Product Overview
This section is designed to help you become familiar with the structure, features, and func-
tions of the SecureSync 1200 Time and Frequency System.
1.1 SecureSync Front Panel
The front panel of a SecureSync unit consists of:
three separate illuminated status LEDs
a front panel control keypad
an LED time display
an LCD information display
an RS-232 serial interface
and a temperature controlled cooling fan.
Figure 1-1: SecureSync front panel layout (SAASM version)
1.1.1 Front Panel Keypad, and Display
To simplify operation and to allow local access to SecureSync, a keypad and a 4-line LCD
information display are provided on the front panel of the unit.
The front panel keypad and display can be used to configure basic network settings e.g.,
en-/disabling DHCP, or setting an IP address and subnet mask.

pq arrow keys: Scroll through parameter values in edit displays
üENTER key: Select a menu option, or load a parameter when editing
ÒBACK key: Return to previous display or abort an edit process
1.1.1.2 Navigating the Front Panel Display
The main menu options and their primary functions are as follows:
Display: Used to configure the information display
Clock:Displaying and setting of the current date and time
System:Displaying version info, system halt and reboot, reset spadmin password
Netv4:Network interface configuration
Lock: Locks the front panel keypad to prevent inadvertent operation.
1.1.2 Status LEDs
Three Status LEDs (see "SecureSync front panel layout (SAASM version)" on the pre-
vious page), located on the unit's front panel, indicate SecureSync's current operating
status:
POWER: Green, always on while power is supplied to the unit
SYNC: Tri-color LED indicates the time data accuracy
FAULT: Two-color, three-state LED, indicating if any alarms are present.
At power up, the unit automatically performs a brief LED test run during which all three
LEDs are temporarily lit.
1.2 Unit Rear Panel
The SecureSync rear panel accommodates the connectors for all input and output ref-
erences.

Typically, option cards will be installed at the factory.
The DC Power port connector is only installed if your unit was ordered with a DC input
power option.
Note: DC input power does not have an ON/OFF switch.
The ACPower connector is the input for the ACpower and provides an ACpower
ON/OFF switch. This connector assembly is only installed if SecureSync was
ordered with AC input power option.
The Ethernet connector provides an interface to the network for NTP syn-
chronization and to obtain access to the SecureSync product Web UI for system
management. It has two small indicator lamps, “Good Link” (green LED), and “Activ-
ity” (orange LED).

Note: Retain all original packaging for use in return shipments if necessary.
The following items are included with your shipment:
SecureSync unit
QuickStart Guide (printed version)
Ancillary items (except for rack mounting items, the contents of this kit may vary
based on equipment configuration and/or regional requirements)
Purchased optional equipment; note that option cards listed on the purchase order
will be pre-installed in the unit.
2.3 Required Tools and Parts
Depending on your application and system configuration, the following tools and parts may
be required:
Phillips screwdrivers to install the rack-mount ears, and to mount the unit in a 19"-
rack
If you plan on using DC power Orolia recommends an external ON/OFF switch.
Ethernet cables.
2.3.1 Required GNSS Antenna Components
Should you plan on using a GNSS reference with your SecureSync, you will also need:
18 SecureSync Getting Started Guide Rev. 12.0
2.2 Unpacking and Inventory

Antenna cable with SMA connector, or conversion cable
GNSS antenna with mounting bracket
GNSS antenna surge suppressor (recommended)
GNSS antenna inline amplifier (optional for short cable lengths)
For antenna installation guidelines, see the separate documentation shipped with the
antenna components.
2.4 Mounting the Unit
SecureSync units can be operated on a desktop or in a rack in a horizontal,right-side-up
position.
2.4.1 Rack Mounting
If installing the unit in a rack, install the rack-mount ears on the two sides of the front panel
and mount the unit in a standard 19-inch rack cabinet.
The SecureSync ancillary kit contains the following parts needed for rack mounting:
2 each 1165-1000-0714 rack mounting brackets
2 each MP09-0003-0030 equipment rack handles
4 each H020-0832-0406 #8-32 flat head Phillips screws
6 each HM20R-04R7-0010 M4 flat head Phillips screws
The following customer supplied items are also needed:
4 each #10-32 pan head rack mount screws
1 each #2 Phillips head screwdriver
1 each 3/32" straight screwdriver
To rack mount the SecureSync unit:
1. Attach an MP09-0003-0030 equipment rack handle to the front of each 1165-
1000-0714 rack mounting bracket, using the holes nearest the right angle bend of
the 1165-1000-0714 rack mounting bracket, with the #2 size Phillips screwdriver,
using 2 each of the H020-0832-0406 #8-32 flat head Phillips screws.
2. Attach the 1165-1000-0714 rack mount brackets to the sides of the SecureSync
with the rack mounts ears facing outward, aligned with the front edge of the
SecureSync front panel. Use the #2 Phillips screwdrivers, using 3 each of the
HM20R-04R7-0010 M4 flat head Phillips screws.
2.4 Mounting the Unit
SecureSync Getting Started Guide Rev. 12.0 19

3. Secure the rack mount brackets to the rack using the #10-32 rack mount screws
and #2 Phillips head screwdriver, 2 each per side of the rack.
2.5 Connecting Supply Power
Depending on the equipment configuration at time of purchase, SecureSync can be
powered from:
an AC input
a DC input
with both AC, and DC input.
Supplying both AC and DC input power provides redundant and automatic power
switchover in case one or the other input power sources is lost.
Before connecting power to the unit, be sure that you have read all safety information
detailed in section "SAFETY" on page15.
2.5.1 Power Source Selection
If both an AC, and a DC power source are connected to the unit, the following rules apply:
If AC and DC power are both applied, AC power is used.
If DC power is applied, but AC power is not, then DC power will be used.
If AC and DC power are both present, but AC power is subsequently lost,
SecureSync will automatically switch to using the DC power input.
DANGER! — This unit will contain more than one power source if both the
AC and DC power options are present. Turning off the rear panel power
switch will NOT remove all power sources.
The following sections discuss AC and DC power input. Connect AC and/or DC power, as
required.
2.5.2 Using AC Input Power
Connect the AC power cord supplied in the SecureSync ancillary kit to the AC input on the
rear panel and the AC power source outlet. The AC input is fuse-protected with two fuses
located in the AC power entry module (line and neutral inputs are fused). The AC power
entry module also contains the main power switch for the AC power applied to the equip-
ment.
