The TimeSource 2500 consists of a shelf, antenna, cables,
mounting hardware, and software.
The shelf can be mounted on a wall or in an industry-standard
19 inch or 23 inch rack. In a rack, the shelf occupies two rack
units (RU). All connectors and indicators, other than the GPS
antenna, are at the front of the shelf. An optional wire-wrap panel
for rear-access input and output occupies an additional two RU.
Two types of antennas are available: a window antenna or a wall
antenna. The window antenna (Figure 1) uses self-stick hook-and-
loop fabric fasteners (Velcro brand or equivalent) to attach to the
inside of a window. The wall antenna (Figure 2) is mounted to a
wall, outside the building, and the cable between the antenna and
shelf is routed through the wall. In either configuration, a single
coaxial cable carries signals and power between the antenna and
the shelf.
