Chapter 1 Overview
Overview
Overview
The TimeProvider 5000 is a Next Generation Network (NGN) packet-based timing
and frequency device that combines the functionality of a highly-accurate, IEEE
1588 2008 Grand Master Clock and/or NTP server with T1/E1 I/O ports,
1PPS/10MHz and expansion (DTI) interconnect ports, and 1PPS+TOD inputs. The
TimeProvider 5000, available with either a Quartz or Rubidium oscillator,
incorporates hardware-based time stamping to provide the highest level of timing
and frequency accuracy over a broad range of wireline and wireless application.
The TimeProvider 5000 system consists of a TP5000, a new TimeProvider E10
output expansion shelf with Gigabit SyncE/PTP, and a new TimeProvider E30
output expansion shelf with E1 and 1PPS+TOD port s. This document describes the
TimeProvider 5000 system.
A new functionality for the TimeProvider 5000 is NTP server capability, which
supports up to a maximum of 120,000 NTP transactions/second in unicast mode.
The TimeProvider 5000 can be p urchased as either a dedicated NTP server or as a
unit which supports both PTP and NTP.
TimeProvider 5000 Features
TimeProvider E30 E1 / 1PPS+TOD expansion shelf (optional)
TimeProvider E10 PTP / SyncE expansion shelf (optional)

Software Options
The TimeProvider 5000 also provides severa l sof tware o ptions. An activation key is
required to access these options. Table 1-1 lists all options for the TP 5000.

option from v1.0 or v1.2
(Adds availability of Ports 9-16 to standard 8 ports)
There is no expiration date for option keys, with the exception of a demo license that
was offered for the v1.2 release.
Keys are associated with the serial number of the device on which the keys are
stored and travel with that device. This is the IMC card for all software options,
except for the 16-port option for a TP E10 Ethernet expansion shelf. When an IMC
is replaced, keys in the old IMC do not transfer to the replacement IMC. The new
IMC will need its own keys for the desired software options releases. The 16-port
group key for a TP E10 Ethernet expansion shelf, which is based on the serial
number of the expansion shelf, will stay with the expansion shelf on which it is
installed.
The user must manually enter key(s) with CLI commands to gain access to the
licensed software options.

Chapter 1 Overview
Overview
Security Features
The TP5000 was designed to provide a high level of security on the Ethernet ports.
The protocols running on the module run behind an internal firewall on the module.
This allows access to the UDP ports to be limited or completely inaccessible by
other systems.
Each of the service ports only allows NTP, PTP, ICMP, and IGMP. The IMC allows
user-configuration of the firewall, which includes ICMP, FTP, SFTP, SSH, telnet, and
SNMP.
If a service port is configured to run PTP, then it will ignore NTP packets and
vice-versa. If the port is configured for unicast service, then multicast packets are
ignored.
The service ports do not support routing protocols between the ports. This prevents
a malicious attack on Port 1 (network 1) to be used to send a malicious attack via
Port 2 (network 2) or vice-versa. This applies to both on the IOC modules and also
the 16 ports on the TP E10 expansion shelf.
The service ports also include a hardware traffic limiter. If the number of packets per
second exceeds the limit, the module will generate an alarm indicating excessive
traffic is being seen. This could be an indication of a malicious att ack 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 re ceived below the limit will be
handled normally.
If the service ports do come under attack, only the module under attack will be
affected due to the system's architecture. The IMC 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 1 per second.
Conclusions
The TP5000's architecture isolates functional areas such as user interfaces, the
module-to-module interface, and output signal generation to minimize the
possible corruption of time and frequency outputs.
Only service specific UDP protocols are enabled on the IMC or IOC modules, or
the TP E10 expansion shel ves.
From a system security perspective the TP5000 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.

TimeProvider 5000 Expansion Shelf System
The TimeProvider 5000 expansion shelf system consists of a TP5000 with
expansion versions of the IMC and I/O cards, a new TimeProvider E10 output
expansion shelf with Gigabit SyncE/PTP ports, and a new TimeProvider E30 output
expansion shelf with E1 and 1PPS+TOD ports.
The TP 5000 expansion shelf system supports two IOC cards in 1+1 redundant
configuration. These two IOC cards track one or more of the time and frequency
reference inputs and provide the stable time and fre quency signals that are used to
generate output synchronization signals. The 090-50331-04 version of the IMC
supports the Beidou satellite system. The 090-50301-02 chassis, 090-5031 5-01 I/O
module and the 090-50331-02, 090-50331-04, and 090-50331-05 versions of the
IMC will support 1PPS+TOD inputs. The 090-50331-02, 090-50331-04, and
090-50331-05 versions of the IMC support the expansion shelves.
Functionally the TimeProvider 5000 system can be thought of as a BITS or SSU in a
central office or a secondary office. It accepts time and frequency reference inputs
in multiple formats, and it provides time and frequency synchronization signals to
the network equipment in the office.
Figure 1-16 shows the physical interfaces of a typical TimeProvider 5000 expansion
shelf system that consists of a TP5000 and two output expansion shelves.

Chapter 1 Overview
Functional Description
The TP5000 has four primary functions in the system:
Input shelf for the system
Timing synchronization source to expansion shelves using DTI
External management interface
Controller for the expansion shelves in the system.
In the TimeProvider 5000 expansion shelf system, expansion shelves are primarily
output shelves. They use the time and frequency information from the TP5000 and
convert them to different synchronization signal formats. Symmetricom offers two
types of expansion shelves for the TP5000: the TimeProvider E30 expansion shelf
provides E1 and 1PPS+TOD outputs and the TimeProvider E10 expansion shelf
provides PTP and SyncE outputs. More outputs can be added by adding
appropriate expansion shelves.
Expansion Connections
The TP 5000 provides time and frequency to the expansion shelves through DTI
links in the expansion interface. The TP5000 controls and manages the expansion
shelves through Ethernet in the expansion interface. The Ethernet management link
and the DTI links share the same physical RJ-45 connector but they are logically
two separate networks.

