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

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

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

Chapter 1 Overview
Figure 1-8. TP500 Module Connections
Power Connector
A Molex-style connector is used to provide -48 volts DC (labeled Power). When the
unit is successfully powered, the PWR LED near the left side of this panel will
illuminate green. If the power connection is reversed, the unit will not be damaged, it
simply will not power-up. Startup power will be <17 watts. Steady-state power
(nominal 25 C) <9.5 watts. The TP500 Client module uses 48 VDC power and is
not equipped with a power switch. Power to the unit is controlled by TimeAnalyzers
DC power supply.
RJ48C Connectors
The stack of 2 RJ 48C connections labeled SPAN1 and SPAN2 (can use standard
Ethernet cable) provides two separately driven output signals, configurable as either
E1 or T1. These are differential outputs (tip and ring) conforming to signal levels
defined in G.703.
when working near high voltage lines and follow local building
electrical codes for grounding the TimeAnalyzer
Note: The RJ 48C physical connector is the same as RJ 45 (an 8-pin
modular connector). RJ 45 is used for Ethernet whereas the term
RJ 48C is used for T1 lines. The pinouts for RJ 45 and RJ 48C are
different. RJ 45 (Ethernet) uses pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 whereas RJ 48C
uses pins 4 and 5.
Chapter 1 Overview
T1/E1 Frequency Output Connectors
The TP500 Client module provides configurable outputs at either E1 (2.048MHz) or
T1 (1.544MHz) frequencies. Specific signal types at each frequency are detailed in
the CLI command, set output signaltype, as described in. Both outputs must be the
same signal type. There are two independent, separately driven outputs, labeled
SPAN1 and SPAN2. For differential connection to the TP500 Client moduleeither
output, use the appropriate RJ -48C connection shown in Figure 1-8. SPAN1 is the
upper connection and SPAN2 is the lower connection. For single-ended connection
to either output, use the BNC connectors shown in Figure 1-8.
LEDs
At the center are four LEDs:
PWR illuminates green when the unit is powered.
SYNC provides high-level status indication. The indications and associated
meanings are described later in this document.
OUT illuminates green when output is being generated on the SPAN
connections.
ALARM illuminates Red to indicate a CRITICAL or MAJ OR active alarm, AMBER
to indicate MINOR alarm. Current alarm status can be checked using the show
alarm command. For more information, see the CLI command, show alarm, in
the TP500 Users Guide.
RS232 MGMT Serial Port
The DE9 connector labeled RS232 MGMT provides a local serial connection to the
TP500 module. Through this connection, a Command Line Interface (CLI) provides
configuration and status monitoring capability. The RS-232 serial port connection is
made through a DE9S female connector. This port allows you to connect to a
computer using terminal emulation software for remote monitoring an control. When
connecting to this port, use a shielded direct connect cable. See Provisioning the
TP500 PTP Client Module, on page 77, for default settings.
IEEE 1588 Remote Management Port
The RJ -45 connector labeled 1588 is the connection into the network that is
providing the grandmaster clock(s). This same connection is also used for remote
management.
Note: The outputs from the left BNC and lower RJ 48C connection
(both labeled SPAN1) are generated from the same driver circuit, so
for proper signal level only one of those connections should be used
at any one time. The same situation applies to the right BNC and
upper RJ 48C, both labeled SPAN2.
Chapter 1 Overview
TimeAnalyzer 7500 includes the TimeWatch probe module, which is designed to
perform an MRTIE measurement between two external clock inputs. The inputs are
independent and each can be either a 2.048 MHz clock or an E1 2.048 Mbit/s
signal. The probe module uses an internal TIE measurement engine that compares
two external inputs at 80 samples per second (80Hz) and calculates the relative
phase. This data is averaged to produce one TIE value for each second, this is then
used to calculate the MRTIE between the two inputs.
The calculated MRTIE is a worst case MRTIE from the start of the measurement
period which begins at probe initialization and is restarted if the mask is exceeded.
