The Symmetricom® TimeProvider™ 2700 is an IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol
(PTP) Grandmaster scaled and optimized for deployment to support small cells and
to meet the stringent phase timing and synchronization requirements of 4G/LTE
networks.
With an integrated GNSS receiver (GPS or GLONASS) the TimeProvider 2700
meets requirements of the ITU-T G.8272 standard for a Primary Reference Time
Clock (PRTC). It can operate in Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) networks, and
supports from 8 to 64 PTP clients. The TimeProvider 2700 offers the optional
capability to accept a PTP input or T1/E1 input to complement and backup the
GNSS signal. Additional output capabilities allow it to support legacy frequency
timing applications.
The TimeProvider 2300 Advanced Boundary Clock accepts PTP input. It can

SyncE Input and Output
2 Gigabit Ethernet PTP/SyncE Interfaces (SFP or RJ45)
The TimeProvider 2300/2700 also provides several software options. An activation
key is required to access these options, which include:
Greater client capacity: Client capacity can be increased from 8 to 16, 32, or
64, clients, allowing network engineers to design for capacity they need today
and be protected for increased requirements in the future.
GPS and GLONASS: The basic model of the TP 2700 uses GPS and GLONASS
signals as its primary reference. A software license option adds support for
concurrent GPS and GLONASS signals, adding another dimension of sync
protection for your network. Use of GLONASS requires different antennas than if
only GPS is used. (The TP 2300 does not have GNSS.)
PTP Input: Employing PTP distributed over the backhaul network provides a
backup to GNSS, allowing the oscillator to hold accurate timing longer than
otherwise possible. The PTP client option, enabling a boundary clock function,
includes advanced algorithms that compensate for network
asymmetry-particularly important for LTE-TDD and LTE-A networks with tight
phase synchronization requirements. The PTP Input License is included as part
of the TP 2300 base model.
SyncE Output: Synchronous Ethernet provides a stable frequency reference for
Ethernet networks. This software option enables SyncE on the Ethernet output
port, operating in conjunction with PTP output on the same port. SyncE on the
Ethernet input port is supported in the basic configuration.
E1/T1 Input/Output: The E1/T1 software option activates this interface for
frequency synchronization of equipment using this established reference for
timing.
PPS+TOD RS422 Output: Commonly used in test equipment and other devices,
this option enables an RS422 port for Pulse Per Second (PPS) and Time of Day
(TOD) signals
See TimeProvider 2300/2700 Part Numbers, on page 267 for part numbers for all
available options.
Activation keys are associated with the serial number of the device on which the
keys are stored and travel with that device. The user must manually enter key(s)
with CLI commands to gain access to the licensed software options.
Security Features
The TP 2300/2700 was designed to provide a high level of security on the Ethernet
ports. The protocols running on the unit run from behind an internal firewall. This
allows access to the UDP ports to be limited or completely inaccessible by other
systems.
Each of the service ports only allows PTP, ICMP, and IGMP. The MGMT port allows
user-configuration of the firewall, which includes ICMP, FTP, SSH, telnet,
HTTPS/HTTP and SNMP.
The ETH1 and ETH2 service ports do not support routing protocols between the
ports. This prevents a malicious attack on the ETH1 port (network 1) to be used to
send a malicious attack via the ETH2 port (network 2) or vice-versa.
The ETH1 and ETH2 service ports also include a hardware traffic limiter. If the
number of packets per second exceeds the limit, the unit will generate an alarm
indicating excessive traffic is being seen. This could be an indication of a malicious
attack or it could also be a large number of clients requesting service from the
server. The system will drop packets received in excess of the limit. Packets
received below the limit will be handled normally.
If the ETH1 and ETH2 service ports do come under attack, only the ports under
attack will be affected due to the system's architecture. The MGMT port will
continue to provide all management facilities for the system during this type of
attack. To minimize system resource usage and deter denial of service attacks, the
system is configured to allow a maximum ICMP ping request rate of 16 per second.
Conclusions
The TP 2300/2700's architecture isolates functional areas such as user
interfaces and output signal generation to minimize the possible corruption of
time and frequency outputs.
Only service-specific UDP protocols are enabled.
From a system security perspective the TP 2300/2700 provides the highest level
of security while providing very accurate time and frequency outputs. However, it
also requires that the user implement best-practice security safeguards in their
networks for the most robust levels of security.

GR-1089, R9-17 [82].
Run a 16 AWG green/yellow-striped insulated wire from the TimeProvider
2300/2700 grounding terminal to the earth Ground on the rack. The rack grounding
method is below.
Recommendation: Although there are a number of methods for
connecting the equipment to earth ground, Symmetricom
recommends running a cable of the shortest possible length from the
ground lug to earth ground.
