Chapter 1 Overview
Functional Description
The TP5000 has four primary functions in the system:
 Input shelf for the system
 Timing synchronization source to expansion shelves using DTI
 External management interface
 Controller for the expansion shelves in the system.
In the TimeProvider 5000 expansion shelf system, expansion shelves are primarily
output shelves. They use the time and frequency information from the TP5000 and
convert them to different synchronization signal formats. Symmetricom offers two
types of expansion shelves for the TP5000: the TimeProvider E30 expansion shelf
provides E1 and 1PPS+TOD outputs and the TimeProvider E10 expansion shelf
provides PTP and SyncE outputs. More outputs can be added by adding
appropriate expansion shelves.
Expansion Connections
The TP 5000 provides time and frequency to the expansion shelves through DTI
links in the expansion interface. The TP5000 controls and manages the expansion
shelves through Ethernet in the expansion interface. The Ethernet management link
and the DTI links share the same physical RJ-45 connector but they are logically
two separate networks.
