Page 20: Overview
Overview The TimeSource 3500 is a Primary Reference Source (PRS) that receives and processes signals from GPS satellites, and outputs Stratum 1 synchronization signals traceable to UTC. TimeSource 3500 applications include synchronization for central offices, wireless base stations, transmission nodes, and other cases where a primary reference source can improve the performance of a telecommunications network infrastructure.
Page 21: Global Positioning System
Global Positioning System The United States Government developed the GPS navigation system. It is a satellite-based, radio navigation aid designed to provide global, all-weather, precise navigation and timing capability to users 24 hours a day. The satellites, circling the earth at approximately 12,550 statute miles, are arranged in 6 orbits with 4 operational satellites in each orbit.
Page 22: Physical Description
Physical Description The TimeSource 3500 consists of a shelf, a plug-in card, an antenna, cables, hardware, and software. Optional system configurations include eight additional T1 outputs, eight additional composite clock outputs, two IRIG-B TOD timing outputs, or eight mixed E1/T1 outputs. The shelf (Figure 1) occupies two rack mounting units (RU), and can be mounted in a 19 inch rack or a 23 inch rack.

Page 24: Shelf
Roof Antenna The roof antenna (Figure 2) is encased in weather-resistant plastic housing for outdoor installation, usually on a roof. A single coaxial cable carries signals and power between the antenna and the shelf. Figure 2. Roof Antenna 12.375 in. 1.75 in.
Page 25: Mechanical Window Antenna
Mechanical Window Antenna The mechanical window antenna (Figure 3) may be attached to a window sill or wall, in any position that allows the antenna to be moved flush against the window. The antenna can be swung away from the window for window maintenance, and returned to its original position.
Page 26: Self-Adhesive Window Antenna
Self-Adhesive Window Antenna The self-adhesive window antenna assembly (Figure 4) consists of the antenna and two pieces of self-stick hook-and-loop fabric fasteners (Velcro brand or equivalent). The hook-and-loop fabric attaches directly to a window. Coaxial cables carry signals and power between the antenna and the IF converter, and between the IF converter and the shelf.
Page 27 Wall Antenna The wall antenna (Figure 5) is mounted on the outside of a building wall. The antenna attaches magnetically to the mounting bracket. The cable from the antenna is routed through a hole drilled in the wall. Coaxial cables carry signals and power between the antenna and the IF converter, and between the IF converter and the shelf.
Page 28: Functional Description
Functional Description Overview Figure 6 shows the main functions of the TimeSource 3500. The center of the TimeSource 3500 is the BesTime Ensemble Timing Generator, which uses the BesTime algorithm to analyze the phase and frequency relationships, individually and collectively, of the timing sources.