The computed MRTIE is compared against the chosen mask, and an exception is
generated if the mask is exceeded. The probe modules firmware handles
communications with the attached PC application, whether TimeMonitor Watch or a
terminal, formats and then streams the live TIE measurement data directly to the
application. The application can then be used to view, store and further analyze the
measurement data.
Figure 1-9. TimeWatch Probe Module Front Panel
TimeWatch Probe Module Connections (TA 7500 only)
The probe modules front-panel connectors are as follows:
Measure In (BNC)
M(R)TIE is computed on the relative phase between this input and the Ref In input .
The interface must be configured to be a full height 2.048Mbit/s (G.703 sec. 9), a
30dB down 2.048Mbit/s signal (G.703 sec. 9) or a 2.048MHz signal (G.703 sec. 13).
Ref In (BNC)
This input is used for the input of a reference clock signal. MRTIE is computed on
the relative phase between this input and the Measure In interface. The interface
must be configured to be a full height 2.048Mbit/s (G.703 sec. 9), a 30dB down
2.048Mbit/s signal (G.703 sec. 9) or a 2.048MHz signal (G.703 sec. 13).
Aux Out (BNC)
Can optionally provide a buffered copy of the Ref In signal; this interface can only be
used if the Ref In interface is a 2.048MHz signal.
Chapter 1 Overview
GPS Antenna (SMA)
N/A for implementation in TimeAnalyzer.
GPS Antenna (LOS LED)
GSM Antenna (SMA)
PSTN Analogue Modem (RJ11)
This connector is used for connecting the probe to a PSTN network for
communication with the server. An optional internal PSTN modem must be installed
to enable this option. N/A for implementation in TimeAnalyzer.
LAN (RJ45)
This connector is used for connecting the probe to an Ethernet network to enable
communication with the server. It is available on all TimeWatch variants. The probe
will automatically detect the data rate of the network; however it may be necessary
to configure other network parameters before normal operation. This port will
auto-negotiate and run at speeds of either 10 or 100BASE-T.
Alarm Relay Contact
This interface uses a three pin terminal block with Normally Open, Common and
Normally Closed pins. It can optionally be connected to an external alarm
management system. If an MTIE exception occurs, the relays will be switched and
will remain in the active state until a minimum of 15 minutes after MTIE is within the
configured mask. The relay will also be in its alarm state if power fails to the probe
or if any hardware fault is detected, for example loss of Measure In signal.
Power (-48vDC)
This is the power supply connector and has four pins. Pin 1 is the positive voltage
V+, nominally 0V; pin 2 is the negative voltage, nominally -48V; pin 3 is ground; pin
4 is unused. Power is provided from TimeAnalyzers power distribution panel.

Both covers must be removed when using the TA7x00 in order to provide access for
testing and to allow air flow for cooling. See Figure 2-5 below.
Figure 2-5. Remove Covers From TimeAnalyzer Case
The TimeAnalyzer 7x00 uses AC power to generate and distribute DC power to the
TP500, TP5000, and TimeWatch (TA 7500 only) through the Power Distribution
Panel.
AC Power
The power supply for the TimeAnalyzer 7x00 is 100 - 240 VAC, and is rated for -48
VAC, 6.25 A. The power supply features a male AC power connector on the rear
panel, as shown in Figure 2-6 below.
Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC power connector
AC Power Switch
The power supply for TimeAnalyzer features an ON/OFF switch, which is located
immediately above the power connector on the rear panel, as shown in Figure 2-6
below.
Figure 2-6. Rear Panel - AC Power Connector and Power Switch
Ground
The TimeAnalyzer 7x00 ground is provided via the grounding prong on the AC
power cable.
DC Power
The TimeAnalyzer 7x00 provides -48 VDC from the Power Distribution Panel to the
measurement elements using external cables, as shown in Figure 2-7. The cables
will be three different lengths due to the varying distances between the Power
Distribution Panel and the power connectors for the TP5000, TP500, and
TimeWatch (see Figure 2-8). The cables will also be unique because the TP5000 ,
TP500, and TimeWatch each have a different style power connector (see
Figure 2-9). See Table 2-1 for details about the power cables.
