CHAPTER 1
Product Description
The Chapter presents an overview of the SecureSync 2400
Time and Frequency Synchronization System, its capabilities,
main technical features and specifications.
The following topics are included in this Chapter:
1.1 Getting Started 2
1.2 SecureSync Introduction 2
1.3 SecureSync Front Panel 3
1.4 Unit Rear Panel 11
1.5 Option Cards 13

1.1 Getting Started
Welcome to the SecureSync User Reference Guide.
Where to start:
First-time users:"SecureSync Introduction" below.
Users with some knowledge of Time and Frequency Servers: "Installation Over-
view" on page36.
If your unit is up and running and you want to change a setting:"Managing Time"
on page165, or "System Administration" on page237.
1.2 SecureSync Introduction
SecureSync 2400 Time and Frequency Synchronization System®is the latest-version,
security-hardened 1-rack unit network appliance designed to meet rigorous network secur-
ity standards and best practices. It ensures accurate timing through multiple references,
tamper-proof management, and extensive logging. Robust network protocols are used to
allow for easy but secure configuration. Features can be enabled or disabled based on your
network policies. Installation is aided by DHCP (IPv4), AUTOCONF (IPv6), and a front-
panel keypad and OLED display.
The unit supports multi-constellation GNSS input (SAASM GPS receivers, supporting
L1/L2, available for authorized users and required for the US DoD are available), IRIG input
and other input references. The unit is powered by AC on an IEC60320 connector.
SecureSync combines Orolia’s precision master clock technology and secure network-cent-
ric approach with a compact modular hardware design to bring you a powerful time and fre-
quency reference system at the lowest cost of ownership. Military and commercial
applications alike will benefit from its extreme reliability, security, and flexibility for syn-
chronizing critical operations.

1.1 Getting Started

An important advantage of SecureSync is its unique rugged and flexible modular chassis
that can be configured for your specific needs. Built-in time and frequency functions are
extended with up to six input/output modules.
You can choose from a variety of configurable option cards, each with an assortment of
input/output timing signal types and quantity, including additional 1PPS, 10 MHz, timecode
(IRIG, ASCII, HAVE QUICK), other frequencies (5MHz, 2.048MHz, 1.544MHz, 1MHz), Pre-
cision Timing Protocol (PTP) input/output, multi-Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T),
telecom T1/E1 data rates and multi-network NTP, allowing SecureSync to be customized
for your exact requirements.
A variety of internal oscillators is available, depending on your requirements for holdover
capability and phase noise.
Note: Some of the features described are not available on all SecureSync
variants.
1.2.1 SecureSync's Inputs and Outputs
SecureSync provides multiple outputs for use in networked devices and other syn-
chronized devices. A 10MHz frequency reference provides a precise, disciplined signal for
control systems and transmitters. A 1-Pulse-Per-Second (1PPS) output acts as a precise
metronome, counting off seconds of System Time in the selected timescale (such as UTC,
TAI or GPS); this BNC connector can also be configured to produce IRIG, HaveQuick, or
GPO signals. A multi-I/O 15 pin connector provides default IRIG, ATC, and HaveQuick
Inputs, as well as IRIG, IRIGAM, HaveQuick, and ATC Outputs. These options can all be con-
figured to suit your application (see "Configurable Connectors" on page136).
SecureSync's outputs are driven by its inputs – most notably, Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS), or IRIG signal generators and other available input references. GNSS-
equipped SecureSyncs can track up to 72 GNSS satellites simultaneously and synchronize
to the satellite’s atomic clocks. This enables SecureSync-equipped computer networks to
synchronize anywhere on the planet.
1.3 SecureSync Front Panel
The front panel of a SecureSync unit consists of:
an LED time display
seven illuminated status LED menu buttons
a front panel control keypad
an OLED information display menu

The OLED information display is configurable using the front panel controls. The micro
USB serial interface and the front panel controls provide a means to configure the unit’s
network settings and perform other functions without requiring access to the Web UI.
SecureSync units with the SAASM GPS receiver option module installed also have an
encryption key fill connector and key zeroize pin switch on the left-hand side of the front
panel.

1.3.1 Status LEDs
SecureSync's front panel status LEDs provide a real-time status overview: Seven (7) LEDs
indicate the unit's current operating state.
