5.2.2 Option Card Field Installation Instructions
Typically, SecureSync units are shipped with custom-ordered option cards pre-installed at
the factory. In the event that an option card is purchased at a later time, you need to install
it yourself, following the instructions below.
5.2.2.1 Field Installation: Introduction
SecureSync time and frequency synchronization system offers customizability and expand-
ability via the addition of a range of modular option cards. Up to 6 option cards (depending
on your unit specifications) can be accommodated to offer not only synchronization to a
variety of input references, but also numerous types of output signals, supporting an
extensive number of traditional and contemporary timing protocols including:
digital and analog timing and frequency signals (1PPS, 1MHz/5MHz/10MHz)
timecodes (IRIG, STANAG, ASCII)
high accuracy and precision network timing (NTP, PTP)
telecom timing (T1/E1), and more.
Note: The installation procedure varies, depending on the type of option
card and the installation location to be installed.
5.2.2.2 Outline of the Installation Procedure
The general steps necessary for installing SecureSync option cards are as follows:
1.
If adding or removing option cards that provide a reference, optionally backup your
SecureSync configuration (refer to "[2]: Saving Refererence Priority Con-
figuration" on page341, if applicable to your scenario or environment.)
2.
Safely power down the SecureSync unit and remove the top cover of the main
chassis (housing).
