Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider This chapter describes the TimeProvider product.
PAGE 20
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Overview Overview The TimeProvider is Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU) designed specifically to meet the needs at the network edge. In small offices where core office synchronization solutions are critical, an edge clock like the TimeProvider is ideal because of its compact size and flexibility. Using the integrated GPS features, you can use the TimeProvider in a “small” Central Office to act as a Primary Reference Source (PRS).
PAGE 21
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Overview Figure 1-1. TimeProvider 1000 ETSI-style Shelf Figure 1-2. TimeProvider 1100 Rear Access Shelf Expansion Panel The TimeProvider has an optional Expansion Panel that doubles (to 64) the number of output channels available. Figure 1-3 shows the rear-access version of the Expansion Panel. The Expansion Panel receives timing signals from the TimeProvider main shelf through an expansion cable.
PAGE 22
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Overview Figure 1-3. TimeProvider 1100 Expansion Panel Inputs The TimeProvider accepts the following types of input signals: Primary Reference Signals (PRS): 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 5 MHz, 6.312 MHz, or 10 MHz Span input signals: – E1 or 2.048 MHz analog; user-selectable CAS or CCS framing – T1 D4, Extended Superframe (ESF) – 1.544 and 6.
PAGE 23
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Operating Modes The TimeProvider outputs are arranged into four groups of eight outputs per group in the Main shelf and four groups of eight outputs per group in the optional Expansion panel. Each group is labeled A, B, C, and D, and can be configured independently. Communication Three communications ports provide access to the TimeProvider: Ethernet, local Craft serial port, and a Remote serial port.
PAGE 24
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Performance Monitoring In the SSU mode, the INP1 and INP2 inputs cannot be provisioned to receive Composite Clock (CC) signals, including JCC or JCC4. The method of selecting the system reference is described in Selecting the Input, on page 35. SUB Mode This mode allows the TimeProvider to operate as a Remote shelf where phase is critical. When you select the SUB mode, INP1 and INP2 are automatically set for CC inputs (including JCC and JCC4).
PAGE 25
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Performance Monitoring Using MTIE and FFOFF data, the TimeProvider qualifies inputs based on these metrics. You can specify thresholds to disqualify inputs and generate corresponding alarms, causing the TimeProvider to switch references or enter the Holdover mode. For more information on performance monitoring, see Using Performance Monitoring, on page 116.
PAGE 26
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider NTP Operation FFOFF Calculations FFOFF is a measure of the frequency deviation of the input signal against the system reference, expressed as a ratio. The TimeProvider automatically calculates FFOFF for each enabled input from the 600 most recent 1-second phase updates. You can use the automatic FFOFF calculations to qualify each input with user-defined qualification thresholds.
PAGE 27
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider NTP Operation The NTP implementation in the TimeProvider supports full NTP server and client mode operations, and works with or without GPS reference signals. The TimeProvider supports the following NTP modes: Mode 1: GPS available, Server mode – The NTP application defaults to GPS as the master time reference; only NTP Server mode is supported.
PAGE 28
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol The TimeProvider offers two versions of SNMP: v2 and v3. SNMP v3 software offers additional security with authentication and privacy parameters. The security feature allows secure transactions to provide protection against modification of information, masquerade, and message stream modification. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is based on a client-server query-response mode.

PAGE 32
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Functional Description Integrated Information Management Card with TimeProvider Interface Unit (IMC/TPIU) For users who use the GPS feature, the integrated IMC/TPIU combines the features of the IMC card with the TPIU into the same size footprint as a stand-alone IMC card (see the descriptions of the IMC and TPIU). The IMC/TPIU reduces rack space requirements by eliminating the rack mounted stand-alone TPIU.
PAGE 33
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider System Power Output Module The Output module provides the output connectors for the TimeProvider. Like the Input module, each Output module uses one of a variety of connectors that match the wiring system at the installation site. Making Output Connections, on page 66, describes the Output Modules available for the TimeProvider and the Expansion Panel. Expansion Panel The Expansion Panel provides up to 32 additional outputs that the TimeProvider can generate.
PAGE 34
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Communication Ports Communication Ports The TimeProvider contains three communications ports that allow you to provision, monitor, and troubleshoot the shelf. The Ethernet and Remote serial ports are located on the shelf, and the local Craft serial port is located on the IMC. You communicate with the TimeProvider using the TL1 protocol. You can select one of four security levels for each user; each level has varying levels of access to provisioning parameters.
PAGE 35
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Reference Input Signals Make the input connections using the procedures described in Making Input Connections, on page 63, then provision the inputs using the software commands described in Provisioning the Input Reference, on page 108.
PAGE 36
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider Reference Input Signals provision the REFMODE parameter to FORCED to select an input as the system reference regardless of the priority levels of other outputs. If this input is lost or is disqualified, then the REFMODE automatically changes to AUTO and the next available reference based on priority and QLEVEL becomes the system reference. If no other input references are available, the TimeProvider enter the Holdover mode.

ANSI SSM Quality Level Definitions (Continued) Description Quality Level Abbreviation SONET Minimum Clock traceable (20 ppm clock) 7 SMC Stratum 4 traceable (32 ppm clock) 8 ST4 Do Not Use for synchronization 9 DUS Table 1-5.
PAGE 43
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider SmartClock These output formats automatically generate SSMs. The quality level of the TimeProvider’s output depends on the quality level of the input signal or the quality level of the local oscillator. During normal operation, when a qualified input is used as the active timing reference, the TimeProvider copies the input’s quality level to all DS1 ESF outputs and E1 CAS4 or CCS4 outputs.
PAGE 44
Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeProvider BesTime Two weighting algorithms - tracking and holdover - determine which of the inputs are used as the ensembled reference. The tracking algorithm is used during normal operation. If the GPS becomes disqualified, BesTime uses the holdover weighting algorithm to determine what the GPS input would have been had it not been lost. You can use the RTRV-BESTIME-STATS command to view the current weighting for each input.
