The unit will not respond to IPv4 NTP packets if the reflector is enabled for IPv6. The unit will not respond to IPv6 NTP packets if the reflector is enabled for IPv4. The SyncServer S600 Series implements real-time, hardware-based network packet processing in tandem with accurate hardware based NTP time stamping, general packet limiting and alarming.
Chapter 4 Navigation Windows The NTP Reflector is a real-time, hardware-based NTP packet identification and time-stamping engine. The high capacity hardware uses the extremely accurate S600 Series clock to deliver the best possible NTP timestamps. At line speed, NTP client packets are identified, the precise and accurate T2 and T3 time stamps are added and the packets returned to the requesting NTP client, while also bandwidth-limiting all other packets to the CPU.
Page 85
Chapter 4 Navigation Windows It is important to note that NTP is UDP/IP and is by nature susceptible to DoS attacks as no TCP/IP connection is required. The Security-Hardening of the line speed NTP Reflector is such that in the event of an NTP DoS attack the NTP packets will not reach the CPU and compromise the server operation.
Page 86
Chapter 4 Navigation Windows Timing Configuration Windows The Timing tab on the dashboard provides access to windows to enable time and holdover sources, manually set time, set the time zone, and to configure format of the serial output. Note: The SyncServer 6x0 does not contain a battery-backed real time clock.
Chapter 4 Navigation Windows Figure 4-21. Timing - Input Control Window Timing - Holdover Configuration Window Use this window to configure a duration in holdover (loss of stratum 0 reference) until the server either unlocks or attempts to get time from other NTP servers (if configured to do so).
Chapter 4 Navigation Windows Holdover occurs when the input references (GNSS, etc.) are not available and microprocessor is steering the internal oscillator (standard, OCXO, Rubidium). During holdover the clock accumulates error (drifts away from perfect). By adjusting the values you can explore the relationship of holdover in days and clock error for the installed oscillator.

Antenna Kits Accessories Lightning Arrestor Microsemi offers the lightning arrestor for installations that require antenna coaxial lead-in protection. The lightning arrestor passes DC power and frequencies in the 1.5 GHz range with L1 GNSS antennas. In most installations, the lightning arrestor mounts near the point at which the antenna lead enters the facility.
Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas Antenna Kits Overview Figure C-2. GNSS Lightning Arrestor GNSS L1 In-line Amplifier The GNSS L1 in-line amplifier (093-15202-005) option boosts the signal from the antenna with total cable lengths of 150 and 230 meters. See the GNSS L1 Inline Amplifier Specifications, on page 210 for specifications.

The in-line amplifier receives DC power from the GNSS receiver, and is supplied on the center conductor of the coaxial cable. Microsemi does not recommend cutting the antenna cables provided in the GNSS Antenna Kit. Recommendation: Microsemi recommends that you consider the...
Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas GNSS Antenna Installation 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 lightning arrestors are used, they also need to be connected to the perimeter ground system or to the bulkhead entrance panel that is connected to the perimeter ground system.

Cutting Antenna Cables Microsemi recommends that you coil excess cable to avoid gain mismatch between the GNSS antenna and the GNSS receiver. Coiling the excess cable also allows you to use the factory-installed crimped connector.

2. Connect the ground wire between the lightning arrestor and the proper grounding zone (building ground, master ground bar, or other) for the mounting location. Recommendation: Microsemi does not recommend soldered connections for grounding purposes. All grounding connections should be secured with mechanical clamp connectors.
Verify that all input and output cables are properly installed. Verify that all antenna connectors are secure, tight, and weatherproofed. Microsemi does not generally recommend the use of GNSS splitters. However, if one is used, Microsemi recommends the use of GPS L1 1:4 Active Splitter.

Ethernet Port Isolation The SyncServer S600 Series Network Time Servers have four Ethernet ports. These independent ports allow the SyncServer to connect to distinct Ethernet subnets. There is only one CPU in the SyncServer, so all of the Ethernet traffic, with the exception of the NTP Reflector, is ultimately handled by the protocol stack of the operating system.
