Chapter 1 Overview Overview

Overview

SyncServer S600

Modern networks require accurate, secure and reliable time services as provided by the Microsemi SyncServer S600. The security hardened S600 network time server is purpose built to deliver exact hardware-based NTP time stamps. The unparalleled accuracy and security is rounded out with outstanding ease-of-use features for reliable network time services ready to meet the needs of your network and business operations today and tomorrow.

SyncServer S650

The modular Microsemi SyncServer S650 combines the best of time and frequency instrumentation with unique flexibility and powerful network/security based features.

The base Timing I/O module with 8 BNC connectors comes standard with the most popular timing I/O signals (IRIG B, 10MHz, 1PPS, etc.). When more flexibility is required, the unique Microsemi FlexPort™ Technology option enables 6 of the BNCs to output any supported signal (time codes, sine waves, programmable rates, etc.) all configurable in real time via the secure web interface. This incredibly flexible BNC by BNC configuration makes very efficient and cost effective use of the 1U space available. Similar functionality is applied to the two input BNCs as well. Unlike legacy modules with fixed count BNCs outputting fixed signal types per module, with FlexPort™ Technology you can have up to 12 BNCs output any combination of supported signal types.

This level of timing signal flexibility is unprecedented and can even eliminate the need for additional signal distribution chassis and there is no degradation in the precise quality of the coherent signals.

SyncServer S650i

The Microsemi SyncServer S650i is a S650 base chassis with no GNSS receiver. The S650i also includes a single installed Timing I/O module. All software upgrade options are applicable except GLONASS/BEIDOU/SBAS.

Security Features

Security is an inherent part of the SyncServer S600/S650 architecture. In addition to standard security features related to the hardening of the web interface, NTP and server access, unsecure access protocols are deliberately omitted from the S6x0 while remaining services can be disabled. Advanced authentication services such as TACACS+, RADIUS, and LDAP are optionally available.

The four (4) standard GbE ports, and optional two (2) 10GbE ports, combined easily handle more than 10,000 NTP requests per second using hardware time stamping and compensation (360,000 is max capacity for NTP reflector, 13,000 is max capacity for NTPd). All traffic to the S6x0 CPU is bandwidth limited for protection against DoS (denial of service) attacks.

Chapter 1 Overview Configuration Management

Note: The SyncServer S6x0 uses IRIG 1344 version C37.118.1a-2014.

 On the input side, the code performs a subtraction using control

bits 14 - 19 from the supplied IRIG time with the expectation that this will produce UTC time. This aligns with the C37.118.1a-2014 definition.

 On the output side, control bits 14 - 19 will always be zero, and

the encoded IRIG time will be UTC (if using an input 1344 IRIG as the reference the 2014 rules are applied to get that value). Hence, any code receiving S6x0 IRIG 1344 output should work regardless of which version they are decoding (since there is nothing to add or subtract).

Configuration Management

The SyncServer S6x0 can be configured using the keypad interface, web interface or Command Line Interface.

Keypad/Display Interface

The keypad/display interface displays the time, system status, and provides the following functions:

 Configuring and enabling/disabling the LAN1 network port

 Setting the time and entering freerun mode

 Adjusting the brightness

Note: The SyncServer 6x0 does not contain a battery-backed

real time clock. Therefore, it will always boot up with a default value for the system time. This time will be updated when it obtains time from a time reference such as GNSS, IRIG, or NTP. The default value for the date is the software build date. This date will be used for the first log entries when booting up the unit. The time will change to local time during the boot-up process if a time zone has been configured.

Handset For future use.

Locking SyncServer has selected a qualified

active time input for use and is now in process of aligning all outputs to it.

Locked SyncServer outputs are now aligned to a

selected active time source.

Bridging SyncServer no longer has a selected

active time source, but it hasn’t been that way for very long.

Directly equal to the common warmup clock state (to both freq and time)

In this status, the Current Source row will, by definition, have a “green” item that has a match to it in the Timing Sources row.

An “active” time source just means one that is continuously providing time (where continuous is a relative term – in general it is an update per second).

This is really just the beginning of holdover, but is a period where the output performance should be as good as when in Locked. It provides a hysteresis buffer to prevent nuisance Locked-Holdover-Locked transitions. In this state the Current Source row will NOT have a green item from the Timing Sources row.

Holdover SyncServer no longer has a selected

active time source, and it has been that way for longer than the Bridging duration. Also the condition for “red holdover” (next row) is not met.

098-00720-000 Revision D1 – February, 2018 SyncServer 600 Series User’s Guide 79

Either we are holdover using an external frequency reference OR we are in holdover using the SyncServer internal reference AND the duration is less than a

user-specified time duration.

