The Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Trimble's warranty (set out below) is in addition to any mandatory rights and remedies that you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Product Limited Warranty

Subject to the following terms and conditions, Trimble Inc. (“Trimble”) warrants that for a period of one (1) year from date of purchase this

Trimble product (the “Product”) will substantially conform to Trimble's

publicly available specifications for the Product and that the hardware and any storage media components of the Product will be substantially free from defects in materials and workmanship..

Product Software

Product software, whether built into hardware circuitry as firmware, provided as a standalone computer software product, embedded in flash memory, or stored on magnetic or other media, is licensed solely for use with or as an integral part of the Product and is not sold. If accompanied

by a separate end user license agreement (“EULA”), use of any such

software will be subject to the terms of such end user license agreement (including any differing limited warranty terms, exclusions, and limitations), which shall control over the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Except for the limited license rights expressly provided herein, Trimble and its suppliers have and will retain all rights, title and interest (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Product Software and all copies, modifications and derivative works thereof (including any changes which incorporate any of your ideas, feedback or suggestions).

You shall not (and shall not allow any third party to): (a) decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer the Product Software or attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or programming interfaces of the Product Software by any means whatsoever (except and only to the extent that applicable law prohibits or restricts reverse engineering restrictions); (b) distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or use the Product Software (or any portion thereof) for time sharing, hosting, service provider, or like purposes; (c) remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright, or other notices contained in the Product Software; (d) modify any part of the Product Software, create a derivative work of any part of the Product Software, or incorporate the Product Software into or with other software, except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by Trimble; (e) attempt to circumvent or disable the security key mechanism that protects the Product Software against unauthorized use (except and only to the extent that applicable law prohibits or restricts such restrictions); or (f) publicly disseminate performance information or analysis (including, without limitation, benchmarks) from any source relating to the Product Software. If the Product Software has been provided to you as embedded in any hardware device, you are not licensed to separate the Product Software from the hardware device. If the Product Software has been provided to you separately from a hardware device but is intended to be loaded onto a hardware device specified by Trimble (such as a firmware update), your license is limited to loading the Product Software on the device specified by Trimble, and for no other use.

Software Fixes

During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive such Fixes to the Product software that Trimble releases and makes commercially available and for which it does not charge separately, subject to the procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble products generally. If you have purchased the Product from a Trimble authorized dealer rather than from Trimble directly, Trimble may, at its option, forward the software Fix to the Trimble authorized dealer for final distribution to you. Minor Updates, Major Upgrades, new products, or substantially new software releases, as identified by Trimble, are expressly excluded from this update process and limited warranty. Receipt of software Fixes or other enhancements shall not serve to extend the limited warranty period. For

purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply: (1) “Fix(es)”

means an error correction or other update created to fix a previous software version that does not substantially conform to its Trimble

specifications; (2) “Minor Update” occurs when enhancements are made to current features in a software program; and (3) “Major Upgrade” occurs when significant new features are added to software, or

when a new product containing new features replaces the further development of a current product line. Trimble reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what constitutes a Fix, Minor Update, or Major Upgrade.

Warranty Remedies

If the Trimble Product fails during the warranty period for reasons covered by this limited warranty and you notify Trimble of such failure during the warranty period, Trimble will repair OR replace the nonconforming Product with new, equivalent to new, or

Page | 2

reconditioned parts or Product, OR refund the Product purchase price paid by you, at Trimble’s option, upon your return of the Product in accordance with Trimble's product return procedures then in effect.

NOTE – It is recommended that 1 rack-unit of space (1.75 in) be kept empty above the device. This allows a small amount of convectional airflow. Forced airflow is not required.

2.3 Connecting Power

The Thunderbolt TS200 supports single or dual redundant AC or DC power supplies. The Thunderbolt TS200 standard option is 48VDC. The Thunderbolt TS200 is capable of operating from -36Vdc to -72Vdc at a maximum current level of 250mA.

