Communication Ports
Communications ports on the IMC allow you to provision, monitor, and troubleshoot
the chassis. You can communicate with the TimeProvider 5000 using either CLI or
SNMP protocols.
Note: The SNMP feature can either be ordered in a new system, or
added to a previously ordered system as a field upgrade (see Table
2-1 for part number). Contact your Symmetricom representative for
more information.
Local Craft Serial Port

The EIA-232 port supports local control; you can configure the TimeProvider 5000
with CLI commands using a terminal or computer with terminal emulation software.
The connector is located on the IMC module. The Local port is configured as a DCE
interface and the default settings are as follows:
26
Baud = 57.6K
Data Bits = 8 bits
Parity = None
Stop bits = 1
Flow Control, None

Management Ethernet Port

The Management Ethernet connector provides connectivity to an Ethernet local
area network. Each Ethernet port has a unique internet protocol (IP) address and
once the IP address is set and a connection is made to a LAN, you can access the
TimeProvider 5000.
Synchronization and Timing Inputs

The TimeProvider 5000 can use either GPS or E1 signals as external input
references. The GPS reference connects to a SMA connector on the IMC card and
the E1 inputs are configurable ports located on the I/O module.
Synchronization and Timing Outputs

The TimeProvider 5000 has four GbE Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) timing
outputs (2 per IOC card).
System Inputs and Outputs

The TimeProvider 5000 has four mini-BNC ports on the I/O module that are
software configurable as either input or output ports. When configured as output
ports, they can provide the following signal types:
1PPS/10 MHz
Note: Units that provide 1PPS/10MHz output must be
configured at the factory when ordered; they cannot be

reconfigured in the field. One port provides 1PPS output and
one port provides 10MHz output.
Two of the mini-BNC ports are software configurable as input ports with the
following signal types:
2.048 Mb/s (G.703/9)
2.048 MHz (G.703/13)
27

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. Refer to Appendix B, Command Descriptions and
Communications Interface for further details.
Note: Before you can communicate with the TimeProvider 5000
through an Ethernet connection, you must first configure the Ethernet
port using the serial connection (see Provisioning the Ethernet Ports,
on page 66).
Alarms
The TimeProvider 5000 uses alarms to notify you when certain conditions are
deteriorating below specified levels. These alarms are indicated by module status
LEDs and by SNMP traps. You can provision the alarm to either be enabled or
disabled and the current alarm state can be obtained via the communication ports.
For more information, see Provisioning Alarms, on page 70 and Appendix A,

Caution: The GPS cable should only be connected while the unit is
properly Earth grounded.
The antenna connections are made at the IMC module connector labeled GPS.
Allow at least one hour for the unit to track and lock to GPS.
Proper cable, grounding techniques, and lightning arrestors should be used. Mount
the antenna outside, preferably on the roof with a clear view of the sky. 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.
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 chassis.

Warning: To avoid accidental power-up of the chassis, remove the A
and B fuses on the branch over-current protection unit before
beginning the TimeProvider 5000 installation. The unit is not
equipped with a power on/off switch.
The TimeProvider 5000 has two 48 VDC power connectors for redundant
operation, which are located on the right and left sides of the front panel (see
Figure 3-10). A separate frame ground lug is provided on the left side of the front
panel.
Ground Connections
Frame ground connections are made using the M4 Grounding Terminal Stud
located on the left side of the front panel of the unit. This stud is marked with the
universal ground symbol, as shown in Figure 3-11.

Figure 3-10. TimeProvider 5000 Power Connections
Figure 3-11. Universal Ground Symbol
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 U.L 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 U.L listed Ring Lug to the other end of
the 1 mm / 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.
48

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 is 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 before making
power connections.
1. Ensure the power source is turned off.