Chapter 4

Note:

Status / Information Windows

Table 4-2. Status - Clock State Descriptions (Continued)

Status Indication Meaning Details

Holdover Same as prior row but specific additional

conditions are met. This condition occurs if the current source is the internal oscillator and the duration in time holdover has exceeded the time defined by user in the Timing > Holdover window.

The unit has been in holdover for more than a user-specified duration and the holdover is based on the SyncServer internal reference. In this case the Holdover Sources row will not contain any green items.

Relocking SyncServer has selected a qualified

active time input for use and is now in process of aligning all outputs to it.

The main purpose of holdover is to allow the S6xx time server to continue to operate as "normal" using the internal oscillator or external frequency reference even though the connection the GNSS is lost. The user defines how long this holdover period will last. During this time the NTP Reference Time Stamp is updated regularly indicating the S6xx is still connected to a time reference. Once the user defined holdover period is exceeded the reference time stamp is no longer updated. This is important information to provide to NTP clients as they can then determine whether or not to continue to synchronize to the S6xx. Once the S6xx reacquires GNSS and relocks, the NTP Reference Time Stamp will again be updated regularly.

By NTP protocol definition, once an NTP server locks to a time reference and sets the Leap Indicator to 00 from 11 it never returns to 11. In other words, once the unit has left stratum 16 it should never return to stratum 16. Instead it uses the reference time stamp behavior mentioned above.

When the status is any of these there MUST be a selected time source, which takes precedence in the Current Reference row (more important than if there is also a qualified frequency reference). There must be at least one green item in the Timing References row. The leftmost green one will be identically indicated in the Current Reference row. This is because the leftmost green item in Timing References is the highest priority time source and therefore must be selected. For example, if it is GNSS it will appear identically as Current Reference and in Timing References row.

For any Status in this category there cannot be a qualified Timing Reference (nothing green in that row), so it is certain that SyncServer is using frequency-only reference. If there is a qualified Frequency Reference (meaning something green in this row), then the leftmost green one will be the current source.

If there is no qualified Frequency Reference (nothing green in that row) then all that remains is the SyncServer internal reference, which is what appears in the Current Reference row. In this case the entry will be one of the following, depending on the specific SyncServer product oscillator type:

Table 4-5. NTPd SysInfo Parameter Descriptions

Parameter Description

System Peer The IP address of the clock source. The source is selected by the NTP daemon

that is most likely to provide the best timing information based on: stratum, distance, dispersion and confidence interval. The address of the local SyncServer Hardware Clock can be viewed in the hardware reference clock section of the NTP associations page.

System Peer Mode

The relationship of the SyncServer to a system peer, usually a "client". Depending the configuration, the mode can be:

 Client: A host operating in this mode sends periodic messages regardless of

the reachability state or stratum of its peer. By operating in this mode the host, usually a LAN workstation, announces its willingness to be synchronized by, but not to synchronize the peer.

 Symmetric Active: A host operating in this mode sends periodic messages

regardless of the reachability state or stratum of its peer. By operating in this mode the host announces its willingness to synchronize and be synchronized by the peer.

 Symmetric Passive: This type of association is ordinarily created upon

arrival of a message from a peer operating in the symmetric active mode and persists only as long as the peer is reachable and operating at a stratum level less than or equal to the host; otherwise, the association is dissolved. However, the association will always persist until at least one message has been sent in reply. By operating in this mode the host announces its willingness to synchronize and be synchronized by the peer.

A host operating in client mode (a workstation, for example) occasionally sends an NTP message to a host operating in server mode (the SyncServer), perhaps right after rebooting and at periodic intervals thereafter. The server responds by simply interchanging addresses and ports, filling in the required time information and returning the message to the client. Servers need retain no state information between client requests, while clients are free to manage the intervals between sending NTP messages to suit local conditions. In the symmetric modes, the client/server distinction (almost) disappears. Symmetric passive mode is intended for use by time servers operating near the root nodes (lowest stratum) of the synchronization subnet and with a relatively large number of peers on an intermittent basis. In this mode the identity of the peer need not be known in advance, since the association with its state variables is created only when an NTP message arrives. Furthermore, the state storage can be reused when the peer becomes unreachable or is operating at a higher stratum level and thus ineligible as a synchronization source.

Symmetric active mode is intended for use by time servers operating near the end nodes (highest stratum) of the synchronization subnet. Reliable time service can usually be maintained with two peers at the next lower stratum level and one peer at the same stratum level, so the rate of ongoing polls is usually not significant, even when connectivity is lost and error messages are being returned for every poll.

Table 4-5. NTPd SysInfo Parameter Descriptions (Continued)

Chapter 4

Parameter Description

Leap Indicator The Leap Indicator (LI) is a two-bit binary number in the NTP packet header that

provides the following information:

 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.

Meaning 00 No Warning 01 Leap second insertion: Last minute of the day has 61 seconds. 10 Leap second deletion: Last minute of the day has 59 seconds. 11 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.