The DC input is reverse polarity protected. Reversing polarity with 48VDC options will not cause damage to the unit and the unit will operate normally.

NOTE – The power cable should be routed separately from the data (signal) cables.

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 23

Grounding the Device

The Thunderbolt TS200 M5 Terminal Stud on the back panel is used for grounding.

The Thunderbolt TS200 is suitable for connection to the Central Office and CPE. The Time Server Clock shall be located in a restricted access location where only crafts personnel are allowed access.

The Thunderbolt TS200 shall be grounded via a copper ground conductor. The unit shall be installed and connected to the common bonding network (CBN).

All bare grounding connection points to the Thunderbolt TS200 shall be cleaned and coated with an anti-oxidant solution before connections are made.

All surfaces on the Thunderbolt TS200 that are un-plated shall be brought to a bright finish and treated with and anti-oxidant solution before connection is made.

All non-conductive surfaces on the Thunderbolt TS200 shall be removed from all threads and connection points to ensure electrical continuity

The Thunderbolt TS200 DC power returns shall be treated as DC-I (Isolated from Frame Ground).

Thunderbolt TS200 requires a ring terminal with a 14-AWG wire that utilizes 15in-lbs to secure to primary ground.

Powering-Up

After verification of the input power source, switch on the power supply to the Thunderbolt TS200. The Green Power LED should turn ON.

2.4 GNSS Considerations

See the next chapter for a full description of how to choose the correct antenna cable/antenna combination.

When connected to a GNSS antenna the Thunderbolt TS200 can receive GNSS signal without user intervention– the factory default is GPS and GLONASS. The user can enable Beidou in place of GLONASS or enable single constellation mode.

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 24

The Trimble family of Bullet antennas is best matched with Thunderbolt TS200. The bullet antenna has following versions:

 Bullet III GPS only antenna  Bullet GG GPS and GLONASS antenna  Bullet L1/L2 GPS Dual Band – L1 and L2 frequencies  Bullet 40dB GPS L1 high gain (40dB) antenna  Bullet GB GPS and Beidou antenna  Bullet 360 GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo antenna

Connecting the GNSS antenna will turn the Antenna LED Green.

Selecting Site for GNSS Antenna

It is important that the GNSS antenna has the fullest possible view of the sky. In most cases, this means installing the antenna on a high point, such as roof top. Avoid overhanging objects such as trees and towers. Also take care to place the antenna away from low lying objects such as neighboring buildings that may block a portion of the sky near the horizon. If a full view of the sky is not possible, mount the antenna aiming towards the Equator to maximize the southern view of the sky (choose a northern view in the Southern Hemisphere).

Use the criteria below to select a good outdoor site for the GPS antenna. The best locations provide:

 Unobstructed views of the sky and horizon.  Low electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) –

away from high-power lines, transmitting antennas, and powerful electrical equipment.

 Convenient access for installation and maintenance.  Reasonable access for the antenna cable to reach the Thunderbolt TS200

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

3.1 GNSS Antenna

The antenna receives the GNSS satellite signals and passes them to the receiver. The GNSS signals are spread spectrum signals in the 1551MHz to 1614MHz range and do not penetrate conductive or opaque surfaces. Therefore, the antenna must be located outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The internal GNSS receiver requires an active antenna with integrated LNA. The received GNSS signals are very low power, approximately

-130dBm, at the surface of the earth. Trimble's active antenna includes a preamplifier that filters and amplifies the GNSS signals before delivery to the receiver.

The onboard circuits provide DC supply voltage on the SMA coax connector for the external, active GNSS antenna. The antenna supply voltage is fully protected against short circuit by the onboard Open/Short detection with integrated current limiter. The Thunderbolt TS200™ has a full antenna monitoring circuit on board.