2. Connect the frame ground terminal to earth ground.
3. Locate the power connectors included in the installation kit.
4. Using 1 mm / 18 AWG (minimum) stranded wire, connect primary power to the

Provisioning a RADIUS Server

To authenticate using RADIUS, the RADIUS server must be properly configured.
The usernames, passwords, and security level of the remotely-authenticated users
can be controlled from the RADIUS server. The TimeProvider 5000 uses the
"User-Name" attribute to determine the security level. For admin-level, use
"remote_admin". For config level, use "remote_config". For user-level, use
"remote_user".
Listed below are example configurations in the /etc/raddb/users file for the
FreeRADIUS server.
Example 1:
usr_a Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "test"
Reply-Message = "Level 1 access granted\n",
User-Name=remote_admin
Example 2:
usr_c Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "test"
User-Name=remote_config
Example 3:
usr_u Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "test"
User-Name=remote_user
Provisioning Login Authentication

The authentication scheme used in the TimeProvider 5000 allows you to provision a
RADIUS server IP address and authentication key(s) for server access. If RADIUS
is enabled, the system allows local login if the server doesn't authenticate the user
and the user is configured locally.
65
To provision the RADIUS server IP address and the authentication key for server
access:

This section describes the two versions of SNMP supported by the TimeProvider
5000: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
added to a previously ordered system as a field upgrade. Contact
your Symmetricom representative for more information.
SNMP Features
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol
that allows you to manage network devices. SNMP is based on a client-server
query-response mode that requires an Ethernet connection. A manager application
(software installed on a computer) is the client generating the queries, and an agent
(software on the TimeProvider 5000) is the server generating responses. The
TimeProvider 5000 SNMP supports most existing functions.
If SNMP is present, port 161 becomes the port of standard SNMP interactive
communications and port 162 becomes the trap port.
SNMP allows you to perform the following functions:
Alarm management
GPS input configuration
TOD source configuration
SNMPv3 Security Features

SNMPv3 provides additional security features not available in SNMPv2c. In addition
to the functions of SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 allows user levels that are based on
authentication and privacy settings. The authentication protocol HMAC-SHA-1-96 is
20 characters long and the privacy protocol CBC-DES is a 16-character key. All
keys are uppercase.
The administrator can add up to 10 users to the SNMP user table.
73

SNMP CLI commands allows you to:
Enable and disable SNMP
Set SNMP manager IP address for traps
Add up to 10 SNMP user names in the SNMP user table
Display SNMP user names (read community string) and their associated access
levels
Delete SNMP user names
Enabling SNMP
SNMP is an optional feature. To enable this feature, enter the command printed on
the Symmetricom-issued certificate for this unit.
Adding a Manager IP Address

The Set SNMP Manager command allows you to specify an SNMP manager IP
address.
Example:
Use the following command to add the SNMP manager IP address
192.100.100.100 and engineID 0x12345678901234567890:
Type set snmp add manager address 192.100.100.100 engineid
0x12345678901234567890 then press Enter.
Adding and Removing SNMP Users

The Set SNMP User command allows you to add or remove users and specify
access privileges using algorithm HMAC-SH-1-96 or MD5 with the 20 character
authentication key and a CBC-DES 16 or AES character privacy key.
Example
Use the following command to add user ABC with the 20 character MD5
authentication key 123456789ABCDEFGHIJK and 16 DES character privacy key
123456789ABCDEFG.
Type set snmp add user abc securlvl private and press Enter.
Enter MD5 at the authentication protocol prompt.
74
Enter 123456789ABCDEFGHIJK at the authentication key prompt

Enter DES at the privacy protocol prompt
Enter 123456789ABCDEFG at the privacy key prompt
Displaying SNMP Users

The Show SNMP commands allow you to display the SNMP configuration. This
includes the SNMP manager, users, trap version, trap user, and whether SNMPv2 is
enabled.
Example
Use the following command to display the list of SNMP users (user at security level
admin).
Type show snmp user and press Enter.
Note: Valid authentication key and privacy key characters include

numbers, upper and lowercase letters, and the character set :=?@_.
Do not use spaces in user names.

Note: Outputs are not affected during the IMC upgrade
procedure.

2. Type set configuration backup local and press Enter to save the contents
of the IMC configuration. The alternate is set configuration backup
imc-to-ioc
3. Type upgrade imc <filename> <ftp-server> <user name> (use the IP

address or server name) and press Enter.
4. When prompted, enter a user name and password for the server.
84

Note: The system will FTP the file from the specified FTP server (IP
or name) and then upgrade the module.
5. Type set configuration restore imc-from-ioc and press Enter to restore

the contents of the IMC configuration. This step is not necessary if the
configuration is backed up to local.
6. The TimeProvider 5000 validates the received file, and if the file is valid it
updates the flash memory and reboots the IMC.
Note: If the file is not valid, the TimeProvider 5000 will reject it.

