Connecting Cables to a GPS Interface
The following sections describe how to connect cables from the Cisco NCS 540 Small Density router to a
GPS unit for input or output timing:
Connecting a Cable to the Input 10-MHz or 1-PPS Interface
1. Connect one end of the mini-coax cable to the external GPS unit or any other equipment that is provided
with stable 1PPS/10M reference input.
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management Ethernet port until the initial
configuration is complete.
To comply with GR-1089-CORE, the intra-building port(s) of the equipment must use shielded
intra-building cabling or wiring that is grounded at both ends.
The timing features are not applicable to Cisco N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D router.
