GPS Referenced NTP Time Server with IRIG-B, 10 MHz, 1 PPS Output
Product Information
Microsemi's new SyncServer S650 combines the best of time and frequency instrumentation with unparalleled flexibility and powerful network/security-based features for networks requiring best-in-class sync performance which is readily adaptable to a wide range of applications.
Superior Flexibility
The base timing I/O module with 8 BNC connectors comes as standard with the most popular I/O timing signals (IRIG A, IRIG B, IRIG E, IRIG G,10 MHz, 1PPS etc). When more flexibility is required, the unique Microsemi FlexPort™ technology option enables 6 of the BNCs to output any supported signal (time codes, sine waves, programmable rates), all configurable in real time via the secure web interface. This flexible BNC-by-BNC configuration makes efficient and cost-effective use of the 1U space available.
Robust Timing and Design
The 72-channel GNSS receiver coupled with Microsemi's patented Active Thermal Compensation Technology provides excellent accuracy of <15 ns RMS to UTC (USNO). S650 has durable hardware design subjected to MIL-STD-810G testing, high-reliability components extending the operating temperature range to a very wide -20°C to +65°C, and a dual power supply option. Further, upgrading to a high performance oscillator, such as a Rubidium atomic clock, keeps the S650 accurate for long periods in the event of a GNSS service disruption.
Ultra High Performance NTP Time Server
The S650 can effortlessly support hundreds of thousands of network clients while maintaining microsecond caliber NTP timestamp accuracy. NTP request throughput rates exceed 10,000 requests/ second while maintaining NTP timestamp accuracy. If the Security License option is enabled, the NTP Reflector™ can process over 120,000 NTP requests per second with 15 nanosecond caliber time stamp accuracy with the added benefit of security hardening the network port. This can easily translate into sub-millisecond typical NTP client synchronization accuracy on a LAN.
IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster
Applications demanding very precise time accuracy can deploy IEEE-1588 PTP. The S650 IEEE-1588 PTP output license enables PTP multi-port/profile grandmaster operations using the built-in hardware timestamping on each LAN port of the S650, including the GbE ports and the optional 10 GbE ports. Each port can be configured as a unique PTP grandmaster with different profiles and settings enabling a single S650 to operate as multiple grandmasters on the network simultaneously.
Superior Low Phase Noise
For applications requiring superior low phase noise (LPN) 10 MHz signals, two different LPN modules are available. Each module has eight extremely isolated 10 MHz LPN outputs, with each module offering excellent levels of LPN or Ultra LPN performance.
Multi-GNSS Constellaton Support for Enhanced Reliability
Timing integrity, satellite signal continuity, and timing reliability can be improved with the GNSS option that adds support for Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS constellations. With more satellites in view, timing performance can be improved in challenging environments, such as urban canyons. All SyncServer S650s ship with GNSS hardware ready to be enabled with a software license. The S650 is also available without GNSS in the S650i model.
Secure Networking
Security is an inherent part of the SyncServer S650. The four standard GbE ports, and optional two 10 GbE SFP+ ports, accommodate more than 10,000 NTP requests per second using hardware time stamping and compensation. All network traffic to the S650 CPU is bandwidth-limited for protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. For more secure NTP operations, enable the optional Security-Hardened NTP Reflector capable of 360,000 NTP requests per second all with 100% hardware-based NTP packet processing. The reflector is also a CPU-protecting firewall, bandwidth limiting non-NTP traffic to the CPU. It is also equipped with DoS detection, notification and protection against abnormally high NTP traffic.
Leverage Built-in Hardware
The SyncServer S650 includes additional built-in hardware features that are enabled through software license keys, such as the Security-Hardened NTP Reflector, PTP outputs and PTP input.
Intuitive, Secure and Easy to Use Web Interface
The modern web interface is the primary control interface of the S650. Once the keypad and display are used to bring the unit online, complete status and control functions are easily found via the well organized left side-expanding/collapsing navigation menu.
Standard Management Access Security
All of the expected network management protocols are standard in the S650. These include mandatory password access, HTTPS/SSL only (using the high encryption cipher suite), SSH, access control lists, service termination, SNMPv2/v3, and NTP MD5 authentication. All traffic to the S650 CPU is bandwidth-limited for protection against DoS attacks. The local keypad on the server can be password-protected to prevent tampering.
