Chapter 1 Overview
Overview
Overview
Symmetricom's TimeAnalyzer is an all-in-one test and measurement instrument for
collecting and analyzing IEEE 1588 packet-timing data, as well as analyzing
traditional synchronization signals. This powerful test tool can help you meet the
PTP packet sync performance requirements in every stage of your project:
engineering, network planning, packet-timing deployment and troubleshooting. With
its easy-to-carry portable enclosure, TimeAnalyzer is designed for use in the field,
as well as in the lab.
IEEE 1588 packets may traverse a broad range of networks - such as Ethernet,
Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL), Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON), and
Microwave - under a variety of traffic conditions. By measuring Packet Delay
Variation (PDV), users can characterize a network and determine its suitability for
delivering sync packets. TimeAnalyzer can also measure and analyze traditional
synchronization signals, allowing users to validate the synchronization outputs of
independent PTP clients. Both types of measurements are essential to ensure
reliable synchronization.
Using a hardware time-stamp processor that delivers nanosecond caliber-timing
accuracy, and a comprehensive computation engine, TimeAnalyzer collects PTP
data and analyzes in real-time and off-line graphical displays. Measurements
include Packet Delay Variation (PDV), Minimum Time Deviation (MinTDEV), band
TDEV, percentile TDEV, MATIE, MAFE, and Min Time Dispersion. TimeAnalyzer
also features a set of masks in the packet domain that correspond to the masks in
the synchronization domain, as defined by Telecommunication standards. These
masks help determine if the PTP packet flow delivered over the network meets the
synchronization criteria for the application, and allow TimeAnalyzer to present a
very intuitive and user-friendly PASS/FAIL result for the given conditions.
The six masks available for packetTDEV and packetZTIE analysis cover application
requirements ranging from synchronization interface requirements, to traffic
interface requirements, to wireless backhaul frequency of fset requirements. Four of
the masks apply to the packetZTIE calculation and two of the masks apply to the
packetTDEV calculation. The masks are described further in Table 1-1 below:

PPB frequency offset requirement
TimeAnalyzer can also perform physical-level frequency and phase measurements
using frequency and timing signals delivered through T1, E1, 10MHz, and 1PPS.
TimeAnalyzer generates various performance data, including MTIE, TDEV,
frequency deviation, and fractional frequency offset, which can be compared
against Telecordia, ANSI, ETSI, or ITU-T requirement masks.
With an easy-to-use GUI for initiating measurements and analysis, TimeAnalyzer's
software enables users to quickly configure a test system and collect PTP
timestamp data for PDV analysis. Users can collect data using a wide range of
sampling rates (1Hz to 64Hz) to allow for pattern and trending analysis. The
timestamp data can also be saved into a file and exported to a network emulator
system for traffic simulation and playback. This export function provides a complete
integration path to test the PTP network using traffic simulation and verification for
R&D development, network planning, and network troubleshooting.
TimeAnalyzer is available in two configurations, the 7500 and the 7100. The
TimeAnalyzer 7500 has all the features of the 7100, and also includes the
TimeWatch Probe module. Figure 1-1 shows the TimeAnalyzer 7500. Figure 1-2
shows the TimeAnalyzer 7100.

Power and Ground Connections
The TP5000 probe module uses –48 VDC power, which is provided through
TimeAnalyzer’s power distribution panel.
Warning: To avoid serious personal injury or death, exercise caution
when working near high voltage lines and follow local building
electrical codes for grounding the chassis.
TimeProvider 500 Client Module
The TimeProvider 500 (TP500) client module shown in Figure 1-7 provides a
client-clock function with the ability to synchronize to a grandmaster clock. To
perform the client-clock function, the TimeProvider 500 uses IEEE-1588 v2 as a
frequency reference to steer either T1 or E1 frequency outputs. The TP500 client
module can be configured and monitored using the Command-Line Interface (CLI)
accessible locally with the RS232 connection or remotely via a Telnet connection.
The TP500 Client module “translates” IEEE 1588v2 packet flow into two T1/E1
signaling outputs (G.823/G.824). The TimeProvider 500 PTP translation function
enables legacy Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)-based devices to transparently
send and receive critical timing and synchronization signals over a packet-based,
Ethernet backhaul network without requiring any modifications to their existing
hardware or software. TimeProvider 500 is fully interoperable with Symmetricom’s
TimeProvider 5000, TimeHub, and SSU 2000 IEEE 1588v2 grandmaster products,
as well as third-party grandmaster products that comply with the IEEE 1588v2
protocol standard.

