    32 redundant universal timing outputs; an optional Expansion Panel provides an additional 32 redundant outputs. Using Symmetricom’s SmartClock™ technology design, the oscillators within the IOCs are enhanced with improved performance and accuracy. Using intelligent firmware algorithms, SmartClock “learns” the effects of the ageing of the clock while it is locked to a reference signal and stores this information in its memory.
  • Page 21: Shelves

    Shelves The TimeProvider is available in two shelf models. Each shelf supports up to 32 redundant output channels. The TimeProvider 1000 is a 175 mm tall ETSI shelf that meets the requirements of ETSI 300 119-4 January 1994. Figure 1-1 shows the TimeProvider 1000 shelf.
  • Page 22: Expansion Panel

    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Overview Figure 1-2. TimeProvider 1100 Rear Access Shelf Expansion Panel The TimeProvider has an optional Expansion Panel that doubles (to 64) the number of output channels available. Figure 1-3 shows the rear-access version of the Expansion Panel.
  • Page 23: Outputs

    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Overview The TimeProvider qualifies the input reference signals and detect the following errors: Loss of Signal (LOS), Alarm Indication Signal (AIS), Loss of Framing, and Synchronization Status Messages (SSM) where applicable. Reference Input Signals, on page 32, describes the inputs in more detail. Outputs The TimeProvider produces a variety of outputs to meet different signal standards.
  • Page 24: Operating Modes

    PRS, INP1, or INP2 connectors are used in conjunction with BesTime to extend compliance with GR-2830/G.812 standards. The PRR mode uses Symmetricom’s BesTime servo control that allows the TimeProvider to continue providing outputs in case GPS tracking is lost, the GPS data loses integrity, or if the IMC is removed from the shelf.
  • Page 25: Performance Monitoring

    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Performance Monitoring Performance Monitoring The TimeProvider can monitor and qualify all enabled input signals based on phase measurements. It measures the phase differences between the inputs and the output of the corrected clock. From these phase measurements, the TimeProvider computes frequency offset and wander of the input signals.

    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Reference Input Signals Revertive Switching Telcordia GR-378 and GR-1244 define two reference selection modes: Revertive and Non-revertive. In the revertive mode, when an input used as the system reference is disqualified (for any reason), if that input returns, it reverts to the system reference when the disqualifying reason is removed.
  • Page 34: Ssu-Based Reference Selection Scenarios

    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Reference Input Signals If the incoming signal does not include SSMs, or if you disable them, then you can provision the Quality Level to an appropriate value. The QLEVEL value is used in the same manner as the incoming SSM to determine which input is used when the active input is disqualified.
