1.1 Getting Started
1.1Getting 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
page29
If your unit is already up and running, and you would like to change specific settings,
see …
… "Managing Time" on page135, or
… "System Administration" on page207.
1.2VersaSync 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-
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 page6.
1.3.1Blinking Intervals
The statusLEDs can communicate five different operating states:
"OFF"
"ON"
"FAST": blinking interval @ 8Hz
"SLOW": blinking interval @ 2Hz
"HEARTBEAT": sinus-shaped interval @ 1Hz
1.3.2LED Lighting Patterns
The table below indicates LED status light patterns for common VersaSync operating
statuses.

1.4 Interfaces Overview
1.3.3.1LED 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.
1.3.4Blackout Mode
All LEDs can be turned off via the WebUI.
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".
1.4Interfaces Overview
All of VersaSync's interfaces are integrated into the unit's connectors, which are located on
the front panel:
Note: VersaSync is highly configurable and the connections can be adjusted
many different ways. Your interface configuration may vary based on
options you selected during the ordering process.
The following interfaces are provided:

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

1.5.5Coaxial 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 10MHz outputs. The minimum configuration includes the GNSS antenna and a 10MHz 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.
