1.1 Getting Started
1.1 Getting Started
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.
Figure 1-1: VersaSync Rugged GPS Time & Frequency Reference
If you are ready to begin the installation process, see: "Initial Network Setup" on
page27
If your unit is already up and running, and you would like to change specific settings,
see …
… "Managing Time" on page113, or
… "System Administration" on page179.
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:
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

CHAPTER 1 • VersaSync User Manual Rev. 6.0
1.3 Status LEDs
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 or other 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), communication
networks, offshore/DSO platforms, buoys
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:

1.3 Status LEDs
The LEDs can be disabled, see "Blackout Mode" on page6.
1.3.1 Blinking Intervals
The status LEDs 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

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 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".
1.4 Interfaces Overview
All of VersaSync's interfaces are integrated into the unit's connectors, which are located on the
front panel:

1.5.4 Optional I/O Connector
The Optional I/O connector is used in conjunction with the Option Board that is available for
VersaSync. If the unit is not equipped with an Option Board, this connector is not used.
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 10MHz outputs. The
minimum configuration includes the GNSS antenna and a 10MHz sinewave output.
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.
