    M4000 Compatible Please note when installing in a LANTIME M1000 or LANTIME M1000S system, the IMS-PSX210 can only be installed in the (lower) MRI slot due to the physical dimensions of the module. The module can be installed in any IO, MRI, or ESI slot of your IMS system with a free slot to the right of it...
  • Page 18 This version of the manual has been prepared based on the feature set provided by Kernel Version v4.9.307 of your IMS-PSX210 as well as LANTIME OS Version 7.08. When using a LANTIME system or IMS module with different versions, there may be noticeable differences, for example in the presentation and availability of options in the Web Interface as shown in Chapter 11 ("Configuration and Setup via Web Interface").
  • Page 19: Note Regarding Ptp Terminology

    7 Introduction 7.1 Note Regarding PTP Terminology The user interfaces of this product, and by extension this product documentation, utilize the original IEEE 1588-2002 terminology "Master/Slave" to refer to the hierarchy employed by PTP networks. Various other alternative designations have been suggested and adopted by various devices in the time between the adoption of the original standard and the time of writing of this manual.

    IMS LANTIME system has been established, and the oscillator is locked to the phase reference. Off A fault has been detected in the internal timestamper unit of the IMS-PSX210 and the PTP service has been suspended. Yellow The IMS-PSX210 cannot detect a network link, but the module is otherwise initialized and functional.

    RS-232 cable. This interface provides no essential functionality and is provided solely for maintenance & repair purposes. It should only be used under the guidance of Meinberg Technical Support. 8.3 SMA Signal Outputs These SMA connectors are reserved for future use.
  • Page 23: Network Interface (Sfp+)

    Web Interface is not possible via the network ports on the IMS-PSX210. Information: When selecting a transceiver to use with your IMS-PSX210 module, please be aware that the SFP+ ports only support SFP+ modules with 10 Gigabit Ethernet support. The IMS-PSX210 module does not support standard SFP modules with lower transmission rates.
  • Page 24: Before You Start

    9.1 Contents of Delivery Unpack the IMS-PSX210 and all accessories carefully and check the contents of the delivery against the en- closed packing list to ensure that no parts are missing. If any of the listed items are missing, please contact our Sales Department at sales@meinberg.de.

    10 System Installation 10 System Installation 10.1 Important Information Regarding Hot-Pluggable IMS Modules The following information should be strictly observed when replacing IMS modules during operation. Not all IMS modules are fully hot-pluggable. For example, it is naturally not possible to replace a power supply unit in a system without PSU redundancy without first having installed a second power supply unit while the system is in operation.
  • Page 26: Installation And Removal Of Hot-Pluggable Ims Modules

    10.2 Installation and Removal of Hot-Pluggable IMS Modules A Torx screwdriver is required (T8 x 60) to remove and install IMS modules. Important! Heed the safety information in Chapter 5 of this manual! Removing a Module Remove the two marked Torx screws from the module faceplate.
  • Page 27 10 System Installation Installing a Module To replace a module, remove the installed module in accordance with the guide "Removing a Module” on the previous page. Otherwise, remove the two Torx screws from the cover plate of the unused slot. We recommend keeping the cover plate in a safe place for later use. Insert the module correctly into the two guide rails of the system chassis.
  • Page 28: Data And Signal Cables

    10.3 Data and Signal Cables Clock Communication Communication between the IMS-PSX210 module and other clocks in the PTP infrastructure is achieved via the two SFP ports on the module. These require the use of a SFP+ transceiver module with 10 Gigabit Ethernet support to match the corresponding signal transport requirements.
  • Page 29: Configuration And Setup Via Web Interface

    The IMS-PSX210 is configured by selecting the menu "PTP" "PTP V2 Configuration" in the Web Inter- face. The configuration options addressed in this chapter represent a IMS-PSX210 with Kernel Version v4.9.307 running under LANTIME OS Version 7.08. Date: July 8, 2024...
  • Page 30: Network

    11.1 Network The Network tab is used to perform the IP network configuration for your IMS-PSX210 module. This con- figuration is not necessary if you intend to only use Layer 2 Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) as the communication protocol for both ports.
  • Page 31 (i.e., addresses outside of the local scope). Port-Specific Configuration These settings affect only individual Ethernet ports on your IMS-PSX210 module. Ensure that the correct tab for the port in question is selected before modifying the settings. Hostname: The hostname of the IMS-PSX210 module for clocks communicating via UDP/IPv4 or UDP/IPv6.
  • Page 32 IPv6 Address: If IPv6 address allocation is handled manually in the clock subnet, the address for the IMS-PSX210 module should be entered here. This field will be disabled if DHCP is enabled. IPv6 Multicast Scope: Specifies the address scope for IPv6 multicasts.

    figured by selecting the relevant tab. Operating Mode: Specifies the operating mode of this IMS-PSX210 module. At time of writing only PTPv2 and NTP are supported; PTPv1 and Monitor mode are grayed out and will be enabled in a later firmware version.
  • Page 34 Information: This list assumes the use of the Custom profile. Please note that some options will be unavailable with certain industry profiles due to the constraints imposed by those profile’s standards. PTP Mode: Specifies the transmission mode for the PTP traffic. The possible options are: "Multicast Slave"...
  • Page 35 11 Configuration and Setup via Web Interface Delay Mechanism: Specifies the mechanism by which the delay measurement process is performed: P2P (peer-to-peer) The Delay Request/Delay Response exchange is performed with the most directly connected nodes (e.g., a transparent clock). This mechanism is recommended if it can be guaranteed that every clock—from grandmaster to slave—is PTP-aware (i.e., operates as a PTP clock in its own right).
  • Page 36 Priority 2: The value Priority 2 can be a value from 0–255 and is part of the dataset included in Announce messages for use by slave clocks to prioritize certain master clocks over others. This field can be used to manually specify this value. Unlike Priority 1, Priority 2 takes into account clock quality first and will only act as a tiebreaker if two master clocks are of equal quality.
  • Page 37: Misc

    11 Configuration and Setup via Web Interface 11.3 Misc The Misc. tab provides other general PTP options. Activate PTP One-Step: Where two-step mode employs a Sync and Follow-Up message to account for processing latency in message generation, one-step operation uses the accurate timestamp generated in the Sync message and omits the Follow-Up message.