Warning: To avoid accidental power-up of the chassis, ensure that
the switch on the power supply is in the OFF position. Or ensure that
the power supply is not plugged into the AC power source until
installation is complete.
The connectors on the Power Distribution Panel are each labeled for use with a
specific module. (Unused connectors have plugs inserted for safety.) To further
ensure that the proper connector is used for each module, the pin-outs are different
for each connector. See Figure 2-10 for a view of the connector pins . See Table 2-2
for pin-outs for each module. While the TP5000 cable can be plugged into the
TimeWatch connector on the Power Distribution Panel, the connector and cable are
wired such that no power will be provided to the device.

Other GPS Antenna Options
In the event that the optional portable GPS antenna is not adequate for specific
applications, users can order Symmetricom GPS L1 antenna kits or provide their
own GPS antennas. See Appendix C in the TimeProvider 5000 Users Guide for
GPS L1 antenna kits that are compatible with the TP5000 Probe.
Required Gain to GPS Engine
It is important to select the proper gain antenna and coaxial cable that accounts for
the insertion loss between the antenna and the radio receiver to avoid under-driving
or over-driving the radio receiver antenna input. The gain required at 1575 MHz for
a GPS radio receiver input is the 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 of
the TP5000 probe requires a gain at the antenna connector input of the chassis to
be between 25 dB and 35 dB. This tolerance allows for the signal loss of the internal
coaxial cable and connectors. The optimal gain at the radio receiver input is 30 dB.
The total gain is the gain of the GPS antenna less the loss of the transient
eliminator, connectors, and cables.
Antenna Placement and Mounting
Mount the antenna outside, preferably on the roof with a clear view of the sky, as the
cable length allows. Do not mount the antenna near a wall or other obstruction
blocking part of the sky. Mount the antenna well above roads or parking lots.
If fixed mounting is not possible or practical for a Symmetricom GPS antenna kit or
user supplied antenna, a tripod can be used for temporary antenna mounting.

Locating the Antenna
The 5 meter cable length may limit some placement options in some locations. Use
Figure 2-15 as a guide to locating the antenna.
Figure 2-15. Locating the GPS Antenna
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.
Symmetricom does not recommend cutting the antenna cable
provided with the GPS Antenna.
Caution: To avoid damage to the GPS antenna, do not place the
antenna where high-power radio signals are beamed directly at the
unit. Such signals can damage the preamplifier of the GPS antenna.
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.
Recommendation: Symmetricom recommends that you consider the
following location and environment influences before installing the
GPS antenna:
If possible, provide the antenna with an unobstructed 360-degree
view of the sky from the horizon.
In general, do not allow obstructions that obscure the horizon (as
viewed from the antenna) by more than 10 degrees, as shown in
Figure 2-15.
Locate the antenna well away from, 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.
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..
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.
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.
Note: Larger ground conductors provide better transient elimination;
that is, the larger the ground conductor, the less likely the chance of
transients.
Note: Do not connect the outside transient eliminator ground to the
inside equipment rack ground. Doing so can defeat the protection
afforded by the transient eliminator.
The modules in the TimeAnalyzer 7x00 each have a LAN connection and RS-232
connection.
TimeAnalyzer 7x00 Communications Connections
The IMC card allows user control of the TP5000 probe module in the TimeAnalyzer
7x00. The EIA-232 serial port (labeled CRAFT) and Ethernet Management port
(labeled MGMT) are located on its IMC card, as shown in Figure 2-14.
For the TP500 client module, the EIA-232 serial port is located on its front panel, as
shown in Figure 2-11. The RJ -45 connector labeled 1588 is used for remote
management in addition to being the connection into the network that is providing
the grandmaster clock(s).
