"0". The VersaSync Web UI VersaSync has an integrated web user interface (referred to as "Web UI" throughout this documentation) that can be accessed from a computer over a network connection, using a standard web browser. The Web UI is the most complete way to configure the unit, and for status monitoring during everyday operation.
1.5 The VersaSync Web UI 1.5.1 The Web UI HOME Screen HOME screen of the VersaSync web user interface ("Web UI") provides com- prehensive status information at a glance, including: vital system information current status of the references key performance/accuracy data major events.
These cables are included in the Evaluation kit. If you plan to use your own cables, some of these instructions may not apply. The step-by-step instructions below outline the VersaSync installation and configuration process: Install VersaSync...
("Web UI") is used to configure and monitor the unit. The Web UI is available through one of the Ethernet ports via a network connection. Default settings: VersaSync network settings default to static IP addresses. The Ethenet ports come pre- configured with IP addresses as follows: Eth0 - 192.168.1.1 Eth1 - 192.168.1.2...
2.1 Network Setup Default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Note: VersaSync supports zeroconf: If you have a DHCP-enabled network, you can use zeroconf for initial setup. For more information, see "Zero Con- figuration Setup" on page 19. Otherwise follow the instructions below for conventional setup.

Click submit, and start a new Web UI session by entering the new IP address into your browser and logging in. e. You have now established a network connection with VersaSync. Continue with other configurations e.g., NTP settings, references, outputs, etc. See the manuals.spectracom.com...
(DHCP must be enabled through the Web UI or CLI) in circumstances when your unit is not connected directly to a PC when you wish to access the Web UI of your VersaSync without using the CLI com- mands or serial connection anytime the IP address of a unit is not known VersaSync Getting Started Guide Rev.
If you do not have physical access to the unit, you can obtain the MAC 0 address by accessing VersaSync's CLI via the I/O connector USB port, using e.g., the ifconfig command. Once you logged into the VersaSync via zeroconf, you can retrieve the DHCP address for future use: Navigate to MANAGEMENT: NETWORK >...
2.3 Assigning I/O Pins Assigning I/O Pins VersaSync's I/O connector is software configurable, i.e. the pin interfaces and the signal modulations can be configured by the user via the VersaSync Web UI. The software-configurable 26-pin I/O connector comprises 9 user-configurable Channels, plus one fixed USB interface.
DCLS outputs and three DCLS inputs are available for e.g., 1PPS, xPPS, IRIG, HaveQuick, ASCII ToD signal transmission. Single-ended Serial Lines VersaSync provides up to 3 RX and 3 TX RS232 interfaces for e.g., ASCII ToD – NMEA 0183 (ICD-GPS-153).