Power Connector
A Molex-style connector is used to provide -48 volts DC (labeled Power). When the
unit is successfully powered, the PWR LED near the left side of this panel will
illuminate green. If the power connection is reversed, the unit will not be damaged, it
simply will not power-up. Startup power will be < 17 watts. Steady-state power
(nominal 25° C) <9.5 watts. The TP500 Client module uses –48 VDC power and is
not equipped with a power switch. Power to the unit is controlled by TimeAnalyzer’s
DC power supply.
Warning: To avoid serious personal injury or death, exercise caution
when working near high voltage lines and follow local building
electrical codes for grounding the TimeAnalyzer
RJ48C Connectors
The stack of 2 RJ48C connections labeled SPAN1 and SPAN2 (can use standard
Ethernet cable) provides two separately driven output signals, configurable as either
E1 or T1. These are differential outputs (tip and ring) conforming to signal levels
defined in G.703.
Note: The RJ48C physical connector is the same as RJ45 (an 8-pin
modular connector). RJ45 is used for Ethernet whereas the term
RJ48C is used for T1 lines. The pinouts for RJ45 and RJ48C are
different. RJ45 (Ethernet) uses pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 whereas RJ48C
uses pins 4 and 5.

TimeProvider 500 Client Module
Chapter 1 Overview
T1/E1 Frequency Output Connectors
The TP500 Client module provides configurable outputs at either E1 (2.048MHz) o r
T1 (1.544MHz) frequencies. Specific signal types at each frequency are detailed in
the CLI command, set output signaltype, as described in. Both outputs must be the
same signal type. There are two independent, separately driven outputs, labeled
SPAN1 and SPAN2. For differential connection to the TP500 Client moduleeither
output, use the appropriate RJ-48C connection shown in Figure 1-8. SPAN1 is the
upper connection and SPAN2 is the lower connection. For single-ended connection
to either output, use the BNC connectors shown in Figure 1-8.
Note: The outputs from the left BNC and lower RJ48C connection
(both labeled SPAN1) are generated from the same driver circuit, so
for proper signal level only one of those connec tio ns sh ou ld be use d
at any one time. The same situation applies to the right BNC and
upper RJ48C, both labeled SPAN2.
LEDs
At the center are four LEDs:
PWR illuminates green when the unit is powered.
SYNC provides high-level status indication. The indications and associated
meanings are described later in this document.
OUT illuminates green when output is being generated on the SPAN
connections.
ALARM illuminates Red to indicate a CRITICAL or MAJOR active alarm, AMBER
to indicate MINOR alarm. Current alarm status can be checked using the show
alarm command. For more information, see the CLI command, show alarm, in
the TP500 User’s Guide.
RS232 MGMT Serial Port
The DE9 connector labeled RS232 MGMT provides a local serial connection to the
TP500 module. Through this connection, a Command Line Interface (CLI) provides
configuration and status monitoring capability. The RS-232 serial port connection is
made through a DE9S female connector. This port allows you to connect to a
computer using terminal emulation software for remote monitoring an control. Whe n
connecting to this port, use a shielded direct connect cable. See Provisioning the
TP500 PTP Client Module, on page 77, for default settings.
IEEE 1588 Remote Management Port
The RJ-45 connector labeled “1588” is the connection into the network that is
providing the grandmaster clock(s). This same connection is also used for remote
management.