For the TimeWatch probe manual, the Ethernet Management port (labeled LAN) is
located on its front panel. The EIA-232 serial port is located on the Power
Distribution Panel.
LAN Ports
The LAN ports are standard 10/100Base-T shielded RJ -45 receptacles. To connect
a TimeAnalyzer 7x00 module to an Ethernet network, use a twisted pair Ethernet
RJ -45 cable.
The connector pinouts for all LAN ports in the TimeAnalyzer are listed in Table 2-4.
Note: TimeAnalyzers internal 5-port switch does not support VLAN.
Symmetricom recommends that the internal switch only be used for
management connections. See Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2.

The two Ethernet 100/1000 Small-form Factor Pluggable (SFP) connections on the
IOC provide PTP inputs to the TP5000 probe module. See Figure 2-17. It is
possible to monitor two different subnets, one on each port.
Figure 2-17. PTP Input Connections
Only the SFP transceivers in Table 2-6 are recommended and supported. Other
SFP transceivers are not supported and may cause the TP5000 probe module to
not comply with regulatory requirements.
Use the following procedue to make the connections for PTP measurements:
1. Plug the SFP transceiver into the ETH1 or ETH2 port on the IOC module of the
TP5000 probe module.
2. Plug an Ethernet cable into the SFP transceiver.
3. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable directly into the network, as shown in
Figure 4-1. Although not recommended, TimeAnalyzers 5-port switch can also
be used, but a separate Ethernet cable must be used to connect the switch into
the network (unless all devices and the computer are configured as part of the
same subnet).

The E1 Reference In signal to the TimeWatch probe module is provided by port 1 of
the TP5000 probe module. Use the following procedure to connect the ports with
the mini-BNC (right-angle) to BNC cable included in the TimeAnalyzer 7x00 ship kit.
1. Connect the mini-BNC (right-angle) connector of the cable to Port 1 on the
TP5000 probe modules I/O card, as shown in Figure 2-18.
2. Connect the straight BNC connector end of the cable to the REF IN port on the
TimeWatch module, as shown in Figure 2-18.
Figure 2-18. TimeWatch REF IN Connection From TP5000 module
Once the REF IN signal is supplied, as described in the section Connecting the E1
Reference to TimeWatch Module, the E1 signal to be measured can be connected
to the TimeWatch module MEASURE IN port.
The E1 MEASURE IN signal to the TimeWatch probe module can be provided by
the SPAN 1 port of the TP500 slave module, or any E1 source. Use the following
procedure to connect the ports with the BNC-to-BNC cable included in the
TimeAnalyzer 7500 ship kit .
1. Connect the staight BNC connector of the cable to the SPAN 1 BNC port on the
TP500 module, as shown in Figure 2-19. If an E1 signal from another source is to
be measured, use a cable of appropriate length to connect to the E1 output of
that source.
2. Connect BNC connector on the other end of the cable to the MEASURE IN port
on the TimeWatch module, as shown in Figure 2-19. If an E1 signal from another
source is to be measured, the cable must have a BNC connector (or BNC
adapter) to connect to the TimeWatch module MEASURE IN port.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable into the 1588 port on the TP500. See Figure 1-8.
4. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable directly into the network, as shown in
Figure 4-2. (Symmetricom recommends that PTP signals be connected directly
to the network rather than through TimeAnalyzers 5-port switch.)
Figure 2-19. TimeWatch MEASURE IN Connection From TP500 module
Two of the four traditional telecom synchronization mini-BNC ports (Port3 and
Port4) on the TP5000 modules I/O card (Figure 2-20) are dedicated output ports,
with the following signal types:
1PPS
10MHz
These signals can be used to measure phase performance of a PTP client through
the use of external customer-provided equipment. (This is a future capability of
TimeAnalyzer 7x00).
Use the following procedure to connect the 1PPS or 10 MHz output signals of the
TP5000 probe to another device. Users must supply their own cables for
connections to these output ports, with a mini-BNC connector on the TP5000
module end of the cable.