Antenna requirements

The Thunderbolt TS200™ requires an active GNSS antenna with built-in Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for optimal performance. The antenna LNA amplifies the received satellite signals for two purposes:

a) Compensation of losses on the cable b) Lifting the signal amplitude in the suitable range for the receiver frontend.

Task b) requires an amplification of at least 15dB, while 20dB is the sweet spot for the Thunderbolt TS200™. This would be the required LNA gain if the antenna was directly attached to the receiver without cable in between.

The cable and connector between the antenna and the receiver cause signal loss. The overhead over the minimum required 15 dB and the actual LNA gain of the antenna is available for task a). So in case of a 30dB LNA gain in the antenna, 15 dB are available for compensating losses.

Or in other words, the attenuation of all elements (cables and connectors) between the antenna and the receiver can be up to a total of 15dB with a 30dB LNA. With a different antenna type, take the difference between 15dB and the antenna’s LNA gain as the available compensation capability. Subtract the insertion losses of all connectors from the 15dB (or whatever the number is) and the remainder is the maximum loss, which your cable must not exceed.

As the GNSS signals are hidden in the thermal noise floor, it is very important that the antenna LNA doesn’t add more noise than necessary to the system; therefore a low noise figure is even more important than the absolute amplification.

Trimble does not recommend having more than 35dB remaining gain (LNA gain minus all cable and connector losses) at the antenna input of the receiver module. The recommended range of remaining LNA gain at the connector of the receiver module is 20dB to 30dB with a minimum of 15dB and a maximum of 35dB.

3.2 Antenna Placement

Sky-Visibility

GNSS signals can only be received on a direct line of sight between antenna and satellite. The antenna should see as much as possible of the total sky. Seen from the northern hemisphere of the earth, more satellites will

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 31

be visible in the southern direction rather than in northern direction. The antenna should therefore have open view to the southern sky. If there are obstacles at the installation site, the antenna should be placed south of the obstacles, preferably, in order not to block sky-view to the south.

If the installation site is in the southern hemisphere of the earth, then the statements above are reversed – more satellites will be visible in the northern direction. Near to the equator, it doesn’t matter.

Partial sky visibility causes often poor DOP values due to the geometry of the visible satellites in the sky. If the receiver can only see a small area of the sky, the DOP has a high degree of uncertainty and will be worse compared to a condition with better geometric distribution. It may happen that a receiver is seeing 6 satellites, all close together, and still get a much worse DOP than a receiver which sees 4 satellites, but all in different corners of the sky. The receiver’s DOP filter rejects fixes with high DOP (high uncertainty), therefore it can take longer to get the first acceptable fix if sky visibility is partly obstructed.

Multipath-reflections

Multipath occurs when the GNSS signals are reflected by objects, such as metallic surfaces, walls and shielded glass for example. The antenna should not be placed near a wall, window or other large vertical objects if it can be avoided.

Jamming

Jamming occurs when the receiver function is disturbed by external RF sources that interfere with GNSS signals or saturate the antenna LNA or receiver front-end. A good indicator to detect jamming is switching off all other equipment except the GNSS. Watch the satellite signal levels in this condition. Then switch on other equipment and see if the signal levels go down. A drop of signal levels indicates interference to GNSS from the other equipment. This method cannot, however, detect all possible kinds of jamming. Spurious events are hard to catch. Low frequency fields, like 50 Hz, are unlikely to jam the receiver. Broadband sparks are a potential source of spurious jamming. There's no general installation rule or specification though, because the effect of jamming highly depends on the nature of the jamming signal and there are uncountable many variations possible, so that it's not possible to standardize a test scenario.

Ground Plane

A metal plate or surface under the antenna can block signal reflections from below. This is a good method to mitigate reflections, if the receiver is mounted on high masts or other elevated sites.

GNSS Antenna Cabling

Trimble recommends low loss coaxial cabling.

Using any length of coaxial cable will add some time delay to the GNSS signal, which affects the absolute accuracy of the computed time solution. The time delay is dependent on the type of dielectric material in the cable and ranges from 3.3 to 6.5ns/meter.