The TimeProvider 5000 supports logging of events using Syslog defined facility and
severity codes and system defined facility codes as follows:
Facility codes
0 kernel messages
1 User-level messages
3 System daemons
4 Security/authorization messages
5 Messages generated internally by syslogd
9 Clock daemon
11 FTP daemon
20 Time Provider 5000 Messages (events and alarms)
21 TimeProvider 5000 Command Response
Severity codes
0 (critical) Emergency: system is unusable
1 (critical) Alert: action must be taken immediately
2 (critical) Critical: critical conditions
3 (major) Error: error conditions
4 (minor) Warning: warning conditions
5 (event) Notice: normal but significant condition
6 (event) Informational: informational messages
88

Notes:
1. Severity codes, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, are also indicated by the Alarm
LED(s) on the IMC and IOC modules.
2. Severity Code 0, 1, and 2 indicate Critical Alarms.
3. Severity Code 3 indicates Major Alarms.
4. Severity Code 4 indicates Minor Alarms.
5. Severity Code 5 and 6 are not associated with an Alarm Level.
The syslog message format is as follows:

Mmm dd hh:mm:ss
host_machine,Event/AlarmID,MsgTypel,MsgID,MsgText
Where:
Mmm = Month dd = date hh:mm:ss = system time
host_machine = hostname
AlarmID = 000 thru 128
EventID = 128 thru 255
MsgType = Event | Minor | Major | Critical (defined by severity code)
MsgID = SNMP message ID (facility code+severity code)
MsgText = (see tables)
The following is an example syslog message showing Input Port 1 state being set to
Disabled:
Aug 19 21:23:12 TP5000 I/O,196,Event,215, Input Port 1 state is
set to disabled
Syslog messages are stored according to Message IDs in the following log files:
35, 44, and 45 are stored in the Security Log in the following format:
Mmm dd
hh:mm:ss host_machine OS defined Security Issue Message
200 through 204 are stored in the Alarm Log
205 and undefined IDs are stored in the Event Log
215 is stored in the Command Log in the following format:

Mmm dd
hh:mm:ss host_machine,MsgTypel,MsgID,MsgText
89


Table A-1 provides a list of system notification messages. These messages are
logged and sent to a remote syslog server if configured. Alarms will also generate
an SNMP trap.

Appendix B Command Descriptions and Communications

Interface
This appendix 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.
In This Appendix

TimeProvider 5000 CLI Command Set
Secure Shell Protocol
Secure File Transfer Protocol
Appendix B Command Descriptions and Communications Interface

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.
Figure B-1.
TimeProvider 5000 CLI Command Conventions

The following are conventions used for the TimeProvider 5000 CLI command set .

CLI Overview
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
minimm, 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 :

set
set-timeout
show
sync
Or pressing the ? (SHIFT+QUESTION MARK)will display the available

commands that start with s (for this example) and brief descriptions of those
commands:

CLI Overview
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.
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

This section provides an alphabetical listing and details of all CLI commands.

Set REF
Use this command to provision the system's input port(s) state and configuration. It
allows the user to select the system reference and override the currently selected
reference. This reference remains selected until failure, or until the user selects an
alternate reference.
When switching to backup frequency reference, the system selects the new
reference based on REF CRITERIA
When the TOD source is SYS, the default frequency reference is INP. In this case,
the selection of INP1 or INP2 is also based on INP REF MODE.
When Mode is set to MANUAL, the system requires Manual intervention to select
the backup reference.
When Mode is set to PRIORITY, the system selects the reference based on the
TOD Source and priority setting.
When Mode is set to SSM, the system selects the reference as frequency reference
based on the TOD Source and SSM (received or provisioned).

