Page 24: Dti Server Hierarchy And M-Cmts Elements
(Edge QAMs, Upstream Receivers, M-CMTS Core, etc.) use DTI to synchronize the DOCSIS Timestamp and Symbol Clock used in the DOCSIS communications between modems and the headend/hub. The TimeCreator 1000 functions as either a root server or subtending server. The root server is at the top of a server hierarchy and is the source of traceable time and frequency for all subtending DTI servers and clients in a building.
Page 25: Timecreator 1000 Front View
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeCreator 1000 Overview A TimeCreator 1000 in a root server configuration can use either its internal clock as the master frequency for the headend/hub meeting DOCSIS specifications, or it can be configured to use GPS. GPS is required for Business Services over DOCSIS (BSoD), which allows you to deliver T1, E1, and NxDSO emulation services.
Page 26: Shelf
Input Signals The TimeCreator 1000 can use either GPS or DTI signals as external input references to acquire the system’s frequency, DTI timestamp, and TOD alignment. NTP and the user-specified time from the IMC’s real-time clock (RTC) can also provide system TOD with much less accuracy.

TOD are tracking the reference frequency (GPS or DTI) and TOD within the DTI specified requirements. Bridging – If all input references are lost, the TimeCreator 1000 goes into  bridging mode. In this mode, the outputs continue to provide accurate timing for a limited period.

MTIE values for 35-second and user-configurable windows. You can set an alarm threshold for each of these windows; if the MTIE value exceeds this threshold and the alarm is enabled, the TimeCreator 1000 generates an alarm. Physical Description The TimeCreator 1000 consists of a 19-inch (48 cm) rack mount shelf, plug-in modules, AC power supply cables and optional GPS cables, and hardware.
Page 31: Timecreator 1000 Modules And Dti Links
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeCreator 1000 Functional Description The front of the TimeCreator 1000 has two IOC module slots and one IMC module slot. The rear has two power supply slots, twelve DTI link connectors and two BITS connectors (see Figure 1-4).

Output when a DTI Client is connected eliminating the need to manually compensate for cable lengths. The maximum cable length is 656 Ft. (200 m). The TimeCreator 1000 provides a 10.24 MHz master clock signal and a 10 kHz frame clock on the front panel.
Page 36: Alarms
Mode, on page 95 for details. Alarms The TimeCreator 1000 uses alarms to notify you when certain conditions are deteriorating below user-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.

Page 123: Obtaining Technical Assistance
Upgrading Single IOCs To upgrade the software in a single IOC, use the procedure in this section. Outputs from the TimeCreator 1000 are interrupted for up to 30 minutes until the upgraded IOC enters the Locked mode. 1. Login at the Admin level (see Login, on page 74).
Page 124 IOC is rebooted first. The IMC waits until that IOC is out of warmup, and then it is set active. At that point, the previously active IOC is rebooted. Note: Symmetricom recommends that redundant IOCs use the same firmware revision.
Page 125: Upgrading The Imc
5. The new software is loaded into the IOC, the IOC is rebooted, and it then enters Warm-up mode for up to 30 minutes. If you are upgrading the active IOC, the TimeCreator 1000 performs the following: the active IOC enters standby mode ...
Page 126: Returning The Timecreator 1000
Note: The system will FTP the file from the specified FTP server (IP address) and then upgrade the module. 5. The TimeCreator 1000 validates the received file, and if the file is valid it updates the flash memory and reboots the IMC.
Page 127: User's Guide Updates
3. Provide the return shipping information (customer field contact, address, telephone number, and so forth.) 4. Ship the product to Symmetricom, transportation prepaid and insured, with the Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and item numbers or part numbers clearly marked on the outside of the container to the address given with the RMA.

CLI Overview CLI Overview The Command Line Interface (CLI), also called the ASCII command set, can be used to control the TimeCreator 1000 from a terminal connected to the EIA-232 serial port, or the Ethernet port. See Figure B-1 below for an overview of the command set.
Page 177: Command User Levels
Command User Levels The TimeCreator 1000 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.
