Unpacking the TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server

The Timing Server is shipped with the following items to ensure an optimum installation:

•

TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server

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.

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

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.

TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Server Installation and Configuration Guide

The TCA software creates a separate log file for each user account to store the commands executed by the corresponding user. The software stores the session ID and timestamp in the log file to identify the various sessions for that particular user.The software deletes the log file created for the user account, when the Admin user deletes any Read-Only or Read/Write user account.

NOTE: The software can store only a maximum of 150 commands in a log

file.

Guidelines for User Account Management

Keep in mind the following considerations when you (Admin) configure user accounts:

•

The software supports only five user accounts.

•

You cannot delete the default Admin user account assigned by Juniper Networks.

•

You cannot create another Admin user account.

•

The username should be 4 to 12 characters long. The characters can only include alphanumeric and underscore. No other special characters are allowed.

•

The username should be unique.

•

The password should be 4 to 12 characters long. The characters can include alphanumeric and special characters (that is, !@#$_).

Dynamic SSL Certificate Overview

The TCA 8000 or 8500 Timing Server enables you to access the GUI through Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) based on the web mode configured by the Admin user. The Admin user can configure the Timing Server to use the customized key and certificate instead of the default key and certificate, when the GUI is accessed through HTTPS. By default, the Timing Server uses the default key and certificate when the GUI is accessed through HTTPS.

The Admin user can download the customized key and certificate files of .pem format in the Timing Server through CLI or GUI. The downloaded key file is stored as an

ssl_key.pem file in the etc/config path. The downloaded certificate file is stored as an ssl_cert.pem file in the etc/config path. The Admin user can generate the customized

files by using OpenSSL or FIPS 140-2 capable OpenSSL as trusted certification authority. For complete information and source of OpenSSL utility, see http://www.openssl.org/.

When you access the GUI through HTTPS, the Timing Server checks for the ssl_key.pem and ssl_cert.pem files in the etc/config path. If any one of the files is not available, the Timing Server uses the default key and certificate. If the files are available, the Timing Server checks the BEGIN header and the END footer in both the files. If the header and footer are valid in both the files, the Timing Server compares the key file with the certificate file. On successful match, the Timing Server loads the GUI and generates a syslog.

Chapter 3: Configuring a TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server

The Timing Server does not load the GUI but generates a syslog during the following scenarios:

•

Mismatch identified between the key and certificate files.

•

Invalid header or footer identified in one of the files.

•

Validity of any file got expired.

The Admin user must keep the following conditions in mind when uploading the customized files:

•

After uploading both the files, you must reboot the Timing Server for the changes to take effect.

•

The Timing Server uses the default key and certificate if both or any one of the customized files is unavailable.

•

You cannot modify the downloaded files but you can replace them with another ones.

•

You should use only Secure HashAlgorithm (SHA-1) and RSA (1024 bits) cryptographic algorithms while generating the customized key and certificate files.

Accessing the User Interface

You can configure the TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server using one of the following methods:

Chapter 3: Configuring a TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server

Configuring User Authentication through RADIUS

The TCA 8000 and TCA 8500 Timing Servers support RADIUS server authentication, local authentication, or both based on the configured authentication order to authenticate the user logging in to the Timing Server.

When you configure the authentication order as RADIUS server authentication followed by the local authentication, the Timing Server passes the information about the logging user to the configured RADIUS servers for authentication. If any one of the RADIUS server successfully authenticates the user, then the Timing Server allows the user to log in. If all the configured RADIUS servers fail to authenticate the user or configured RADIUS servers are not available, then the Timing Server performs the local authentication and allows the user to log in after successful local authentication. The Timing Server blocks the logging user if both RADIUS and local authentication fails.

When you configure the authentication order as local authentication followed by the RADIUS server authentication, the Timing Server performs the local authentication to grant access to the logging user. If the local authentication fails to authenticate the user, then the Timing Server passes the information about the logging user to the configured RADIUS servers for authentication. If any one of the RADIUS server successfully authenticates the user, then the Timing Server allows the user to log in. If all configured RADIUS servers fail to authenticate the user, then the Timing Server denies access to the logging user.

When you configure the authentication order as RADIUS server authentication only, the Timing Server passes the information about the logging user to the configured RADIUS servers for authentication. If any one of the RADIUS server successfully authenticates the user, then the Timing Server allows the user to log in. If all configured RADIUS servers fail to authenticate the user, then the Timing Server denies access to the logging user. If all configured RADIUS servers are not available, then the Timing Server performs local authentication and allows the user to log in after successful local authentication.

When you configure the authentication order as local authentication only, the Timing Server performs the local authentication to grant or deny access to the user logging in to the Timing Server.

NOTE:

•

The selection of RADIUS authenticationserver to authenticateuser is based on the order in the RADIUS authentication server list.

•

The user authentication process is implemented only for the Access Request, Access Reject, and Access Accept messages.

•

The user authentication process is not supported for shell users.

The user authentication process protects the Timing Server from being accessed by unauthorized persons. The usage of RADIUS authentication servers providesthe following advantages:

Configuring RADIUS Accounting

The TCA 8000 and TCA 8500 Timing Servers support RADIUS accounting for the user logged in to the Timing Server. Once the user is logged in to the Timing Server, the Timing Server passes the accounting information to the configured RADIUS accounting servers. The Timing Server stops the accounting process when the user session is closed either voluntarily or involuntarily. The Timing Server waits for acknowledgment from the accounting servers for each accounting packet.

Chapter 3: Configuring a TCA8000 or TCA8500 Timing Server

When the RADIUS accounting is enabled, the Timing Server tries to log the accounting information in any one of the configured RADIUS accounting server based on the configured timeout period and number of retries. When the logging of accounting information fails for all configured accounting server, the Timing Server raises an ACCOUNTING_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE alarm.

When the RADIUS accounting server is unavailable, the accounting information (latest 15 commands) is buffered. The Timing Server sends the buffered information to the RADIUS accounting server after the server becomes available.

The accounting process supports login accounting, interactive commands accounting, and configuration commands accounting.

NOTE:

•

The selection of RADIUS accounting server to log the accounting information is based on the order in the RADIUS accounting server list.

•

The accounting process is implemented only for the Accounting Request and Accounting Response messages.

•

The RADIUS accounting is not supported for shell users.

•

The accounting process does not support immediate accounting and accounting of web configurations.

The usage of RADIUS accounting servers provides the following advantages:

•

Centralized usage history of all users on one server.

The TCA8000 and TCA8500 Timing Servers are shipped with software pre-installed and ready to be configured when the Timing Server is powered on. To upgrade the software you must connect to the Timing Server using the GUI or a Telnet connection.

Upgrades affect service and cause the Timing Server to reboot. The Timing Server must reboot to load the new software version. All timing outputs are interrupted during this period (approximately 1-3 minutes). After the new version is loaded, frequency and time lock can take up to 50 minutes to resume normal status (LOCKED) for PTP or NTP features.

Gather the following information before upgrading the Timing Server:

•

Admin password

•

Name of the TFTP, FTP, or SCP server

•

IP address of the TFTP, FTP, or SCP server

•

Username and password of the FTP or SCP server