1. Connect the mini-BNC connector end of the cable to the 1PPS or 10 MHz port on
the TP5000 probe modules I/O card.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the desired device.

Repl y f r om192. 168. 1. 11: t i me=0ms
Notes: The default interface for gm1 in non-VLAN connection is if0,
so the command to assign gm1 to interface if0 is not shown.
If the TA7x000 was used previously with a VLAN connection,attach
the Grandmaster to the non-VLAN interace, if0, with the command
set i nt er f ace at t achment s {GM1 | GM2 | NODE- MGR}
{i f 0 | i f 1| i f 2 | i f 3 | i f 4}.
See the TP500 Users Guide for additional details about configuring
VLAN and interface attachments.
Example: TP500>set i nt er f ace at t achment s gm1 i f 0
TimeWatch Probe Module Configuration
This section provides information on configuring the TimeWatch probe module.
Connecting to the TimeWatch Probe Module
On or prior to installation the probe must be configured to setup its IP address. A
menu-driven ASCII interface is available on the RS-232 Management Port and
telnet/SSH on the Ethernet port.
Connect Via RS-232
First, connect to the Management Port (9-way female D-Type) of the TimeWatch
probe module using the serial-to-USB cable. Use a terminal emulator like
HyperTerminal to communicate with the probe module; the interface is configured to
operate at 115,200 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
The terminal emulator should be set to emulate VT102; under HyperTerminal this
mode is not fully tested so use auto-detect or VT100J mode. In HyperTerminal the
boxes will be drawn with other characters but the application will function correctly.
Tera Term Pro can emulate VT102 correctly and works well with the TimeWatch
module . It can be downloaded from
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html. On connection to the probe
a login prompt will be displayed - press enter if thisdoes not occur. It may be
necessary to power-cycle the probe to obtain the prompt, which will appear after
startup messages. After connection a login screen will show. Enter the username
swconf and when prompted enter the password fr7ebi. This will enter the
menu-driven configuration interface as described below.
Notes: The Default user name and password for the TimeWatch
module are:
User swconf
Password fr7ebi
Connect Via Ethernet
It is also possible to use a telnet or SSH connection to configure the Probe. A
crossover Ethernet cable or Ethernet hub with no network connection is required to
connect a PC to the Ethernet port if it is not on an existing network.
Using a telnet/SSH client (not Windows telnet), connect to the probe. After
connection a login screen will show. Enter the username swconf and when
prompted enter the password fr7ebi. This will enter a menu-driven configuration
interface as described in the following section.
Configure the Management PC
The factory default address of the probe is 192.168.1.10. It will be necessary to
change the IP address of the PC configuring the probe. Under Windows this can be
achieved by opening Network and Dial-up Connections from Control Panel,
right-clicking on Local Area Connection, selecting Properties, selecting Internet
Protocol, and selecting Properties. Set the IP address to 192.168.1.2 and subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0. If the IP address of the probe has been previously changed
then the new IP address needs to be entered via telnet or SSH; the PC must be
connected to the same network. If the IP address of the probe is not known this can
be changed or retrieved as detailed in Connect Via RS-232 above.
Configuring the TimeWatch Probe Module
This section describes the TimeWatch probe module menus. Only the General and
Ethernet menus are needed to configure TImeWatch with the TimeAnalyzer 7500.
Other menus may be described but can be ignored. See the TimeWatch Operation
and Service Guide for additional details.
Use the General menu to configureTimewatch to operate with TimeMonitor, and
to select the port to be used for communication with TimeMonitor.
Notes: The Windows "telnet" program will not correctly connect to the
probe, so an alternative application is required. Symmetricom
recommends 'Putty', which is available on the TimeAnalyzerr 7500
support CD. It is also available at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Notes: The Default IP address for the TimeWatch module is:
IP Address 192.168.1.10
Notes: To avoid connectivity problems, remember to reset the IP
address of the PC before attempting to connect to other networks.