The Antenna Cable Delay advances the Hardware Clock slightly to cancel out the signal delay caused by the length of the GPS antenna cable. To calculate the adjustment, select the signal propagation rate for the appropriate cable type and multiply it by the length of the cable.

For example, the standard RG-59 antenna cable has a propagation rate of 4.07ns/meter. The delay for a 25meter cable will be 101.75ns (25 x 4.07 =101.75).

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 32

The outer shield on the GNSS cable shall be grounded to the chassis via the cable shell to the connector ground on the chassis. The connector ground is tied to the chassis. The chassis is connected to the primary ground which utilizes a ring terminal with a 14AWG wire connected to the rack. There are to be no breaks in the outer shield of the GNSS cable. Reference ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93.

NOTE – The GNSS antenna cable should only be connected when the unit is properly Earth grounded.

Lightning Considerations

Although, it is not possible to protect the antenna from a direct lightning strike, the connected devices can be protected from secondary effects through protection devices.

Trimble recommends installing an in-line lightning arrestors in the antenna line to protect the receiver and connected devices. In-line lightning arrestors are mounted on a low impedance ground between the antenna and the point where the cable enters the building.

4.4.6.3 set auth local

The set auth local command allows to configure the local password configuration requirements.

Command Syntax:

set auth type [local [<options>]

minlen <n> establishes a measure of complexity related to the password length (more in a moment

on this). Range: 2 < minlen < 30 lcredit <n> sets the minimum number of required lowercase letters. Range: |lcredit| < 6 ucredit <n> sets the minimum number of required uppercase letters Range: |ucredit| < 6 dcredit <n> sets the minimum number of required digits Range: |dcredit| < 6 ocredit <n> sets the minimum number of required other characters. These characters can be any printable character, except for space. Range: |ocredit| < 6

difok <yes|no> sets if the user is required to enter a different password when changing their password

(default 'yes') pre <o> Set a 'preconfigured' password criteria, where <o> is: p0 : require a minimum of 6 characters, no other requirements (default)

p1 : require at least 1 uppercase letter. The password must be at least 6 characters long. p2 : require at least 1 uppercase and 2 lowercase letters. The password must be at least 6 characters long. p3 : require at least 1 uppercase, 2 lowercase, and 1 number. The password must be at least 6 characters long. p4 : require at least 1 uppercase, 2 lowercase, 1 number and 1 'other' character. The password must be at least 6 characters long.

'minlen' is actually a measure of complexity, not simply length. It specifies a complexity score that must be reached for a password to be deemed as acceptable. If each character in a password added one to the complexity count, then minlen would simply represent the password length but, if some characters count more than once, the calculation is more complex. So let's see how this works.

The minlen complexity measure is calculated in a number of steps:

every character in a password yields one point, regardless of the type of character every lowercase letter adds one point, up to the value of lcredit every uppercase letter adds one point, up to the value of ucredit every digit adds one point, up to the value of dcredit every special character adds one point, up to the value of ocredit

If lcredit, ucredit, dcredit and ocredit were all set to 0, only the password length would be used to determine if it's acceptable. No characters would add extra points to the complexity score.



User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 40

When you set any of the lcredit, ucredit, dcredit or ocredit parameters to a negative number, then you MUST have at least that number of characters for each character class for the password to pass the complexity test.

Note: You can combine settings. For instance:

set auth local p1 dcredit -1

Would set the criteria to be: require at least 1 uppercase, 1 digit and a minimum length of 6 characters.

Examples include: set auth local minlen 12 set auth local pre p2 minlen 10

4.4.6.4 set auth type

The set auth type command allows changing of the authentication method used for user login. The authentication type is set on a per access portal type.

