1.1 Getting Started

1.1 Getting Started

Figure 1-1: VersaSync Rugged GPS Time & Frequency Reference
Welcome to the VersaSync User Manual .
First steps:
If you are not yet familiar with VersaSync, you may want to start here: "VersaSync
Overview" below.
If you are ready to begin the installation process, see: "Initial Network Setup" on
page29
If your unit is already up and running, and you would like to change specific settings, see …
"Managing Time" on page135, or
"System Administration" on page207.

1.2 VersaSync Overview

VersaSync is a high-performance time & frequency GPS master clock and network time server that delivers accurate, software configurable time and frequency signals under all cir­cumstances, including GNSS-denied environments. Its compact size and high level of rug­gedization make VersaSync suitable for mobile applications in harsh environments. VersaSync's small footprint allows for easy integration of the time and frequency func­tionality into systems architecture.
VersaSync includes all the timing functionality required in modern, network-centric applic­ations:
2
CHAPTER 1 VersaSync User Manual Rev. 7.0
1.2 VersaSync Overview
NTP/PTP precise time transfer over Ethernet, including security protocols that pre­vent network vulnerabilities
Low phase noise 10 MHz frequency distribution
Configurable pulse signals, including IRIG or HaveQuick timecodes
Serial link Time Of Day (ToD) messages
GPS-Denied Environments
VersaSync accommodates an OCXO oscillator, allowing the unit to maintain frequency and time accuracy for long periods of GPS/GNSS outage. In addition, it can be re-synchronized by an external reference.
Reliable, Versatile, and Configurable
VersaSync physical inputs and outputs are software configurable and can adapt to various application requirements. I/O pins can be configured as TTL, 10 V pulse, RS232, RS422, and RS485. This allows VersaSync to provide a high number of outputs of the same type, while still fitting into a small form factor. However, if the combination of software con­figurable outputs is not enough, VersaSync can accommodate an option board (within the same form factor), designed to customer requirements to provide additional outputs of the same type orother type of interface (IRIG AM, etc…).
Due to its high level of ruggedization, VersaSync provides very high intrinsic reliability. Strong status monitoring capability, either locally or remotely, allows quick fault diagnosis. Physical alarm (dry contact) and network alarms (SNMP traps) are raised in real time. An internal, exportable log can be accessed either locally or remotely. In addition to oscillator options (OCXO), VersaSync is available with a C/A L1 GPS receiver or with an L1/L2 SAASM receiver. Pulse outputs are configurable through the web user interface ("Web UI"). An extension slot is available to accommodate additional timing interfaces.
Typical Applications
Airborne: Observation payload (radars, optronics, electronic warfare), flying test
bench, flight analysis
Ground: Satcom On the Move (SOTM), anti-IED jamming systems, mobile radios and
C3I, robotics
Marine: Sensor support (radars, sonars, optronics, electronic warfare), com-
munication networks, offshore/DSO platforms, buoys

1.3 Status LEDs

1.3 Status LEDs

VersaSync's front panel status LEDs provide a real-time status overview: Eight (8) LEDs indicate the unit's current operating state:
The LEDs can be disabled, see "Blackout Mode" on page6.
1.3.1 Blinking Intervals
The statusLEDs can communicate five different operating states:
"OFF"
"ON"
"FAST": blinking interval @ 8Hz
"SLOW": blinking interval @ 2Hz
"HEARTBEAT": sinus-shaped interval @ 1Hz
1.3.2 LED Lighting Patterns
The table below indicates LED status light patterns for common VersaSync operating statuses.

1.4 Interfaces Overview
1.3.3.1 LED Patterns during Boot Sequence
For the first five seconds after power-up all LEDs will be OFF. Then the Power LED will be blinking before it will be lit permanently. If you have configured your unit to operate in Blackout Mode, this will take effect once the blinking cycle ends.
1.3.4 Blackout Mode
All LEDs can be turned off via the WebUI.
The LED brightness level can be set from 63 (as bright as possible) to 0 (not visable).
To disable all LED activity via the WebUI:
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > OTHER: LED Configuration, and set the Brightness level to "0".

1.4 Interfaces Overview

All of VersaSync's interfaces are integrated into the unit's connectors, which are located on the front panel:

This product is designed to handle a maximum voltage of up to 32 VDC. Power supplies with higher voltage or transient/ cranking power will require a power conditioner or surge blocker.
Caution: Reversed polarity can blow an internal fuse that protects the
product from damage. Use care when building power cables.

1.5 Connectors and their Pinouts
Test any new cables to safely power the unit before connecting your VersaSync to any
other inputs or outputs (such as a GNSS antenna), and before grounding your unit to a vehicle.
1.5.2 Input/Output Connector
VersaSync has a 26- pin input/output connector that offers 8 software-configurable CHANNELS, plus one fixed DCLS channel, and a USB interface. To learn more about types of interfaces and signals, and how toconfigure them, see "Assigning I/O Pins" on page39.

1.5.5 Coaxial Connectors
VersaSync offers five (5) coaxial connectors, three (3) of which can be configured at the factory to accommodate requirements for e.g., IRIG AM signals or additional 10MHz out­puts. The minimum configuration includes the GNSS antenna and a 10MHz sinewave out- put.
Unless otherwise ordered at the factory, all coaxial connectors (aside from the GNSS con­nection) produce a 10MHz output that is not software configurable.
All coaxial connectors are standard SMA connectors.
Mating Connector Plugs
The table below lists the part numbers for the mating connectors. The connectors can be ordered through Spectracom or ODU-USA Inc. All connectors are circular ODU AMC "mil-type" connectors.

1.7 VersaSync Specifications

The specifications listed below apply to the current base model, during “normal” operation, with VersaSync synchronized to valid Time and 1PPS input references.
1.7.1 Supply Power
Operating Power and Standby Power: 10 to 32 V
Power draw:
Operating: 10 W typical
Standby: 0.4W
This product is not intended to operate above 32VDC; power sources with transient voltage spikes and surges above 32V require an external power conditioner/power filter to ensure safe operation.