Use the Ethernet menu to set the IP address, netmask, and gateway for
TimeWatch, or to configure the TimeWatch for DHCP.
Navigating the Menu System
Upon login, the following screen will display for a few seconds:
Figure 3-7. Example of Initial Screen After Login
After this, the main menu screen will display:

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

Chapter 5 Analyzing
Calculations and Masks
TimeMonitor PDV includes two computations for packet timing data PDV analysis,
packetTDEV and packetZTIE. These computations are based on - but are not
identical to - floor-based calculations such as minTDEV, percentileTDEV, and ZTIE
with minimum transit time packet selection.
Further, checking or unchecking "Optimal" has a direct bearing on the packetTDEV
and packetZTIE calculations. The calculations and the resulting plots are affected
by selecting or unselecting "Optimal". In general, the result is improved by selecting
"Optimal". In all cases the result is the same or better when "Optimal" is selected.
As described above, with "Optimal" unchecked, the plot results are an indication of
how a generic PTP slave will perform. When the Optimal checkbox is selected,
additional analysis is invoked to indicate how a PTP slave with more advanced
packet-timing algorithm will perform under identical network conditions. Such a PTP
client can tolerate more degraded network conditions and still meet the
performance mask.
PacketTDEV
The minTDEV and percentileTDEV calculations, which are the basis for the
packetTDEV calculations, are described in detail in the TimeMonitor Analyzer User
Guide. The definitions are reproduced here, first for minTDEV and then for
percentileTDEV.
The definition of minTDEV is:
where
The percentileTDEV calculation is a generalization of the minTDEV calculation.
Like the minTDEV calculation, it is applicable to packet delay data. While the
minTDEV calculation involves the selection of a single minimum delay "lucky
packet", the percentileTDEV finds a set of minimum delay packets and averages
them together. It is a special case of the bandTDEV calculation. For further
information, refer to the TimeMonitor Analyzer User Guide.
The packetTDEV calculation is used as a predictor for how a reasonably
well-designed PTP slave should perform from the standpoint of TDEV under the
network conditions under study. The PTP slave is evaluated by measuring the
telecom signal, such as a DS1 (1.544Mbit) or E1 (2.048Mbit) signal. The TDEV
performance would then be ascertained by applying the standard TDEV calculation
to the DS1 or E1 measurement data. If the packetTDEV result meets the
packetTDEV sync mask, for example, a PTP slave would be expected to meet the
corresponding telecom sync mask, such as the G.823 sync mask.

Chapter 5 Analyzing
As mentioned above, the packetTDEV calculation is adjusted when "Optimal" is
selected. The analysis in this "Optimal" case is a deeper look into the packet delay
data in an attempt to model network characteristics which in a simpler analysis
would be overlooked. In doing so, the packetTDEV calculation result is improved,
that is, the specific calculation points of the packetTDEV noise are reduced from
what they were when "Optimal" is unchecked.
In the two plots that follow, the packetTDEV calculation is applied to a set of data
first with "Optimal" unchecked and then with "Optimal" checked. In this case, there
is a packetTDEV "FAIL" when the "Optimal" processing is not invoked and a
packetTDEV "PASS" when "Optimal" processing is applied.
PacketZTIE
The packetZTIE calculation is based on the ZTIE calculation with floor-based packet
selection. The ZTIE calculation is exactly the same as the MATIE calculation, which
is described in detail in the TimeMonitor Analyzer User Guide.
This, then, is the definition of ZTIE (MATIE) calculation:
where n =1, 2,., integer part of N/2
This definition is akin to the standard TDEV calculation in that minimum selection or
floor averaging is not part of the definition. The packetZTIE calculation incorporates
floor averaging much as packetTDEV - which is itself based on minTDEV and
percentileTDEV - does.