TimeWatch Probe Module (TA 7500 only)
TimeWatch Probe Module (TA 7500 only)
TimeAnalyzer 7500 includes the TimeWatch probe module, which is designed to
perform an MRTIE measurement between two external clock input s. Th e input s are
independent and each can be either a 2.048 MHz clock or an E1 2.048 Mbit/s
signal. The probe module uses an internal TIE measurement engine tha t compares
two external inputs at 80 samples per second (80Hz) and calculates the relative
phase. This data is averaged to produce one TIE value for each second, this is then
used to calculate the MRTIE between the two inputs.
The calculated MRTIE is a worst case MRTIE from the start of the measurement
period which begins at probe initialization and is restarted if the mask is exceeded.
The computed MRTIE is compared against the chosen mask, and an exception is
generated if the mask is exceeded. The probe module’s firmware handles
communications with the attached PC application, whether T imeMonit or Watch or a
terminal, formats and then streams the live TIE measurement data directly to the
application. The application can then be used to view, store and further analyze the
measurement data.
Figure 1-9. TimeWatch Probe Module Front Panel
TimeWatch Probe Module Connections (TA 7500 only)
The probe module’s front-panel connectors are as follows:
Measure In (BNC)
M(R)TIE is computed on the relative phase between this input and the Ref In input .
The interface must be configured to be a full height 2.048Mbit/s (G.703 sec. 9), a
30dB down 2.048Mbit/s signal (G.703 sec. 9) or a 2.048MHz signal (G.703 sec. 13).
Ref In (BNC)
This input is used for the input of a reference clock signal. MRTIE is computed on
the relative phase between this input and the Measure In interface. The interface
must be configured to be a full height 2.048Mbit/s (G.703 sec. 9), a 30dB down
2.048Mbit/s signal (G.703 sec. 9) or a 2.048MHz signal (G.703 sec. 13).
Aux Out (BNC)
Can optionally provide a buffered copy of the Ref In signal; this interface can on ly be
used if the Ref In interface is a 2.048MHz signal.

LAN (RJ45)
This connector is used for connecting the probe to an Ethernet network to enable
communication with the server. It is available on all TimeWatch variants. The probe
will automatically detect the data rate of the network; however it may be necessary
to configure other network parameters before normal operation. This port will
auto-negotiate and run at speeds of either 10 or 100BASE-T.
Alarm Relay Contact
This interface uses a three pin terminal block with Normally Open, Common and
Normally Closed pins. It can optionally be connected to an external alarm
management system. If an MTIE exception occurs, the relays will be switched and
will remain in the active state until a minimum of 15 minutes after MTIE is within the
configured mask. The relay will also be in its alarm state if power fails to the probe
or if any hardware fault is detected, for example loss of Measure In signal.
Power (-48vDC)
This is the power supply connector and has four pins. Pin 1 is the positive voltage
V+, nominally 0V; pin 2 is the negative voltage, nominally -48V; pin 3 is ground; pin
4 is unused. Power is provided from TimeAnalyzer’s power distribution panel.

Other GPS Antenna Options
In the event that the optional portable GPS antenna is not adequate for specific
applications, users can order Symmetricom GPS L1 antenna kits or provide their
own GPS antennas. See Appendix C in the TimeProvider 5000 User’s Guide for
GPS L1 antenna kits that are compatible with the TP5000 Probe.
Required Gain to GPS Engine
It is important to select the proper gain antenna and coaxial cable that accounts for
the insertion loss between the antenna and the radio receiver to avoid under-driving
or over-driving the radio receiver antenna input. The gain required at 1575 MHz for
a GPS radio receiver input is the manufacturer’s specification for the radio receiver
to acquire satellites, with some level of signal degradation allowed.
L1 Antenna gains are usually specified as the minimum effective gain. Such
antenna gains can have 4.5 to 10 dB more signal strength at different satellite
azimuths and elevations, depending on their reception pattern. The GPS engine of
the TP5000 probe requires a gain at the antenna connector input of the chassis to
be between
25 dB and 35 dB. This tolerance allows for the signal loss of the internal
coaxial cable and connectors. The optimal gain at the radio receiver input is 30 dB.
The total gain is the gain of the GPS antenna less the loss of the transient
eliminator, connectors, and cables.
Antenna Placement and Mounting
Mount the antenna outside, preferably on the roof with a clear view of the sky , as the
cable length allows. 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.
If fixed mounting is not possible or practical for a Symmetricom GPS antenna kit or
user supplied antenna, a tripod can be used for temporary antenna mounting.