This section describes the two versions of SNMP supported by the TimeProvider
5000: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
added to a previously ordered system as a field upgrade (see Table
2-1 for part number). Contact your Symmetricom representative for
more information.
SNMP Features
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol
that allows you to manage network devices. SNMP is based on a client-server
query-response mode that requires an Ethernet connection. A manager application
(software installed on a computer) is the client generating the queries, and an agent
(software on the TimeProvider 5000) is the server generating responses. The
TimeProvider 5000 SNMP supports most existing functions.
If SNMP is present, port 161 becomes the port of standard SNMP interactive
communications and port 162 becomes the trap port.
SNMP allows you to perform the following functions:
Alarm management
GPS input configuration
TOD source configuration
SNMPv3 Security Features

SNMPv3 provides additional security features not available in SNMPv2c. In addition
to the functions of SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 allows user levels that are based on
authentication and privacy settings. The authentication protocol HMAC-SHA-1-96 is
20 characters long and the privacy protocol CBC-DES is a 16-character key. All
keys are uppercase.
The administrator can add up to 10 users to the SNMP user table.
Management Information Base

The Management Information Base (MIB) is a virtual database of managed objects,
their object identifiers, and variables. Typical MIB object identifiers include the
TimeProvider 5000, its modules, module features, input ports, output ports, etc. and
variables that include settings and measurements.

The MIB is controlled by the TimeProvider 5000s SNMP agent. The SNMP agent is
a server program that sends TimeProvider 5000 status (stored in the MIB database)
to the network manager when the manager transmits GET or GETNEXT messages.
The manager can also transmit SET messages that instruct the agent to set MIB
variables to new values. The TRAP message is used by the server to send the
manager indications of MIB occurrences, such as a fault condition.

SNMP CLI commands allows you to:
Enable and disable SNMP
Set SNMP manager IP address for traps
Add up to 10 SNMP user names in the SNMP user table
Display SNMP user names (read community string) and their associated access
levels
Delete SNMP user names
Enabling SNMP
This command allows you to enable or disable the SNMP.
Example:
Use the following command to enable SNMP:
Type set service snmp enable and press ENTER.
Adding a Manager IP Address
The Set SNMP Manager command allows you to specify an SNMP manager IP
address (see Set SNMP, on page 159).
Example:
Use the following command to add the SNMP manager IP address
192.100.100.100 and engineID 0x12345678901234567890:
Type set snmp manager address 192.100.100.100 engineid
0x12345678901234567890 then press Enter.
Adding and Removing SNMP Users
The Set SNMP User command allows you to add or remove users and specify
access privileges using algorithm HMAC-SH-1-96 or MD5 with the 20 character
authentication key and a CBC-DES 16 or AES character privacy key (see Set
SNMP, on page 159).
Example

Use the following command to add user ABC with the 20 character MD5
authentication key 123456789ABCDEFGHIJK and 16 DES character privacy key
123456789ABCDEFG.
Type set snmp user add abc securlvl priv and press Enter.
Enter MD5 at the authentication protocol prompt.
Enter 123456789ABCDEFGHIJK at the authentication key prompt
Enter DES at the privacy protocol prompt
Enter 123456789ABCDEFG at the privacy key prompt
Displaying SNMP Users
The Show Snmp commands allow you to display the SNMP configuration. This
includes the SNMP manager, users, trap version, trap user, and whether SNMPv2 is
enabled (see Show SNMP, on page 157).
Example
Use the following command to display the list of SNMP users (admin user level 3
required).
Type show snmp user and press Enter.
Note: Valid authentication key and privacy key characters include

numbers, upper and lowercase letters, and the character set :=?@_.
Do not use spaces in user names.

Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) provides secure, encrypted communications and
services between hosts on unsecured networks.
Secure File Transfer Protocol

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) uses SSH to transfer files encrypting both
commands and data, including passwords, to provide secure transmission for
copying files.

This section provides a list of antenna kits and accessories as well as descriptions
and associated part numbers.
Selecting the Proper Gain Antenna

