Console
A mini-USB connector labelled Console is available for EdgeSync to have a serial connection to a PC or
laptop. The user can connect to EdgeSync console via terminal emulation applications on PC like Tera
Term, PuTTy, minicom or Procomm to access the CLI over the serial port.
FREQ Out
BNC connector to port labelled FREQ Out to provide syntonized selectable frequencies output from
EdgeSync. The FREQ Out is DC Blocked.
Timing outputs, 1PPS
A configurable 1PPS is provided on a BNC connector, labelled 1PPS. Connect the 1PPS signal output to
a frequency counter or any other measuring device.
Timing inputs/outputs, ToD / 1PPS
An RJ45 port is provided, labelled ToD / 1PPS. These ports are configurable to provide input or output
for ToD / 1PPS. Both, the ToD format and the 1PPS signal are configurable. Refer to [2] for details of
the timing ports physical/electrical characteristics.
PTP Port 1 and Port 2
One shielded RJ45 copper port and one SFP port is provided in parallel for Port 1. Likewise, one
shielded RJ45 copper port and one SFP port is provided in parallel for Port 2. These ports provide PTP
protocol messages to the timing network. See Gateway and Boundary clock Section of this User Guide
for information on how the PTP Port 1 and Port 2 perform when the Clock Type Mode is configured as
Gateway or Boundary clock. Selecting the Clock Type Mode is described in the PTP :: Clock Section of
this User Guide.
Connecting GNSS Antenna
Connect a suitable GNSS antenna, making sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky. When the GNSS
receiver has good reception, the GNSS LED will be green. EdgeSync provides 5.0 VDC bias to power
remote active antennas.
The GNSS antenna connector is a female SMA with external threads. Once the GNSS antenna is
connected to EdgeSync antenna port, the GNSS operation can be configured and monitored in the
Interface :: GNSS Section of this User Guide.
Applying Power
EdgeSync does not have a power switch, so power should not be applied until the Ground connector is
installed and connected to earth ground. To avoid accidental power up of the EdgeSync, please re-
check and ensure all connections are made including the Ground connector, before enabling external
power to EdgeSync.