Connecting the GPS Antenna
Locating the Antenna
The 5 meter cable length may limit some placement options in some locations. Use
Figure 2-15 as a guide to locating the antenna.
Figure 2-15. Locating the GPS Antenna
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 chass is.
Symmetricom does not recommend cutting the antenna cable
provided with the GPS Antenna.
Caution: To avoid damage to the GPS antenna, do not place the
antenna where high-power radio signals are beamed directly at the
unit. Such signals can damage the preamplifier of the GPS antenna.
32 TimeAnalyzer 7x00 User’s Guide 098-00208-000 Revision A – February, 2010
Page 35
Chapter 2 Setting Up
Connecting the GPS Antenna
Recommendation: Symmetricom recommends that you consider the
following location and environment influences before installing the
GPS antenna:
If possible, provide the antenna with an unobstructed 360-degree
view of the sky from the horizon.
In general, do not allow obstructions that obscure the horizon (as
viewed from the antenna) by more than 10 degrees, as shown in
Figure 2-15.
Locate the antenna well away from, an d pr ef er ab ly in a pl a ne
above electrical equipment such as elevators, air conditioners, or
other machinery.
To reduce the risk of lightning damage, do not place the antenna at
the highest point of the building.
Locate the GPS antenna at least 12 feet from metallic objects, if
possible.
Locate the antenna high enough to avoid drifted sn ow.
Locate the transient eliminator in a protected area to avoid contact
with standing water.
Locate the antenna within 30 feet of the point at which the antenna
cable enters the building.
Allow at least 10 feet of separation distance between GPS
antennas.
Surfaces above the plane of the unit that are between the antenna
and the horizon can produce reflected (multi-path) signals, which
can degrade the performance of the radio receiver.
Developing a Grounding Scheme
In addition to determining where to locate and mount the antenna and cabling, you
should develop a grounding scheme. The purpose of the grounding scheme is to
provide some protection against voltage surges and static discharge. If transient
eliminators are used, they also need to be connected to the perimeter ground
system or bulkhead entrance panel that is connected to the perimeter ground
system.
Caution: To ensure proper grounding, observe these precautions
when installing the antenna:
Allow no sharp bends in the ground conduct ors.
Ensure that no painted surface insulates the transient eliminator or
grounding clamps.
Ensure that ground conductors are bonded to the metal enclosure
box (if used) and do not enter through an access hole.
Do not use soldered connections for grounding purposes.
Secure all grounding connections with mechanical clamp type
connectors.

Chapter 2 Setting Up
Connecting the GPS Antenna
In general, follow local building codes when selecting a grounding scheme, wire
size, and installation.
Use #6 AWG (13.3 mm) copper ground wire or larger, depending on the distance
to the earth ground electrode. Refer to your local electrical codes for specific
details. In most cases, 1/0 AWG (55.0 mm) ground wire will maintain 1/10 the
resistance of the coaxial shied..
Connect transient eliminators, if part of the grounding scheme, to earth ground
through a conductor.
Symmetricom makes no recommendation as to whether to install transient
eliminators. Symmetricom can provide suitable transient eliminators as an option.
Note: Larger ground conductors provide better transient elimination;
that is, the larger the ground conductor, the less likely the chance of
transients.
Note: Do not connect the outside transient eliminator ground to the
inside equipment rack ground. Doing so can defeat the protection
afforded by the transient eliminator.
Never connect antenna systems to the same earth ground connector as heating
and cooling systems, elevator or pump motors, or other motors or machinery
which can induce noise in the antenna system.

Setting IP Address for MGMT Port of TP5000 Probe Module
The TimeProvider 5000 module supports static IP addresses (default) as well as
dynamically allocated addresses on the MGMT (Management) port. The
dynamically allocated address requires a connection to a DHCP server. When
provisioning the unit for static IP address, you can set the Host address, Mask
address, and Gateway address, or you can set the addresses to the factory default.
To set up and manage the TP5000 probe module with a terminal or a computer with
terminal emulation, you must establish either a serial connection or an Ethernet
connection.
Note: Before you can communicate with the TP50 00 prob e mo d ule
through an Ethernet connection, you must first configure the Ethernet
port using the serial connection.
Communicating Through the Serial Port
An EIA-232 serial port is available on the IMC module for a direct serial connection
to a terminal or a computer with terminal emulation. Use the following procedure to
connect the TP5000 probe module to a terminal or a computer with terminal
emulation via a straight through serial cable:
Note: For information on restricting user access, see Managing the
TP5000 Module’s User Access List, on page 65.
1. Connect one end of a straight-through serial cable to the serial port on the
computer or terminal and the other end to the EIA-232 connector on the IMC.
2. Configure the emulation software for 8 dat a bit s, 1 stop bit, no p arity, 57600 baud
rate, and no flow control. For details on how to do this with T imeMonitor PDV, see
Configuring RS-232 Parameters, on page 55.
3. Start the terminal emulation software and press Enter. The system prompt
should appear. If it does not, recheck each step in this procedure.
4. Type your user name and press Enter. The system prompts for a password.