When installing the GPS radio receiver, 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
manufacturers 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
requires a signal level 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 signal level at the radio receiver input is 30 dB.
All antenna kits include the GPS L1 antenna, mounting pipe, floor flange, transient
eliminator, pre-assembled coaxial cable (for antenna to transient eliminator), roll of
3M 2150 weatherproof tape, and a right angle adapter. All chassis, antennas,
transient eliminators, and in-line amplifiers have N-type connectors.
All antenna kits supplied use LMR-400, or equivalent, low-loss coaxial cable. Other
types of coaxial cable are available for GPS antenna applications; however, it is
imperative that you calculate the specific cable loss to ensure a signal level
between 25 dB and 35 dB at the antenna connector input. The L1 signal loss of
LMR-400 is 0.167 dB/meter. The L1 signal loss of a 90 V transient eliminator is
typically 0.25 dB.
GPS Antenna With a Low Noise Amplifier, 26, 40, or 48 dB
Symmetricom offers three versions of GPS antennas with 26, 40, or 48 dB internal
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). These antennas, which are compatible with most
commercial GPS receivers, receive, amplify, and filter the L1 (1575.42 MHz) signal
from GPS satellites. The antenna is housed in a weatherproof package suitable for
permanent installation in an exposed location. For additional transient eliminator
protection requirements, you can install a 250B-90 Gas Tube transient eliminator in
series with the antenna coaxial cable.
The cable between the antenna and the TimeProvider 5000 cable should be kept to
the shortest reasonable length. Before using additional cables, verify that the total
antenna system gain is acceptable as described in the Selecting the Proper Gain
Antenna section of Appendix D. The tables listed below provide information about
the antenna:

Installing Antennas
Installing Antennas
This section provides a procedure for installing a GPS antenna. Before beginning
the installation, review Planning the Installation, on page 191, and gather the
necessary tools and materials described in Antenna Installation Tools and Materials,
on page 194
Antenna Connection Overview

The TimeProvider 5000 chassis has one antenna connection located on the front of
the IMC module. The antenna connection is made via a SMA connector, labeled
GPS. The connectors are DC isolated and AC bypassed to frame ground. This
connection is used for a radio receiver antenna connection only. Installation
procedures for GPS antennas are outlined below.
Planning the Installation

Prior to installing the antenna, you should plan the site, antenna location, grounding
scheme, cable route, and all other details.
Locating the Antenna
Use Figure D-1 as a guide to locating the antenna.
Figure D-1.
Locating the GPS Antenna

Installing Antennas
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.
Warning: To avoid serious injury to personnel or damage to

equipment, exercise caution when working near high voltage lines.
In particular:
Use extreme caution when installing the GPS antenna near,

under, or around high voltage lines.
Follow local building electrical codes for grounding using the
frame ground lug on the TimeProvider 5000 chassis.
The in-line amplifier receives 5 VDC power from the GPS radio
receiver, and is supplied on the center conductor of the LMR-400
or equivalent coaxial cable. If the application requires an in-line
amplifier, mount the amplifier/plate assembly where the transient
eliminator would normally be mounted.
Symmetricom does not recommend cutting the antenna cables
provided in the GPS Antenna Kit.
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 D-1.
Locate the antenna well away from, and preferably in a plane
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 snow.
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.

Installing Antennas
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 conductors.

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.
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..
Note: Larger ground conductors provide better transient elimination;
that is, the larger the ground conductor, the less likely the chance of
transients.
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: 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.

Installing Antennas
Antenna Installation Tools and Materials

These standard tools and materials are not supplied in the antenna kit, but may be
required for installing the GPS antenna. For a list of antenna kit contents, see Table
D-1.
Four each 0.25 in (6 mm) fasteners for installing the antenna floor flange
Extra cable ties or acceptable cable clamps
#6 AWG (minimum) copper ground wire
Eight-foot (2.9 m) ground electrode
Custom mounting plates, U-bolts, masonry bolt, and so forth, as needed for
mounting to a tower, roof, or wall of a building
A cable puller may be required for installing the antenna coaxial cable
Digital voltmeter (DVM)

Caution: To prevent damage to connectors, use caution while
pulling cable.
Caution: To avoid damage to the connectors, do not use the

connectors to pull the cable. If at all possible, avoid bundling the
coaxial cable with other cables (and possible noise sources). Use
appropriate cable-pulling devices when pulling the coaxial cable
through conduit or a weather head.
Cutting Antenna Cables

Symmetricom recommends that you coil excess cable to avoid gain mismatch
between the GPS antenna and the radio receiver. Coiling the excess cable also
allows you to use the factory-installed crimped connector.
Symmetricom does not recommend cutting the antenna cables provided in the GPS
Antenna Kits. If you must cut the cables, please ensure that the following
requirements are met.
Be aware of these cable and connector requirements before cutting antenna cables:
Cable Requirements The total cable length from the radio receiver to the
antenna must not be shorter than the minimum cable lengths indicated in the GPS
Antenna Kits (see Table D-1).
Connector Requirements The cables provided with the GPS Antenna Kit have
factory installed crimped connectors. If you cut these cables, you must supply and
add a connector. Symmetricom recommends that you use only crimp-style N-type
connectors in the Crimper Kit for this application.