J ust as the application of the packetTDEV calculation to PDV data is linked to PTP
slave TDEV performance, the application of the packetZTIE calculation is linked to
PTP slave MTIE performance which among other things is itself is an indicator of
frequency offset. The TDEV calculation by contrast is unaffected by a frequency
offset. Thus, just as TDEV and MTIE are complementary metrics, packetTDEV and
packetZTIE are complementary metrics.
If, for example, a packetZTIE analysis of PDV data is shown to meet a packetZTIE
mask based on a wireless backhaul 1 PPB requirement, a slave would be expected
to meet an MTIE mask with a 1 PPB asymptote.

To illustrate this, consider the packetZTIE analysis shown in Figure 5-1 below.
Figure 5-1. packetZTIE Analysis of PDV Data Where Mask is Met
Also consider the MTIE analysis of a PTP slave measurement, as shown in
Figure 5-2 below.
Figure 5-2. MTIE analysis of a PTP Slave Measurement
In the plots above, passing the packetZTIE mask for the 1PPB requirement (the first
plot) corresponds to the PTP slave passing the 1PPB MTIE wireless backhaul
requirement (the second plot).
Chapter 5 Analyzing
As was the case for packetTDEV, the packetZTIE calculation is adjusted when
"Optimal" is selected. As before, the analysis in this "Optimal" case is a deeper look
into the packet delay data in an attempt to model network characteristics which in a
simpler analysis would be overlooked. In doing so, the packetZTIE calculation
result is improved, that is, the degradation represented by specific calculation points
is reduced from what it was when "Optimal" was unchecked.
Masks
There are six masks available for packetTDEV and packetZTIE analysis. They
cover application requirements ranging from synchronization interface
requirements, to traffic interface requirements, to wireless backhaul frequency offset
requirements.
Four of the masks apply to the packetZTIE calculation and two of the masks apply
to the packetTDEV calculation. These masks are described in Table 5-1 below:
Additional Analysis
The TimeMonitor PDV software stores data to files, and can plot packetTDEV and
packetZTIE along with masks for pass/fail checking. For further analysis, the
companion application TimeMonitor Analyzer can be used for importing, viewing,
and analyzing PDV data from files created by TimeMonitor PDV.
In addition, TimeMonitor Analyzer allows multiple measurements to be combined
onto a single plot using the plot overlay function. See the TimeMonitor Analyzer
User Guide for further details.

Working With TP5000 Cards
Working With TP5000 Cards
This section describes how to install, remove, and handle the IMC, IOC and IO
cards of the TP5000 probe module. The IMC, IOC and IO cards of the TP5000
probe module are the only field replaceable components for the TimeAnalyzer 7x00.
Handling Cards
When handling any of the cards, observe the following precautions:
1. Use proper static control precautions when handling cards! Protect the
equipment against ESD (electrostatic discharge) by using a grounded protective
wrist strap and normal equipment grounding.
2. Avoid touching component leads and edge connectors.
3. Avoid placing the card on an ungrounded surface.
4. Avoid allowing the card to come in contact with insulated surfaces.
Inserting Cards
This procedure is common for all cards.
Use the following procedure to insert a card into the chassis:
1. Align the card edges within the guides of the selected slot.
2. Slide the card into the chassis and press firmly until it seats fully into its
backplane edge connector.
3. Tighten the captive screws located on each side of the panel.
Caution: All cards can be removed and inserted while system power
is supplied without damaging cards; however, system performance
may be affected.
Note: The I/O card does not have captive screws and requires a
Phillips screwdriver.
Caution: To avoid possible damage or intermittent failures, ensure
that you have completely inserted the card into the chassis and that
you have securely tightened the captive screws.
Removing Cards
To remove a TP5000 card, loosen the screws and then pull out the card. Be sure to
place the card on a static-free surface.
