Mounting Site Location

Mount the antenna outside, preferably on the roof with an unobstructed view of the sky. Do not mount the
antenna near a wall or other obstruction blocking part of the sky. Mount the antenna well above roads or
parking lots. Proper cable, grounding techniques, and lightning arrestors should be used.

Warning:To avoid serious personal injury or death, exercise caution when working near high voltage lines.

In particular:

– Use extreme caution when installing the antenna near, under, or around high voltage lines.

– Follow local building electrical codes for grounding the chassis.Surge Protection for Indoor

PoE.

An indoor PoE should be isolated. It needs to a be single port injector, such as Microsemi’s PD-9001G­40/SP Midspan. The Primary surge protection device needs to be as close as possible to inlet to the
building and connected to earth ground. The Microsemi PD-OUT/SP11 is recommended. The single port
PoE injector acts as secondary surge protection. See Figure 2-2.

2 125-12054-12-2

Figure 2-2 • Surge Protection with Indoor PoE

Surge Protection for Outdoor PoE

Using an outdoor PoE only makes sense for more than 1 outdoor device, for instance 1 SyncServer S80
and 1 outdoor security camera. Suggested Microsemi PoEs include the 2 port PDS-102GO or 4 port

12 098-00777-000 Rev. A

SyncServer S80 NTP User Guide

PDS-104GO. See Figure 2-3.

The Sync Server S80 is compliant to ITU-K.20. A Lightning protector is required at both ends to be
compliant to ITU-K.20 (protecting the Antenna and the Building). Use state and local practices to assure
compliance measures are taken.The Microsemi PD-OUT/SP11 is recommended.

Figure 2-3 • Surge Protection with Outdoor PoE

Power Requirements

The SyncServer S80 receives power through Power Over Ethernet (PoE). The Power input to the unit
needs to be PoE Class 3.

Network Connection

The Ethernet port available through the cable on the bottom of the SyncServer S80 unit accepts an RJ­45 connector, which links the unit to your 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN. See Figure 2-4. The SyncServer S80
unit also receives power through the Ethernet cable from a POE power injector. The Ethernet MAC
address is printed on the label on the bottom of the SyncServer S80 unit.

Installation of SyncServer S80

Recommended Tasks

Microsemi recommends the user configure the SyncServer S80 before mounting it in its outdoor or
rooftop location.

1. Make a temporary connection between the SyncServer S80 and the desired network. Refer to

Figure 2-1 for placement of the PoE midspan repeater.

2. Establish an SSH connection from your computer to the IP address assigned to the SyncServer
S80.

Note: The S80 default IP address is 192.168.100.11, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the gateway

address is 0.0.0.0 (no gateway).

Note: The Ethernet interface must be 1000 Base-T. Lower speed connections are not supported.

3. Type the default user name admin and press Enter.

4. Type default password Microsemi and press Enter. The system prompt will appear.

Note: Microsemi recommends using a static IP address. Whenever any IP address or mode is changed,

the S80 must be rebooted. Users are not recommended to use DHCP for the SyncServer S80
because there is no convenient method for retrieving assigned DHCP address for the management
port after reboot.

5. Set the desired IPv4 or IPv6 address using the

IPv4 Example

To set the static IPv4 address for the Ethernet Interface to 192.168.2.11, the mask to 255.255.255.0,
and the gateway 0.0.0.0:

S80> set ip ipv4 ip-address 192.168.2.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway

0.0.0.0:
S80> set ip ipv4 ip-address 192.168.2.11 mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 0.0.0.0
S80> set ip ipv4 state enable
S80> set ip ipv4 state restart

IPv6 Example

To set the static IPv6 address for the Ethernet Interface to 2201:db8:1234::11 , the prefix to 64, and
the gateway 2201:db8:1234::1:

S80> set ip ip6 ip-address 2201:db8:1234::11 prefix 64 gateway 2201:db8:1234::11
S80> set ip ipv6 state enable
S80> set ip ipv6 state restart