Installing Antennas
Installing the Antenna

This section provides installation procedures for installing the GPS antenna.
Note: Follow local building electrical codes when installing the GPS
antenna.
Figure D-2.
GPS Antenna Installation
To mount the GPS antenna:
To mount the antenna to any stable flat surface, use the floor flange supplied in
the GPS Antenna Kit. The mounting surface and the local building codes
determine the type and number of fasteners, screws, bolts, and so forth, that may
be required.
To mount the antenna on the side of a building or tower, use the optional right
angle mounting bracket (part number 12010210-000-0).
To secure the coaxial cable to the mast, use one or more 8-inch cable ties or
appropriate cable clamps.
Connecting the Cable to the Antenna

To connect the coaxial cable to the mounted antenna (see Figure D-2):

Installing Antennas
1. Loosen the four screws securing the top of the antenna in place to gain access to the
connector.
2. Route the shorter antenna coaxial cable from the antenna through the floor
flange (in the lower half of the antenna base) to the unit.
coaxial cable with other cables (and possible noise sources). Use
appropriate cable-pulling devices when pulling the coaxial cable
through conduit or a weather head.
3. Connect the cable to the antenna and run the cable from the antenna through the
slot of the floor flange.
Caution: To avoid damage to internal solder connections, do not
over-tighten the connector.
4. Replace the four screws to secure the top of the antenna in place with the cable
connected.
Installing the Transient Eliminator

If you are installing a transient eliminator, follow these guidelines:
Transient eliminators should be installed in accordance with your antenna system

grounding scheme
Mount the transient eliminator within 30 feet (9 m) of the GPS antenna
If required, mount a second transient eliminator near the GPS antenna
To install the transient eliminator:

Note: Step 6 in the following procedure cannot be done if you cut the
cable (as described in Step 1).
1. If necessary, cut the coaxial cable and install mating connectors (see Cutting
Antenna Cables, on page 194).
2. Using the DVM, measure the resistance between the center conductor and
shield to verify that the center conductor and shield are not shorted together.
3. Connect the longer GPS antenna coaxial cable to the transient eliminator.

Installing Antennas
4. Connect the ground wire between the transient eliminator and the proper
grounding zone (building ground, master ground bar, or other) for the mounting
location.
Recommendation: Symmetricom does not recommend soldered

connections for grounding purposes. All grounding connections
should be secured with mechanical clamp connectors.
5. Wrap the connectors with weatherproof tape for added protection.

6. Verify that the antenna coaxial cable center conductor is not shorted to the shield of
the cable.
Installing the Antenna Cable

You should install the antenna cable from the transient eliminator to the
TimeProvider 5000 using the shortest route possible. Follow all applicable building
and electrical codes to ensure a water-tight and fire-resistant installation. .
cable with other cables (and possible noise sources). Use appropriate
cable-pulling devices when pulling the cable through conduit or a
weather head.

Before connecting the GPS antenna to the TimeProvider 5000, see Antenna
Connection Overview, on page 191. Then, follow the instructions below.
1. Before connecting the antenna coaxial cable to the TimeProvider 5000, test the
DC resistance between the center conductor and the shield using an ohmmeter.
The reading should be approximately 260 for an active GPS antenna.
If the actual reading is incorrect, you may have a shorted or open cable or transient
eliminator (if installed). Therefore, apply the same measurements directly to the
GPS antenna. This requires disconnecting the antenna cable at the antenna.
Note: The open-circuit range of an individual ohmmeter can cause
readings to vary among meters.

Installing Antennas
2. Secure the free end of the antenna cable to the appropriate antenna connector
on the rear panel of the TimeProvider 5000 using the right angle adapter
provided with the antenna cable.
Recommendation: Symmetricom recommends coiling excess cable
to avoid gain mismatch between the GPS antenna and the
TimeProvider 5000. Coiling the excess cable also allows you to use
the factory-installed crimped connector.
Antenna Installation Completeness Checklist

To verify that antenna installation is complete:
Verify that all power and ground wires are installed correctly and securely
fastened.
Verify that all input and output cables are properly installed.
Verify that all antenna connectors are secure, tight, and weatherproofed.
