant.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 137

Software
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License
applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
(Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer
you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software
is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that
what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will
not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to
any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing
the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the

Page 138..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

GNU General Public License


Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give
any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that
whole or in part contains or is
part thereof, to be licensed as
parties under the terms of this

you distribute or publish, that in


derived from the Program or any
a whole at no charge to all third
License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively


when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 139

Software
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or

Page 140..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

GNU General Public License


otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a
version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask
for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for
this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 141

Software
IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY
TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of
warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts
of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called some-

Net-SNMP Software License


thing other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu
items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if
any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a
sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it
more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this
is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this
License.

Various copyrights apply to this package, listed in 3 separate parts
below. Please make sure that you all the parts. Up until 2001, the
project was based at UC Davis, and the first part covers all code
written during this time. From 2001 onwards, the project has been
based at SourceForge, and Networks Associates Technology, Inc hold the
copyright on behalf of the wider Net-SNMP community, covering all
derivative work done since then. An additional copyright section has
been added as Part 3 below also under a BSD license for the work
contributed by Cambridge Broadband Ltd. to the project since 2001.
Code has been contributed to this project by many people over
the years it has been in development, and a full list of contributors
can be found in the README file under the THANKS section.

Hardware Clock
The Hardware Clock manages the Input References:
n
n
n

Gets the time from the highest priority reference that is available.
Applies the UTC offset if the reference is GPS.
Passes the time to the NTP daemon.

The NTP daemon includes a preferred server association for the Hardware Clock that cannot be edited or removed.

Introduction to GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a
constellation of at least 24 satellites that continuously orbit the earth. These GPS satellites
have several atomic clocks that are precisely synchronized to UTC from the U.S. Naval
Observatory (USNO). Coded signals are broadcast by each of the satellites with the exact
time and position of the satellite. All GPS receivers use an antenna to receive these signals.
Using a GPS receiver optimized for time (rather than position), it is possible to get extremely
precise synchronization with the satellites' atomic clocks.

997-01520-02 Rev. G2.......................................................................... Page 179

Glossary

Leap Indicator
The Leap Indicator (LI) is a two-bit binary number in the NTP packet header that provides
the following information:
n

Advance warning that a leap second adjustment will be made to the UTC timescale at the
end of the current day. Leap seconds are events mandated by the world time authority
(BIPM) in order to synchronize the UTC time scale with the earth's rotation.
Whether the NTP daemon is synchronized to a timing reference. The settings on the
NTP - Prefs (on page 40) page affect LI behavior.

LI Value Meaning
00 0
01 1

No warning.
Leap second insertion: Last minute of the day has 61 seconds.

10 2
11 3

Leap second deletion: Last minute of the day has 59 seconds.


Alarm condition (Not synchronized)

When the SyncServer or NTP daemon is started or restarted, the leap indicator is set to "11",
the alarm condition. This alarm condition makes it possible for NTP clients to recognize that
an NTP server (the SyncServer) is present, but that it has yet to validate its time from its time
sources. Once the SyncServer finds a valid source of time and sets its clock, it sets the leap
indicator to an appropriate value. The NTP Leap Change Alarm on the ADMIN - Alarms page can be
configured to generate an alarm and send notifications each time the leap indicator changes
state.

NTP Daemon
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Daemon (a.k.a. "ntpd") listens for and responds to
requests from NTP clients. It also sends NTP requests to each of the NTP Associations and
qualifies each one. It synchronizes with the best NTP association and makes that time available to the
See the NTP - Config topics for more information.

Software Clock
The Software Clock time is initialized by the onboard real time clock (RTC) and controlled/adjusted by the NTP daemon (ntpd) when it has a valid peer (e.g., Hardware Clock/SYMM_TE, factory default NTP association, user-configured peer, etc.).
The software clock time is represented on the display

Page 180..........................................................................997-01520-02 Rev. G2

Stratum

Stratum
This is an eight-bit integer that indicates the position of an NTP node within an NTP timing
hierarchy. It is calculated by adding 1 to the stratum of the NTP system peer.
For the SyncServer, the stratum values are defined as follows:
Stratum Definition
0
Hardware Clock when locked.
1
Primary server
2-15
Secondary server
16-255 Unsynchronized, unreachable.

For example, the SyncServer is:


n

n
n

stratum 1 when the Hardware Clock (stratum 0) is synchronized to an input reference, in


holdover mode, or in freerun mode.
stratum 2 through 15 when it is synchronized to a remote NTP server.
stratum 16 when it is unsynchronized, indicating that it is searching for a valid source of
timing information.

The settings on the NTP - Prefs (on page 40) page affect stratum behavior.

Timing Engine
This is an equivalent term for "Hardware Clock". Please see the glossary entry for Hardware
Clock (on page 179).

Timing Source
A Timing Source is a reference source, such as GPS, that is available to the Hardware
Clock. The number and type of Timing Sources available varies by model. See TIMING - HW
Clock, Forced Timing Source for specific examples. See the TIMING - HW Clock (on page
42) topic for more information.

UTC
From Wikipedia: "Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a high-precision atomic time standard.
UTC has uniform seconds defined by International Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds
announced at irregular intervals to compensate for the earth's slowing rotation and other discrepancies. Leap seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), a time standard
based not on the uniform passage of seconds, but on Earth's angular rotation."