1. Crimp the customer-supplied UL listed Ring Lug to one end of the 16 AWG wire.
Connect the ring lug to the ground terminal on the left side of the front panel
using the supplied M4 Kept machine nut, tightening to a torque value of 15.95
in-lbs. The surface of the TimeProvider 2300/2700 earth grounding terminal must
be clean of contaminants and oxidation.
2. Crimp the appropriate customer-supplied UL listed Ring Lug to the other end of
the 1 mm² / 16 AWG green/yellow-striped wire. Remove the paint and sand the
area around the screw hole to ensure the proper conductivity. Coat the
connection with an electrically conductive antioxidant compound such as
Kopr-shield spray. Connect this Ring Lug to the rack with appropriate customer
supplied screws and external star lock washers, tightening to a torque value of
53.45 in-lbs.
3. Using a digital voltmeter, measure between the ground and chassis and verify
that no voltage exists between them.

This chapter describes the CLI command conventions, the prompts, line editing
functions, and command syntax. The CLI command functions and features are
organized by user security access levels and are listed alphabetically.
The Command Line Interface (CLI), also called the ASCII command set, can be
used to control the TimeProvider 2300/2700 from a terminal connected to the
EIA-232 serial port, or the Ethernet port.
TimeProvider 2300/2700 CLI Command Conventions
The following are conventions used for the TimeProvider 2300/2700 CLI command
set.
Commands are not case sensitive.
{ } Braces indicate more than one parameter data option. When entering
options in the CLI command, enter one option from those available within the
braces. Options within braces { } are separated by a pipe ( | ).
[ ] Brackets provide information about the allowed range. The first value is the
minimum, and the last value is the maximum.
Bold highlights keywords in the command syntax
Italics indicate variable options.
CLI Command Keyboard Usage
You must press the SPACE key, and then press the TAB key after entering a CLI
command. Also, after entering a command, you may see <enter>. This is a
prompt for you to press ENTER to execute the command that you entered.
The interface has built-in features for navigating within the CLI command
hierarchy, which are as follows:
The TAB key can be used at any time while typing a command (including at the
prompt) to provide continuation options. Press the TAB key to display a list of the
available commands. Press the TAB key at any time while typing a command
TimeProvider 2300/2700 will respond with the completion of the keyword or
available completion choices based on the letters you typed.
The ? (SHIFT+QUESTION MARK) accesses the CLI online help. It can be used
at any time while typing a command (including at the prompt) to provide
continuation options. These options include brief descriptions of commands, or
data type, format, and range.
If typing of a keyword is partially complete, the completion will display if it is
unique, otherwise, the completion choices will be available.
If the keyword is complete, and you press the TAB key or ? (SHIFT+QUESTION
MARK), the choices for the next syntax element will display.
In the following example, if you press the TAB key, or the ?
(SHIFT+QUESTION MARK), after typing s, the CLI commands set, set-timeout, show, and sync display.
Typing s at the prompt:
TP2700> s
Then pressing the TAB key :
setset-timeoutshowsync
Or pressing the ? (SHIFT+QUESTION MARK)will display the available
commands that start with s (for this example) and brief descriptions of those
commands:
set-Set TP2700 information or setting
show-Display TP2700 information or setting
set-session-timeout-Set the inactivity timeout to the defined
seconds
Previously typed commands can be recalled by using the UP ARROW key. You
can recall up to five previously typed commands. Continually pressing UP
ARROW will show previously typed commands but does not cycle. After pressing
the UP ARROW key five times, you will go back to the last command you
previously typed. Use the DOWN ARROW key to cycle the five prior typed
commands in the opposite direction.
You can use the BACKSPACE to correct keystroke errors, or to reuse parts of a
previously typed command. When using BACKSPACE, the removed characters
will still appear on the screen, but they have been removed to the position shown
by the cursor. When you start typing, the removed characters are overwritten.
Command Line Format
The command line format is as follows:
[Verb] Command [Parameter] [Data] EOL
Verb - the type of action to be taken with the command.
– Set - enables you to provision a defined parameter.
– Show - enables you to display the provisioned state of a parameter.
Parameter - command input that defines the particular command element to be
shown or modified.
Data - the data input for the parameter.
EOL - this parser responds only to <CR Return>. When the parser receives
<CR Return>, the input is terminated, and the command line entry is processed.
The TimeProvider 2300/2700 provides a hierarchy of CLI command user levels that
permit an increasing level of access to system parameters. This allows the system
administrator to add users who can only view but not change system parameters
and users who can view and change system parameters.
The users assigned to each security level have access options available as follows:
Level 1 - user class, with read-only rights
Level 2 - config user class, with read-write rights
Level 3 - administrator user class, with read-write rights and can also configure
users and upgrade firmware

Note: The TimeProvider 2300/2700 requires a license to enable
access to the concurrent GPS and GLONASS feature.
