The Juniper Networks TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Servers are Stratum 1 traceable,
carrier-class,1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Grandmasters, Network Time Protocol
(NTP) peers, and Primary Reference Source (PRS) providing superior time stamping
accuracy and redundant configurability. The TCA8000 has an internal OCXO reference
oscillator while the TCA8500 has a Rubidium reference oscillator. Both systems have
either a pre-configured AC or -48 V DC input power source.
This user manual provides installationand operational informationfor the Timing Servers
to allow successful deployment and operation of the servers. The TCA8000and TCA8500
Timing Servers are integral components of legacy and IP-based networks that are
designed to deliver highly accurate and resilient timing and synchronization capabilities
to support today’s next-generationdeployments. The Timing Servers have been designed
to accept a GPS signal from a variety of manufacturers’ antennas.
NOTE: The TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Servers ship with both T1 and
E1 software images installed in the two internal non-volatile memory
partitions. By default, the TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Servers use the
E1 interface type. This manual refers to E1 configuration, alarms, and status
but is also applicable to T1 except for some differences in nomenclature that
are specific to each frame type. See
“Upgrading the TCA8000 and TCA8500 Software” on page 67 to install the
software image for the appropriate interface type for the system.

Requirements for Installing a TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server
This section describes the requirements to correctly install and use the TCA8000 or
TCA8500 Timing Server. Table 2 on page 12 lists the items needed to install the Timing
Server.
You must use an appropriate GPS L1 antenna (1575.42 MHz) to receive a minimum GPS
signal from the Timing Server. The antenna must allow a minimum signal input level of
20 dB with respect to the antenna output for the Timing Server.
11Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.
TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Server Installation and Configuration Guide
NOTE: To calculate whether the external antenna, cable type, and length
meets the minimum TCA GPS antenna input, use the following formula:
TCA GPS signal input = antenna gain – [(cable length) * (cable loss / Meter
or Feet)]
Table 2: Antenna Mounting Requirements
Customer Supplied
•
GPS L1 antenna with a frequency band of 1575.42 +/-10 MHz 3 dB bandwidth.
•
Antenna mount
•
Mounting area clear for at least two meters of any metal or other material that could act as a
shield and block the GPS signal
•
160 degree clear view of the sky
•
Clamps, cable ties, and so on, to secure cable
Reserving an IP Address for the TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server
The TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Servers support both dynamic and static IP
addressing. If a static address is required, an IP address must be reserved and assigned
for the Timing Server by a network administrator. The DHCP server will always assign a
unique address.
Installing the TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server
Install the Timing Server in a 19-in. or 23-in. rack using the supplied rack mount kit. The
AC system is shipped with the appropriate country power cord and should be connected
to the input plug on the back of the unit. For the DC system the -48 V DC on the back of
unit should be connected to the 48 V DC source.
CAUTION:
For the -48 V DC option:
•
Ground cable—Make a ground cable using 8-gauge wire with the supplied
ground lug. This should attachto your building’s earth ground infrastructure.
•
Power— Route powerconnection using 18-22 gaugewire to a 48-volt circuit
breaker panel.
Recommendations for Mounting the Antenna (TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server)
This section describes mounting the antenna for the Timing Server at a location where
the unit will receive a GPS signal from several satellites. A site survey is highly
recommended prior to any installation activity. This will determine the best method and
location for mounting the antenna. A site survey will also provide additional information
Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.12
including cable lengths and required mounting materials in order to perform a secure
and reliable installation.

Optimal GPS Antenna Mounting Conditions on page 13
•
Minimal TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server Installation Conditions on page 13
•
Mounting the Antenna on page 13
Optimal GPS Antenna Mounting Conditions
Ideally, the GPS antenna should be mounted where a 160° clear view of the sky (a 10°
angle from horizontal) is available to enable a connection to visible GPS satellites. The
ideal mounting location is a roof, tower or an antenna mast, high above any obstruction
or any device that may cause signal interference. We recommend a location that has the
following characteristics:
•
Clear view of the sky in all directions—at least 270°
•
Away from high-power transmitters and radar antennas
•
At least 3 meters away and at least 1 meter below the highest point of a lightning rod
Chapter 2: Installing and Setting Up a TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server
•
Convenient path for running the outdoor coax cable from the GPS antenna to the
network
Minimal TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server Installation Conditions
The TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server can still maintain accurate time when an
antenna is mounted in a location that has limited visibility of GPS satellites; however, it
is recommended any obstructions should be minimized. Limitations to satellite visibility
for an antenna include overhanging foliage or tall structures. Such structures can block
the GPS signal from the antenna and cause gaps in the GPS satellite signal reception. In
locations where satellite visibility is limited, it is suggested the following be considered:
•
Position the antenna for the Timing Server on the side of the structure with good visibility
toward the equator where more satellites are visible. For example, if you are in the
northern hemisphere, place the unit on the southern side of the structure unless that
view is restricted or blocked. If that view is restricted or blocked, place the unit on the
east or west side of the structure. Avoid the polar side where there are fewer visible
satellites.
•
Ensure that the GMT time zone parameter is set while you configure the Timing Server.
Mounting the Antenna
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the installation of the GPS antenna.
Route the coax cable from the newly installed antenna into the building following the
manufacturer’s antenna safety guidelines.
Route the coax from the building’s ingress to the server’s installation site, and connect
to the GPS server.

Changing the Password of Admin User Account
Juniper Networks assigns a default user account (admin/admin) with login class as
Admin to a TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server for logging in to the Timing Server. You
can create and manage Read-Only or Read/Write user accounts in the TCA8000 or
TCA8500 Timing Server by logging in as admin. For more information about TCA user
account management, see “Managing TCA User Accounts” on page 49 and “TCA User
Accounts Overview” on page 21.
BEST PRACTICE: Before installing the Timing Server on an active network,
change the default password (admin) of the Admin user to maintain secure
access to the Timing Server.
NOTE: You can reset passwords of the Admin user and the enable mode to
factory defaults through the CLI, GUI, or hardware mechanism. For more
informationabout resettingof passwords,see “Changing/Resetting the Login
Password for Admin User” on page 28 and “Resetting the Passwords of Both
Admin User Account and Enable Mode to Factory Defaults” on page 165.
To change the password of the Admin user, one of the following methods may be used:
•