Repairing the TimeAnalyzer 7x00 is limited to replacing the IMC (090-50331-01), IO
(090-50312-01), or IOC (090-50322-01) cards on the TP5000 probe module. These
are the only field-replaceable components in the TimeAnalyzer 7x00. If it is possible
to isolate any defects or problems to one of these three TP5000 cards,
Symmetricom can send card replacements. Refer to the TP5000 Users Guide for
information on how to properly handle cards to prevent electrostatic or physical
damage. If it is not possible to isolate any problems to one of these three cards, the
entire TimeAnalyzer 7x00 assembly must be returned to Symmetricom for
troubleshooting and repair. See Returning the TimeAnalyzer 7x00, on page 127.
There are no field-serviceable fuses in the TimeAnalyzer 7x00. If a fuse blows in a
TimeAnalyzer 7x00, the unit must be returned to the factory for repair.
Removing the IOC
You can remove either of two IOCs in a chassis without affecting outputs. If you
need to remove the only IOC in a chassis, or remove both IOCs from a chassis,
outputs are interrupted and will resume once one IOC has achieved normal
operating state.
Removing the Only IOC in a Chassis
To remove the only IOC in a chassis, use the following procedure. Output signals
will be interrupted; they will resume once the IOC has achieved normal operating
state.
1. Save the contents of the IOC memory in the IMC by issuing the following
command:
Type set conf i gur at i on backup i oc- t o- i mc and press Enter.
2. Attach a wrist grounding strap and connect it to the TimeAnalyzer 7x00 chassis.
Caution: You must disconnect the GPS antenna before removing the
IMC card.
3. Loosen the captive retaining screws and pull out on them to unseat the IOC from
the chassis.
4. Place the IOC in a static-free bag or on a static-free surface.
Install a new IOC using the appropriate procedure in Replacing the IOC, on page
124.
Replacing the IOC
To replace the IOC in a chassis, use the following procedure. Output signals will
resume once the IOC has achieved normal operating state. This procedure
assumes that you have stored the contents of the IOC memory in the IMC using the
Set Conf i gur at i on Backup command.
2. Remove the IOC card using the procedure above.
3. Align the new IOC cards edges within the guides of the selected slot.
4. Slide the IOC card into the chassis and press firmly until it seats fully into its
backplane edge connector.
5. Tighten the captive screws located on each side of the panel
6. Copy the contents of the IOC memory stored in the IMC by issuing the following
command.
Type set conf i gur at i on r est or e i oc and press Enter.
If you have not stored the contents of the IOC memory in the IMC, then provision
the IOC using the procedures and commands described in Chapter 3, Configuring.
Wait for the IOC to reboot and achieve normal operating state.
Warning: To avoid possible electrostatic damage to the IOC, place it
in a static-free bag or on a static-free surface.
Replacing the IMC
You can remove the IMC from the chassis and replace it without affecting outputs.
1. Save the contents of the IMC memory in an IOC (example is for IOC1) by issuing
the following command:
Type set conf i gur at i on backup i mc- t o- i oc1 and press Enter.
3. Remove the IMC by loosening the captive screws and pulling the IMC from the
chassis.
4. Place the IMC in a static-free bag or on a static-free surface.
5. Insert another IMC into the chassis and tighten the captive screws.
6. Reload the IMC memory from the IOC by issuing the following command:
Type set conf i gur at i on r est or e i mc- t o- i oc1 and press Enter..
You can upgrade the firmware in the TP5000 probe card, TP500 and TimeWatch.
Refer to the Users Guides for these devices (included with TimeAnalyzer 7x00) for
specific firmware upgrade procedures.
Caution: You must disconnect the GPS antenna cable before
removing the IMC card.
Warning: To avoid possible electrostatic damage to the IMC, place it
in a static-free bag or on a static-free surface.
Warning: To avoid possible electrostatic damage to the card or panel,
place it in a static-free bag or on a static-free surface.
The TimeAnalyzer 7x00 can operate in either a basic configuration, or in a
redundant configuration in one chassis. Basic configuration consists of the following
components:
1 Chassis
1 IMC card
1 IOC card
Redundant configuration consists of the following components:
1 Chassis
1 IMC card
2 IOC cards