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

Meaning 0 Hardware Clock when locked 1 Primary server 2-15 Secondary server 16-255 Unsynchronized, unreachable

For example, the SyncServer is:

 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.

Log2 Precision This is a signed integer indicating the precision of the selected peer clock, in

seconds to the nearest power of two. A typical value is -18 for a Hardware Clock where the uppermost 18 bits of the time stamp fractional component have value, indicating a precision in the microsecond range.

Parameter Description

Root Delay This is a measure of the total round trip delay to the root of the synchronization

tree. A typical value for a SyncServer operating at stratum 1 would be 0 since the SyncServer is a root of the synchronization tree For other stratum levels, an appropriate value is displayed. Depending on clock skew and dispersion, this value could be positive or negative.

Root Dispersion

This is a signed fixed-point number indicating the maximum error relative to the primary reference source at the root of the synchronization subnet, in seconds. Only positive values greater than zero are possible.

Reference ID This is a four-byte field used to identify the reference clock source. At

initialization, while the stratum is 16, this field shows the progression of the NTP clock PLL. The field will start with a value of INIT (may be displayed as

73.78.73.84, the ASCII decimal values). Once a peer has been selected, the clock may be stepped, in which case the reference ID field will change to STEP (or 83.84.69.80). Once the PLL is locked, the stratum will be updated and the reference ID will identify the selected peer. In the case of a SyncServer operating at stratum 1, the reference ID will display the source for the local timing reference (e.g., GNSS, IRIG, FREE). In the case where the selected peer is another NTP server, the reference ID will display the IP address of the server or a hash unique to the association between the SyncServer and the remote server.

Reference Time

The time when the SyncServer last received an update from the selected peer. Represented using time stamp format in local time. If the local clock has never been synchronized, the value is zero. A time stamp of zero corresponds to a local time of Thu, Feb 7 2036 6:28:16.000. This value is typically updated every 16 seconds for a locally attached hardware reference (e.g., GNSS, IRIG) and in an interval of 64- 1024 seconds for a readily accessible remote NTP server.

System Jitter Jitter (also called timing jitter) refers to short-term variations in frequency with

components greater than 10 Hz.

Clock Jitter Jitter (also called timing jitter) refers to short-term variations in frequency with

components greater than 10 Hz.

Clock Wander

Broadcast Delay

The broadcast and multicast modes require a special calibration to determine the network delay between the local and remote servers. Typically, this is done automatically by the initial protocol exchanges between the client and server. This is the broadcast or multicast delay reported by the NTP daemon.

Symm Auth Delay

When NTP authentication is enabled and performed on outgoing NT

P packets, this adds a trivial amount of fixed delay that can be removed based on the authdelay value. This value is always set to zero on the SyncServer.

Table 4-6. NTPd Associations Parameters

Parameter Description

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:

 (space) reject

The peer is discarded as unreachable, synchronized to this server (synch loop) or outrageous synchronization distance.

 x = falsetick

The peer is discarded by the intersection algorithm as a falseticker.

 ,(period) = excess

The peer is discarded as not among the first ten peers sorted by synchronization distance and so is probably a poor candidate for further consideration.

 - (minus) = outlier

The peer is discarded by the clustering algorithm as an outlier.

 + (plus) = candidate

The peer is a survivor and a candidate for the combining algorithm.

 # (pound sign) = selected

The peer is a survivor, but not among the first six peers sorted by synchronization distance. If the association is ephemeral, it may be demobilized to conserve resources.

 * (asterisk) = sys.peer

The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to the system variables.

 o = pps.peer

The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to thesystem variables. However, the actual system synchronization is derived from a pulse-per-second (PPS) signal, either indirectly via the PPS reference clock driver or directly via kernel interface.

Parameter Description

Ref Id This is a four-byte field used to identify the reference clock source. At

initialization, while the stratum is 16, this field shows the progression of the NTP clock PLL. The field will start with a value of INIT (may be displayed as

73.78.73.84, the ASCII decimal values). Once a peer has been selected, the clock may be stepped, in which case the

reference ID field will change to STEP (or 83.84.69.80). Once the PLL is locked, the stratum will be updated and the reference ID will identify the selected peer. In the case of a SyncServer operating at stratum 1, the reference ID will display the source for the local timing reference (e.g., GNSS, IRIG, FREE). In the case where the selected peer is another NTP server, the reference ID will display the IP address of the server or a hash unique to the association between the SyncServer and the remote server.

Stratum 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 GNSS. 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).

Chapter 4

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 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.

Offset (ms) 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.

Delay (ms) 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.

Table 4-6. NTPd Associations Parameters (Continued)

Parameter Description

Disp (ms) 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.

Poll (s) 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.