Command Syntax:

set auth type [local [<options>] / radius / tacacs] [<portal type>]



Where the authentication type is one of:

default Set the authentication to the default values, which is local for all portal types local Use only the locally stored username and passwords. These are maintained

with the 'set user' commands. See 'help set auth local' for additional options.

radius Use RADIUS as the authentication type. The RADIUS configuration can be set with

‘set auth radius’.

tacacs+ Use TACACS+ as the authentication type. The TACACS+ configuration can be set with

‘set auth tacacs[+]’.

disable Used to disable a portal. Only telnet may be disabled. To re-enable, select one of

the other authentication types.

where <portal type> is a comma separated (only!) list of:

serial set the front serial port access to the authentication type. This setting is not valid for

RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication types.

ssh enable SSH access for the authentication type telnet enable Telnet access for the authentication type web enable the webUI to use the authentication type snmp Allow snmp to use the authentication type (experimental). This is not valid for RADIUS

or TACACS+ authentication types.

all This is a unique setting in that it will enable all of the above.

NOTE – Note that only one authentication type may be set at a time.

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 41

This is a 'set' function and the only way to remove a portal assignment from an authentication type is by assigning that to another authentication type. That means that the settings of one type may alter the settings of another type as only one authentication type may be enabled per portal. That means that if you issue:

set auth type local ssh set auth type radius ssh

SSH will be using RADIUS authentication, not 'local'.

Examples:

set auth type local telnet set auth type disable telnet set auth type radius ssh,web

get ntp <eth0 | eth1 | iff>

Where:

<iff> If encryption is enabled then this will present the IFF certificate information to provide to

the clients. This is ONLY available if you are connected through a secure connection (SSH or local serial port). The information presented should be copied from the terminal into a file, named to the filename indicated in the information and then that file distributed, securely, to your clients. (This option is available only to supervisor level user)

default Restore default settings for the port. If supplied. If no port supplied then all

ports are affected. This option may not be used with any other options.

*bcast <ip>|off Set broadcasting on/off for the port. If an <ip> address is given, it must be in

the same domain as the domain of the port. This is to keep from broadcasting to the whole internet.

*interval <n> Set the broadcast time interval to <n> where <n> is the broadcast time

interval, in seconds to the power of two. For example, a minpoll value of 4 sets the broadcast time interval to 24 or 16 seconds. Allowable values are from 4 (16 sec) to 17 (36.4 hours).

*ttl <t> Set the time-to-live hops to <t>. Allowable values are from 1 to 7, or '-'. Note

that a value of '-' sets the default maximum hop value allowed. encrypt on|off Set the encryption of the NTP messages on/off. host (hn) Set the host name for the encryption certificate to <hn>. Only the characters

'-', '_', 0-9, A-Z, and a-z are valid within the host name. The max size of the

host name is 32 characters. group <gn> Set the group name for the encryption certificate to <gn>. Only the

characters '-', '_', 0-9, A-Z, and a-z are valid within the group name. The max

size of the group name is 32 characters peer <pl> Set the peer list to <pl>. <pl> may be a comma separated list of up to 4

peers to use. This list must contain no spaces and may be made up of a

mixture of IPv4, IPv6 or valid hostnames. The other allowable <pl> option is

'-', which disables peering (regardless of where it is in the list). iff This will renew the IFF certificate for NTP certification. This should be done

approximately every 30 days to keep the certificate valid

The set output command allows setting of the output signal(s) for the system. If no output signal selection is given, then all outputs are changed.

If an output is not valid for the given signal, then that output is turned off.

The 'invert' (or 'falling') modifier inverts the active state of the output. This affects all levels for the given signal. That means that if the output is set 'high' for instance the 'invert' option changes the output to 'low'. The “falling” modifier is an edge trigger.

Note that this is a modifier and cannot be used alone.

The 'width' option sets the pulse width for both BNC and digital.

Note that the 'periodic' output has its own width, set with the 'set periodic' command.

The 'delay' option allows setting of a delay for the timing. This is used to compensate for cable and other delays. The <d> value is in nanoseconds.