Table A. Timing Source Characteristics Source Characteristic Local Oscillator Short term stability T1 Line Intermediate term stability GPS Signal Long term stability Antenna The antenna types include a roof antenna, mechanical window antenna, self-adhesive window antenna, or wall antenna. All antennas include a GPS receiver, amplifier, and intermediate- frequency (IF) downconverter.
Page 31 The zone of protection shall include the space not intruded by a rolling sphere having a radius of 150 ft (45.72 meters). Where the sphere is tangent to earth and resting against a strike termination device, all space in the vertical plane between the two points of contact and under the sphere shall be considered to be in the zone of protection.
Page 32: If Interface
If the wall antenna is installed outside the zone of protection, Symmetricom offers an outdoor and/or indoor lightning protector kits for these installations. Refer to Chapter 2, Engineering & Ordering, for more information on these kits.
Page 33: Power Supply
Use of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) feature requires activation with a password. Activation is accomplished through receipt of a Network Time Protocol Activation Certificate from Symmetricom. This certificate contains the unit purchase order number, unit model number, unit activation date, unit serial number, and unit activation key.
Page 34: Eight Mixed E1/T1 Outputs
BesTime algorithms in the BesTime Ensemble Timing Generator. The signals are analyzed for MDEV, TDEV, and other phase and frequency characteristics. The BesTime Ensemble Timing Generator uses mathematical models to analyze each clock. The ensemble algorithms use the comparisons and analyses to generate a highly stable timing signal, which uses the best qualities of all inputs.
Page 35: Pps Output
Additional T1 Outputs (990-72050-02 Systems Only) This option provides eight additional T1 outputs. The outputs are available at the OPTIONS I/O wire-wrap pins on the rear panel. These outputs function the same as the standard T1 outputs. TOD Output The BesTime Ensemble Timing Generator provides the timing for the TOD timing signal available at the RJ-45 connector, which provides time code to devices compatible with NTP Type 4 or Cisco ASCII format.
Page 36: 10 Mhz Output
10 MHz Output The BesTime Ensemble Timing Generator provides timing for the 10 MHz timing signal available at the 10 MHZ connector, which can be used for local cellular frequency or testing purposes. This signal is not squelched during an alarm. Composite Clock Outputs (990-72050-03 Systems Only) This option provides eight composite clock signals.
Page 37: Autonomous Messages
Four ports (5001, 5002, 5003, and 5004) are configured to act as though a serial-port communication terminal were connected to them. These ports communicate TL1 commands, responses and autonomous messages. Two additional ports communicate with Element Managers, which may have NMS, OSMF, or similar software. An Element Manager establishes a connection with one port (5551) for TL1 commands and responses.

Page 39: Startup
Startup When the TimeSource starts up, the CRIT lamp lights. The CRIT lamp remains on for approximately 50 seconds to 60 seconds and then shuts off. During startup, the TimeSource performs several self-tests to verify the integrity of the hardware and software. Neither communication nor outputs are possible at this time, and the CRIT lamp is switched on.
Page 40: Bridging/Holdover Behavior
outputs are enabled using the TL1 command (ED-EQPT::TS3500:ctag:::ALMCOND=ALW;) they may not be within the PRS mask. In case the system is not able to acquire sufficient number of satellites and/or discipline the oscillator within 2 hours, the event escalates into a Non Service Affecting Minor alarm.
Page 41 The system allows the user to set various parameters for GPS error, Holdover error, and SPAN error conditions. These parameters are: • Initial Severity • Initial Service Affecting state • Integration Time • Final Severity • Final Service Affecting state The system also allows the user to set a parameter to define how outputs should behave in an alarm condition.
Page 42: Time Figure Of Merit
Time Figure of Merit Time Figure of Merit (TFOM) is a moving 24 hour measurement reported in nanosecond (ns) against an ideal model. TFOM has a frequency component used to measure GPS wander caused by multipath and a time loop component used to measure long term oscillator wander.
Page 43 ground. Wall/window installations also require the manual input of location data, creating the potential for errors and the need to detect these errors. The TimeSource has unique algorithms to account for, and defeat, the added multipath complications and location data entry error possibilities of wall/window antenna installations.

Page 188: Edit Date
Edit Date This command changes the system date and time. The command format is: ED-DAT:[<tid>]::<ctag>::<date>,[<time>] :[MODE=a]; Parameter Value Parameter Description date in the format a = <year> 4-digit year a-b-c b = 01 to 12 Month c = 01 to 31 Day time in the format a = 00 to 23 Hour of the day a-b-c (Note 1)
Page 189 Edit Date (cont’d) For example, when the UTC time is 01:12:10, setting the local time to 18:50:30 will actually set the clock to 18:42:10, because 18:42:10 is the closest 30 minute jump, relative to UTC, from 18:50:30. This is done to accommodate 30-minute time zones and still keep the local time accurate to UTC.
Page 190 Edit Date (cont’d) > Example 3. UTC time = 01:12:10. Local time = 18:50:30 will set the local time to 18:42:10. • During Holdover Event The date/time continues to increment normally. • During Holdover Alarm The date/time continues to increment normally.
