Why does my Spectracom SecureSync show Stratum 15?
A
Ann MontoyaAug 16, 2025
If the Spectracom Controller displays 'Stratum 15', it means NTP is not synchronized to its available input references. This can happen if the SecureSync was in Holdover mode, but that mode expired without the return of valid inputs. To resolve this:
1. Verify that all available references are enabled in the Configure Reference Priorities table.
2. Verify that the Reference Status on the HOME page shows “OK” (Green) for all available references.

If you cannot log in or access the Web UI of your Spectracom Controller and see the error message “Forbidden You don’t have permission to access/ on this server”, it means your PC is not listed as an allowed source. To restore access:
1. Log in from a PC that is listed as an Allow From in the access table, or
2. Perform an unrestrict command to remove all entries from the Network Access Rules table if the allowed PCs are unknown.

Why is the LED on my Spectracom SecureSync red?

Jennifer ClarkAug 22, 2025
If the LED on your Spectracom Controller is red, it indicates a Time Sync alarm. This occurs when the SecureSync was just powered on and hasn't yet synced to its references, or if all available reference inputs have been lost and the Holdover mode has expired. To resolve this:
1. Ensure the Input Reference Priority table still has the desired inputs enabled, based on your desired priority.
2. Verify that the desired input references are still connected to the correct port of the SecureSync.

Michael SchaeferSep 9, 2025
If the LED on your Spectracom Controller is blank (not lit), it means SecureSync has no AC and/or DC input power applied. To fix this:
1. Verify AC power is connected to an AC source and the AC power switch is ON.
2. Verify DC power (within the correct voltage range, as stated on the DC connector) is applied to the DC power connector.