TimeWatch Probe Module Configuration
TimeWatch Probe Module Configuration
This section provides information on configuring the TimeWatch probe module.
Connecting to the TimeWatch Probe Module
On or prior to installation the probe must be configured to setup its IP address. A
menu-driven ASCII interface is available on the RS-232 Management Port and
telnet/SSH on the Ethernet port.
Connect Via RS-232
First, connect to the Management Port (9-way female D-Type) of the TimeWatch
probe module using the serial-to-USB cable. Use a terminal emulator like
HyperTerminal to communicate with the probe module; the interface is configured to
operate at 115,200 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
The terminal emulator should be set to emulate VT102; under HyperTerminal this
mode is not fully tested so use auto-detect or VT100J mode. In HyperTerminal the
boxes will be drawn with other characters but the application will function correctly.
Chapter 3 Configuring
Tera Term Pro can emulate VT102 correctly and works well with the TimeWatch
module . It can be downloaded from
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html. On connection to the probe
a login prompt will be displayed - press enter if thisdoes not occur. It may be
necessary to power-cycle the probe to obtain the prompt, which will appear after
startup messages. After connection a login screen will show. Enter the username
swconf and when prompted enter the password fr7ebi. This will enter the
menu-driven configuration interface as described below.
Notes: The Default user name and password for the TimeWatch
module are:

Chapter 3 Configuring
TimeWatch Probe Module Configuration
Connect Via Ethernet
It is also possible to use a telnet or SSH connection to configure the Probe. A
crossover Ethernet cable or Ethernet hub with no network connection is required to
connect a PC to the Ethernet port if it is not on an existing network.
Notes: The Windows "telnet" program will not correctly connect to the
probe, so an alternative application is required. Symmetricom
recommends 'Putty', which is available on the TimeAn alyzerr 7500
support CD. It is also available at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Using a telnet/SSH client (not Windows telnet), connect to the probe. After
connection a login screen will show. Enter the username swconf and when
prompted enter the password fr7ebi. This will enter a menu-driven configuration
interface as described in the following section.
Configure the Management PC
The factory default address of the probe is 192.168.1.10. It will be necessary to
change the IP address of the PC configuring the probe. Under Windows this can be
achieved by opening Network and Dial-up Connections from Control Panel,
right-clicking on Local Area Connection, selecting Properties, selecting Internet
Protocol, and selecting Properties. Set the IP address to 192.168.1.2 and subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0. If the IP address of the probe has been previously changed
then the new IP address needs to be entered via telnet or SSH; the PC must be
connected to the same network. If the IP address of the probe is not known this can
be changed or retrieved as detailed in Connect Via RS-232 above.
Notes: The Default IP address for the TimeWatch module is:
IP Address 192.168.1.10
Notes: To avoid connectivity problems, remember to reset the IP
address of the PC before attempting to connect to other networks.
Configuring the TimeWatch Probe Module
This section describes the TimeWatch probe module menus. Only the General and
Ethernet menus are needed to configure TImeWatch with the TimeAnalyzer 7500.
Other menus may be described but can be ignored. See the TimeWatch Operation

The Standard variant of the TimeWatch module is designed to perform an MRTIE
measurement between two external clock inputs. The inputs are independent and
each can be either a 2.048 MHz clock or an E1 2.048 Mbit/s signal. The probe
module uses an internal TIE measurement engine that compares two external
inputs at 80 samples per second (80Hz) and calculates the relative phase. This data
is averaged to produce one TIE value for each second, this is then used to calculate
the MRTIE between the two inputs.