The expansion ports are standard 10/100Base-T shielded RJ-45 receptacles. To
connect the TimeProvider 5000 to an expansion shelf (TP E30 E1/1PPS+TOD or
TP E10 SyncE/PTP, use a standard twisted pair Ethernet RJ-45 cable (CAT5
minimum). The Ethernet management link and the DTI links share the same
physical RJ-45 connector, as shown in Figure 2-14, but they are logically two
separate networks. The expansion port from the IMC must always be used when
using expansion shelves to provide management messages via Ethernet. (The
expansion ports on the I/O card only provide DTI.)
Signal NamePin
Figure 2-20 shows the expansion connections for a TP 5000 with a single
expansion shelf, with redundant DTI connections from the expansion ports on the
IMC and I/O cards. Figure 2-21 shows the expansion connections for a TP 5000
with five expansion shelves. Redundant DTI connections for the IN1 and IN2 ports
on each expansion shelf are used to protect against various failure scenarios.
The EIA-232 serial port connection is made through a EIA-232 fe male connector on
the IMC. This ports allow you to connect to a terminal or computer using a terminal
emulation software package for remote monitoring and con trol. When connecting to
this port, use a shielded EIA-232 direct connect cable.
Figure 2-15 shows the EIA-232 male connector pin assignments for the serial port.
Figure 2-15. Serial Port Male Connector Pins
Table 2-3 describes the EIA-232 connector pin assignments for the serial port.
The basic version TimeProvider 5000 has one GPS input on the IMC module and
two redundant PTP timing outputs on each IOC module. There are also four
connections on the I/O module, two of which can be outputs or inputs and two
connections that are dedicated outputs. The version of the I/O module determines
the configuration of the I/O connections:

Expansion Connections
The TP5000 provides timing to the expansion shelves through two DTI links. The
090-50315-01 version of the I/O card features two standard shielded RJ-45
receptacles, labeled EXP-1 and EXP-2, as shown in Figure 2-19. The
090-50311-01, 090-50312-01, 090-50314-01 versions of the I/O card feature two
standard shielded RJ-45 receptacles, labeled UTI-1 and UTI-2, as shown in
Figure 2-18 and Figure 2-19, which are also used for DTI signals. The expansion
shelves use the time and frequency information from the TP5000 and convert them
to different synchronization signal formats.
To connect the expansion (EXP) ports on the 090-50315-01 version of the TP 5000
I/O card to an expansion shelf (TP E10 or TP E30), use a standard twisted pair
Ethernet RJ-45 cable, CAT5 or better. See Table 2-6 for pin-outs for the EXP
expansion RJ-45 connectors on the I/O card.

TimeProvider E10 Synchronization and Timing Connections
The TimeProvider 5000 features 16 SFP output ports (see Figure 2-22). These
ports can provide the following signal types:
These ports are dedicated output ports with PTP signals that meet the IEEE-1588
v2 specifications. As with the two PTP ports on each TP 5000 IOC card, these 16
ports require Ethernet SFP connectors.
Figure 2-22. TP E10 - Output Connections for PTP/SyncE
Only the SFP transceivers in Table 2-4 are recommended and supported. Other
SFP transceivers are not supported and may cause the TP E10 expansion shelf to
not comply with regulatory requirements. SyncE is only available with optical SFP
transceivers.
Since the TP E10 expansion shelf uses PTP multicast, all 16 ports should be on
isolated Ethernet networks. Otherwise, only one of the ports will be the active
grandmaster due to the IEEE-1588 BMC algorithm
TP E10 - 1PPS Connection
The TP E10 expansion shelf also has an SMA connector that is a dedicated output
port with a 1PPS signal.

Making Ground and Power Connections
After installing the TimeProvider 5000 into the rack, connect the chassis to the
proper grounding zone or master ground bar. Run a 16 AWG green/yellow-striped
insulated wire from the TimeProvider 5000 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
and connect it to the ground terminal on the left side of the front panel using the
supplied M4 Kept machine nut. The surface of the TimeProvider 5000 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.
3. Using a digital voltmeter, measure between the ground and chassis and verify
that no voltage exists between them.
Power Connections
Use the following procedure to make the power connections:
Warning: To avoid possible damage to equipment, you must provide
power source protective fusing as part of the installation. The
TimeProvider 5000, TimeProvider E10 and TimeProvider E30 are
intended for installation in a restricted-access location.
Caution: To avoid damage to the unit, remove the fuses in the fuse
panel which provides power to the TimeProvider 5000, TimeProvider
E10 and TimeProvider E30 before making power connections.

CLI Overview
CLI Overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI), also called the ASCII command set, can be
used to control the TimeProvider 5000 from a terminal connected to the EIA-232
serial port, or the Ethernet port. See Figure 3-1 below for an overview of the TP5000
command set.

CLI Overview
TimeProvider 5000 CLI Command Conventions
The following are conventions used for the TimeProvider 5000 CLI command set .
Commands are 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 5000 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:
tp5000> s
Then pressing the TAB key :
setset-timeoutshowsync

CLI Overview
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 TP5000 information or setting
show-Display TP5000 information or setting
sync-Synchronize the TOD source
set-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 the UP
ARROW key will cycle you through the five previously typed commands. 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.
For all commands that indicate a specific port on an IOC card, the port will be
referred to as IOC-[y] or IOC1-[y] in the command description, where y=1 or 2. If
port redundancy is enabled, the bonded port will use the configuration for port 1
(y=1) for all commands.

Command User Levels
The TimeProvider 5000 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