To change the GNSS position mode:
set gnss posmode auto
or
set gnss posmode manual latitude <lat-value> longitude
<lon-value> height <height-value>
– Position can only be provisioned manually when GNSS posmode is
“manual”.
Where
Latitude is in the format N|Sddd:mm:ss.sss, for example:
N37:22:45.123
S48:33:67.456
Longitude is in the format E|Wddd:mm:ss.sss, for example:
W121:55:36.123
E157:33:47.456
Height is in meters with one digit after the decimal point, for
example:
17.5
Note: Symmetricom recommends that the Auto mode be used. Any
error in the manually-specified system position will generate timing
errors.
See Table B-25 for cable delay values. The delay values shown correspond to the
cable kit being used in its entirety without modification. The values assume that a
splitter is not used. Splitters are not recommended.
Example 1:
To set GNSS position mode to auto:
TP2700>set gnss posmode auto
Example 2:
To manually set the GNSS with a system position of latitude of N37:22:45.123,
longitude of W121:55:36.123, and a height 17.5 meters
TP2700>set gnss posmode manual latitude N37:22:45.123
longitude W121:55:36.123 height 17.5
Example 3:
To enable GNSS on the GNSS port:
TP2700>set gnss state enable
Example 4:
To set the GNSS mask to a value of 25 degrees:
TP2700>set gnss mask 25
Example 5:
To set the GNSS cable delay to a value of 220 nanoseconds:
TP2700>set gnss cable-delay 220
Restrictions: The system must have the GNSS posmode provisioned as “manual”
before you can successfully provision the position manually.
This command displays the firmware image and the firmware version in the system.
The backup image is the non-active image.
Command Syntax:
show image
Example:
tp2700> show image
Response:
SYSTEM IMAGE DETAILS
Active image : 2 1.0.3
Backup image : 1 1.0.2
Next boot image : 2
Level :User, Config, and Admin
set image
Use this command to provision the firmware image from which to boot. The backup
image is the non-active image.
Note: Each image has its own set of configuration data. When Image
1 is set as the boot image, the configuration data for Image 1 is
applied when the TP 2300/2700 is rebooted. When Image 2 is set as
the boot image, the configuration data for Image 2 is applied when the
TP 2300/2700 is rebooted.
A firmware upgrade is applied to the backup image, and the backup
image is set to be the next boot image. The TP 2300/2700 copies the
currently running configuration data to the data used with the next
boot. Therefore, the configuration should be the same after rebooting,
except for changes due to differences in supported configuration
items between firmware revisions.
This command displays the current configuration or status for input signals for the
T1/E1 port. The values displayed with this command will be applied to the T1/E1
port only when the IO-direction of the port is configured as an Input with the
port-control t1e1 io input
Command Syntax:
show input config <port-name>
show input status <port-name>
Example 1:
TP2700> show input config t1e1
Response 1a:
Input config
set
command.
-------------------------------------------------|
| signal | Frame Type | CRC | ssmbit |
|------------|-------------|---------|-----------|
| e1 input | cas | enable | 6 |
– Line code, SSMBIT and CRC do not apply to freq2048khz, and
freq1544khz.
– CRC for T1 input is not user-configurable. It is always ENABLE for ESF,
and does not apply for D4.
– SSMBIT only applies to E1 frame signal CCS or CAS.
– Use the "show ref" command to display SSM state information.
When the T1/E1 port is configured as an input port, use this command to provision
all other configurable parameters for the input signal on the T1/E1 port:
All the configurations provisioned by this command apply to the T1/E1 input port
only when the IO-direction of the port is configured as an Input with the
port-control t1e1 io input
Command Syntax:
To set the frametype, CRC, and SSM bit position for E1 Input:
set input e1 frametype t1e1 {ccs | cas | freq2048kz}
set input e1 crc t1e1 {enable | disable}
set input e1 ssmbit t1e1 {4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8}
set
command.
To set the frametype for T1 Input:
set input t1 frametype t1e1 {d4 | esf | freq1544kz}
Example 1:
To provision the T1/E1 port for E1 input with CAS frametype, CRC enabled, with
SSM bit position of 6:
TP2700> set input e1 frametype t1e1 cas
TP2700> set input e1 crc t1e1 enable
TP2700> set input e1 ssmbit t1e1 6
Example 2:
To provision the T1/E1 port for T1 input with D4 frametype:
TP2700> set input t1 frametype t1e1 d4
Remarks:
– The port state, IO direction (input or output) and signal type (e1 or t1) are
configured by
set port-control command.
– No user provisioning for line code when the port is set as input by
port-control
command. It is hardcoded as HDB3 for E1 and B8ZS for
set
T1 (zs=enable, i.e., zero suppression is on), and in this way, the input port
will accepts both HDB3 (B8ZS for t1) and AMI code.
